Trump called the Chinese "Mother F#ckers"... is this his way of getting out of the race?

[Snoutport]

Why would Trump do something so stupid as calling the Chinese "Mother F#ckers"? Is this his way of creating an uproar so he can step aside? It makes no sense to say such a thing unless you are doing it for a purpose. His whole cursing tirade on CNN tonight...it seems he's trying to give himself an excuse to step aside. Soon he'll say, "People are really upset I'm speaking my mind so I'm going to step down."

Can anyone else figure it out?

1. I see that everyday just reading DU.

:hide:

[rufus dog]

2. YUP

Original take was he needed money and the Kochs funded him to bash Obama and take the heat off Ryan, now that the gig is up he needs to flame out.

[TheBigotBasher]

15. You may be right

[Merlot]

18. That makes the most sense

Especially in light of his previous comments about being pro-choice, etc.

[DefenseLawyer]

23. I think he needed buzz to try and get his moronic show renewed by NBC n/t

[rufus dog]

28. I thought that too early on....

But changed my mind, saw a post today that his show is highly watched by Democrats. Obviously he would know the demographics of his audience. And I have to admit, up until a couple of months ago I would tune in and I watch very little Network TV.

That being said, his ratings initially went up, then dropped for the past couple of weeks. Makes sense, the racist and "Christians" (I put Christians in quotes not to offend Christians but to offend the so called "Christians" like Franklin Graham) tuned in in droves and he dropped some from his core group. Now he has offended both groups.

Thus, my theory that he needed the money and someone put him up to his antics.

[DefenseLawyer]

34. I'm not sure it's about ratings

I think the show has probably run it's course and he is hoping to con them into signing on for one more season. But that's only speculation on my part, he may not really have a plan, other than enjoying the sound of his own voice.

3. At one point, I thought he was a Republican, trying to win

Then at another, I thought he was a Democrat, trying to make the GOP look bad

Then recently, and I think I might be right here, I think he's just an ego the size of Texas

And he really thinks this will work

He is a dumbass

Everything he does is dumb

So much for the market clearing out the stupid, which is what most of the Ayn Randers think

It actually rewards the stupid and psychopathic

[Fuzz]

19. Texas is too small for that mother f**kers ego

[Uncle Joe]

4. No, it's the same BS as the birther nonsense, he's just tea-bagging for the misguided, brainwashed

Republican primary votes.

Thanks for the thread, Snoutport.

10. Iowa repub Caucus goers hate the sin of Gambling and the sin of Ex-Wives

Oh and they are not fond of the F-word at all.

They might have figured out a way to work around the first too, but it is now clear Mr. Trump is an evil hell bound corrupter.

[Snoutport]

25. Lol...I hope he is humiliated by this whole experience.

[ReggieVeggie]

5. you're assuming he's in the race

which is doubtful

[Snoutport]

26. No! I don't think he'll run at all!!! But he'll need a reason to back out

from even considering to run.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. Meet the new Palin, same as the old Palin...

...he appeals to the baser instincts of knuckle-dragging, parents'-basement-dwelling freepers, just like the barraquitter, and that's all we need to know.

[freshwest]

7. He's just changing the color of his racist spiel from 'black' to 'yellow.' And like the coward...

He no doubt is, he's guessing he's safer from a group thousands of miles away instead right here in the USA.

The GOP isn't serious about winning this election when they entertain candidates such as this.

What troubles me much more than anything he says is that they still have followers who refuse to learn how to get along in a changing world.

That's simply not going to work, and they're going to flip over it.

[Snoutport]

35. so it will be "the gays" next?

[CBGLuthier]

8. He is too stupid to have anything like a plan

He just opens his mouth and the shit rolls out.

9. Rush Limbaugh was no better when

Hu Jintao was here visiting Obama. Ziyi Zhang should have kicked Rush's butt that day...

11. He's not in it.

[Booster]

12. I think it's way of making sure he can't possibly win. He reminds

me of Perot - when he thought he might win he made up that laughable story about his daughter and, sue enough, it blew him out of the water because he looked totally insane. Trump's doing the same thing. It's all about ratings for him, and his ratings for The Apprentice are pretty low.

[Welibs]

13. THIS IS TRUMP!!! He has a long record of freaking out when anyone challenges him

because he's an ego maniac! If ANYONE says anything about him, if anyone calls him out for anything, he starts with the dirty mouth and attacks like a rabid animal. He has no capacity for wit and no class Or diplomacy! It would be WWIII if Trump got into the White House and we would be the ones fighting off the rest of the world.


Donald Trump is a TOOL!

[spanone]

14. he's a classless shit. hey franklin graham, you endorse his 'motherfucker' talk?

[Bluebear]

16. Un-pres-i-den-tial. nt

[Canuckistanian]

17. I'm wondering how "motherfucker" translates into Mandarin

I'm guessing that much isn't lost in the translation for the Beijing press.

[DefenseLawyer]

20. Of all the reasons to dismiss this blowhard, trust-fund douchebag

Swearing wouldn't be at the top of my list. I believe Mr. Truman was known to throw around an expletive or two, and he wasn't half bad.

[musette_sf]

21. I think he's now trying the Carl Paladino campaign speech

[mmonk]

22. He said it for popularity.

That's how you get a following at least with the American right. The more hate speech you engage in, the more they crave.

[kentuck]

24. I think you are on to something.

also, he will not have to show his tax returns.

[Snoutport]

27. he must have tons of skeletons--no way he can run...but he still has to bow out over something

[rufus dog]

29. OK, now you have me thinking about his motives again

Gotta stop, get the Donald out of the brain!

Anyway you bring up a solid point, he has an ego out of control. The President releases the BC, Donald about to get pounded to release tax records, so he goes off on a rant to divert attention.

[Snoutport]

33. yeah--to the people who hold a lot of our debt

[Keith Bee]

30. No

But race is a relevant word in this context.

[Frisbee]

31. He's just an attention whore, and will get it any way he can. n/t

[thankyouverymuch]

32. He has no intention of running
