What do Donald Trump, Lil Jon, Meat Loaf, and Gary Busey have in common?

“Obama praised Trump’s executive experience in a backhanded way, by referring to Trump’s TV show, “The Celebrity Apprentice.”

“You, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership,” Obama said. “And so ultimately, you didn’t blame Lil Jon or Meat Loaf. You fired Gary Busey. These are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir.”

The room erupted in cathartic cheers. Trump received the ribbing with a closed-mouth smirk.”

Did Trump touch you when you were a kid or something , Jim? You seem to have a real thing for him just lately.

I don't like him. I don't want him as a presidential candidate. He comes from the lot that brought down the real estate market and financial institutions. He is an opportunist lacking compassion and morality. As a voter citizen, I am drawing the line.

I think that the last laugh and cheap shots mean little in a world filled with craziness and lies. I am sure that Trump knew that being at the media fest he would be fodder. Stupid he is not. Media savvy he is and received some sympathy because of Obama's cheap shots. Short term satisfaction but long term stupidity. Guys and their need to show who has the bigger D@@K.

I hope his self-promotion is good for his business and his business creates more jobs. He can create more jobs as an entrpreneur than he can as president, IMO.

YankeeJim, I only wish it were true about Trump bringing down the Real estate market. But in the end we will sadly find that it was government and congressional jaw boning the banks to give bad loans to their voters that helped create this domino effect.

Fannie mae and freddie mac were used to cover up this congressional insanity all but threatening the banks to capitulate and later blaming the banks for bundling these questionable loans covered by guarantees from freddie and fannie.

Actually, if Trump was the culprit I am sure he would have protected his son-in-law from getting caught up in this mess buying way to high and having trouble paying off this debt in a real estate transaction gone awry.
