VIDEO: Donald Trump goes pottymouth with “F words” tirade at Las Vegas speech, announces candidacy?
Flush from his most recent victory you might have heard about, a gregarious Donald Trump held court in Las Vegas with a stream of consciousness speech that contained laugh lines a-plenty.
But not only that, he unleashed some rather unpresidential profanity along with it!
Among the bullet points of his speech were the following topics:
• The movement of President Obama’s health care act through the courts
• President Obama telling businesses to stay away from Las Vegas
• His contributions to Democrat politicians such as Rahm Emanuel
• Rasmussen polls that place him atop the list of potential Republican candidates
• Trade imbalance with China
• Troubles with OPEC
• Jobs leaving the US and not coming back
• South Korea taking advantage of our military
• How President Obama has a fawning media that protects him
• Cynicism about Iraq becoming a true democracy
The above agenda may seem like a sober analysis of Republican political concerns, but coming out of Trump’s mouth it was more like a standup routine, with barbs and zingers aimed at his targets of choice:
• About Obama’s birth certificate: “I accomplished something nobody else had accomplished…I just want to ask one thing: Why didn’t he do it two or three years ago?”
• About his opponents in a potential political race: “I’ve dealt with these frickin’ politicians all my life!”
• About OPEC having America over the proverbial barrel of oil: “We have nobody in Washington that sits back and says, ‘You’re not gonna raise that f**kin’ price. Do you understand me?'” (This comment received a standing ovation.)
• Paraphrasing the Chinese response to his tirades against his tirades against them: “S**t! Can you believe we’re talking to this guy?!?!”
• About China’s reception at the Obama White House: “When people are screwing you, you don’t give them a state dinner!”
• About our investment in Iraq and Afghanistan with money and military: “We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can’t get a f***ing school in Brooklyn…”
• And about what he would communicate to the Chinese about applying tariffs to their imports: “Listen you mother f***ers we’re going to tax you 25 percent…”
There’s plenty more where that came from, so if you’re in the mood for some Trumpmania, watch the videos linked below:

As for his presidential aspirations, perhaps the answer to “will he or won’t he run?” can be determined from an interchange with a woman who made a shout from the crowd: “Run for president!”
Trump replied: “Thank you darlin’, I think I’m gonna make you happy.”
So what’s your take on the potential for a Trump candidacy? Is he a straight talker or just a loudmouth? Does he have a solid prescription for our economic woes, or is he blinded by his own ego to what’s really needed? And are his callouts to the president legitimate or just gratuitous?
