Busy day for The Donald! When he wasn't ranting on CNN that President Obama may have pulled off “the greatest scam in history" by convincing voters he was born in America, he was telling NBC viewers that America is "going to hell."

Trump cited deficits and unemployment as chief harbingers of our demise should we fail to elect the super-coiffed "Celebrity Apprentice" host in 2012.

The bombastic media blitz might be paying off: a new poll puts Trump only slightly behind Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney among Republican voters in that all-important primary state, New Hampshire.

Trump told the "Today" show's Meredith Vieira:

"I love this country, but this country is going to hell. I would run a great, great country. This country will be great again. It is not great right now.

"We have huge deficits, we have huge unemployment, we have huge problems. And we're not respected. We're not respected in the world.

"The world laughs at us. They won't be laughing if I'm president."

For many years, I did not like Donald Trump, but since he has been campaigning for the simple values of this country, I have grown to like him. I do not blindly follow celebraties or slick-talking satanic presidents, but I will say, Trump is making sense. America is going to hell, for many reasons.

The president is Satan, himself.

Moral values are fading away.

God is not allowed, anywhere.

Shame on anyone that believes in the one True Savior, Jesus Christ!

Political correctness has given America an identity crisis.

Self-centeredness is king.

Somehow, having money, equals intelligence.

The seven deadly sins are the new standard.

Christianity is out and Islam is in.

What more needs to be said. Donald Trump is correct - America is going to hell. May God have mercy on our souls.

Anyone half awake can see that the community organizer is trying to take America down the tubes. The best thing Balmy could do for America is resign. He gave our horizon deep water oil exploration to Brazil plus 2 billion tax payers' dollars. He totally disregarded that 83,000 gulf residents in the oil industry are out of work.

Trump is a successful business man and is not afraid to tell it like it is. Balmy has no respect in the international community. To them he is a big joke and can easily be manipulated to suit their whims. Trump has already to him for "free" how to deal with China. He is too big a coward to take his advise.

Making fun of Trump's hair is just fine if that is all the criticism you can come up with! What about Balmy's ears? I hope that most individuals are not moved by the physical appearance but on their experience and intelligence. Both are lacking in the current WH.

I'm sorry, folks, but I've gone over to the right wing. Let's face it: There's a helluva lot more cash to be made there. Listen, I'm not stupid! If there's a buck to be made, I'm gonna make it. As someone just reminded me on my Facebook page: "It's easier to argue that side. You don't need any facts....just instill fear." Damned right! Why the heck didn't I think of this years ago? Just think of all those nasty hours I'll save by not having to do a bit of research! I think I'm going to go out now and join a country club - white Christians only of course!

I am now a "birther". If it's good enough for Donald Trump then dag nap it, it's good enough for me!

Trump has a TV program in which his viewers get to watch failure in action. It is about an overlord pronouncing judgment on people who have done their best to please their Pharaoh and are then pronounced unfit and publicly humiliated and rejected.

People who enjoy seeing this display of the economic model of the Dark Ages where one man is appointed Lord over all others, (and let's not forget that this "Lord" has been serially bankrupt throughout his career,) are people who live in misery and seek company. They watch to revel in the failure of another person.

The show is not about success, which we see only in the final episode each year, but about crushing people who are willing to give their all in the attempt to find wealth, which is the only measure of success the nation recognizes anymore.

The country may indeed be going to hell, but it is going there because of our Deification of the rich and for no other reason.

It isn't going to hell any faster than it has over the last 200+ years.
Trump is drama queen.
He has made a lot of his money on gambling. Profit from the misery of others. He has also had several business fail. I heard a rumor that he got a government bailout.

He's a jerk, hell bound to make America worse --he tried to come into Fresno Calif. and take over a golf course and the people were smart enough to run him out of town on a rail --we had a local talk show host named RAY APPLETON who was kissing his ass left and right in and out with his tongue to make the Donald feel good and a part of the Fresno Ca. area --well to hell to both Ray Appleton and the Donald -- next Ray will be run out of town on a rail too --guess that's why he lives up in Shaver Lake -- in the Mountains--he's almost there --lousy human being !!

It's nothing about Hell, it's about a dictator ship. Listen to Trump talk with his perch mouth, then look at Hitler, one and the same. He will either have in WW4 or fire everyone that doesn't agree with him. Remember he is in the real estate business, look at that one. Trump hid in the corners with his invested money so his name was never brought up in the scam. To think America would ever vote for this human being, surely we are losing it. Trump has the money to travel outer space, I wish he would and build his other empire somewhere else.

The whole world, including America, is going to hell. The end times are here, and things will keep getting worse, regardless of who is elected president.

As for Donald Trump, I do like his commonsense thinking. He reminds me a lot of Ross Perot, whom I voted for years ago. If we still have the right to vote in 2012, I may vote for Trump.

Regarding the birth certificate, mine also says, Certificate of Live Birth. The difference between my and Obama's Certificate of Live Birth is that mine has an actual signature, not a stamped one. My son's birth certificate, which is from a state 3,000 miles away from mine, is titled Certificate of Vital Records. His certificate also has a real signature, not a signature stamp. Since my son and I were born thirty-one years apart and 3,000 miles from each other, I find it rather odd that Obama's Certificate of Live Birth does not possess an actual signature written in pen. Perhaps this is one indication of a possible scam.

Yes, especially the Roman1 verse 26-32 sinners. But I didn't come on the blog to preach on this subject I came on because I believe that Trump is a very brave individual and I hope he does become our next President. MY, it is so nice to come back to Sodahead after such a long absence, but, the assembly bloggers have been busy pushing the good old birther story to the front line. The long brain scar Hopey Changey man is looking PRETTY old and gloomy lately, I see. Gosh even he has black circles around his eyes. Could it be that "his sealed medical records" have been leaked? Gosh, what would the nation say to Hope man who is "not" so innocent when they find out why "he has been hiding them".. Gosh, could it be that Trump is getting closer and closer to the truth, and the leaks are coming to the mainland from Hawaii, or is it that Pelosi is having anexities attacks in the hospital because "she" knows that while the dogs are sniffing , they are coming close to Biden and her, real close.........gosh........such problemas.......It almost makes me feel like dedicating this song to the deceitful ones..........oh..well....why not....it will take awhile before it is understood

Fiscal irresponsibility is a huge part of why, how many times has Donald gone bankrupt? If you can bankrupt a casino, imagine what you could do with a nation.

Donald and Obama both like Universal health care, Donald and Obama both like gun control, Donald and Obama obviously both like bankruptcy because Donald has done it multiple times and Obama is heading there with the Nation, Donald and Obama both have pro choice pasts, Donald and Obama both adore Charles Rangel, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Kennedys, John Kerry, and Rahm Emanuel.

“I generally oppose gun control, but I SUPPORT THE BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS and I support a slightly LONGER WAITING PERIOD to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record.”

Our objective [should be] to make reforms for the moment and, longer term, to find an equivalent of the single-payer plan that is affordable, well-administered, and provides freedom of choice. Possible? The good news is, yes. There is already a system in place-the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program-that can act as a guide for all healthcare reform. It operates through a centralized agency that offers considerable range of choice. While this is a government program, it is also very much market-based. It allows 620 private insurance companies to compete for this market. Once a year participants can choose from plans which vary in benefits and costs".
