    There are some signs that Trump himself may not really believe these things, though. He told the editorial board of The New York Times that he uses the wall talk to inject enthusiasm into rallies when energy is flagging: “You know, if it gets a little boring, if I see people starting to sort of, maybe thinking about leaving, I can sort of tell the audience, I just say, ‘We will build the wall!’ and they go nuts.”

    Seldom has a candidate run on such a clear set of policies, delivered so bluntly: He’s gonna build a wall. He’s gonna rip up trade agreements. He’s gonna stop Muslim immigration. He’s gonna beat China. Yet in spite of the directness of these promises—or perhaps because of them—quite a few of Trump’s supporters in the Republican Party insist that he doesn’t really mean what he says.

    The problem is that Trump has not yet told anyone how he is going to accomplish all of those things. HE'S ALL TALK. He knows, I know, you know, and America knows be won't be able to do any of that. That's why trump is going to lose in a historical fashion

    Not..exactly...inspiring confidence from the 'pinnacle'...

    Donald Trump’s bare-bones tax plan would cut rates — but add more than $10 trillion to the debt. His goal to trim the national debt to zero in eight years would require slashing all federal spending by two-thirds, even if he ditched the proposed tax cut. And he’s got no plans to trim Medicare or Social Security, the main drivers of spending.

    He proposes this
    6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states. Nearly every state already offers benefits beyond what is required in the current Medicaid structure. The state governments know their people best and can manage the administration of Medicaid far better without federal overhead. States will have the incentives to seek out and eliminate fraud, waste and abuse to preserve our precious resources.
    7.Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers.

    How does block grant medicaid solve the medicare entitlement issue? Those are two different programs here in the states.

    And #7 can allow cheaper prices for consumers but that's not an economic plan that has anything to do with job growth, eliminating the deficit or cutting the debt.

    Under his plan, the federal share of Medicaid would be converted to a block grant in, and be indexed to increase with the size of the Medicaid population as well as the growth in the gross domestic product per capita plus 1 percentage point. States would have more flexibility to administer the program. According to the CBO, the plan would reduce federal spending by $180 billion over the next decade.

    Cheaper prices are always a viable economic plan.

    Well here's an interesting assessment about Flynn from that bastion of liberalism, the American Conservative. Take a read about his book and his worldview:

    Dude. Medicaid and Medicare are NOT the same thing. I know you have no idea what you wrote above, but trust me... it isn't addressing the assessment by Politico.

    http://www.rawstory.com/2016/07/nypd-commish-says-trump-wanted-a-photo-op-with-nyc-cops-in-the-wake-of-dallas-shooting/

    The New York Daily News reports that Trump on Friday morning called up the New York Police Department and asked if he could speak to officers at a 3 p.m. roll call at the NYPD Midtown North Precinct.

    Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, however, quickly nixed the idea.

    “Our interest is staying out of the politics of the moment, and not to provide photo ops,” Bratton told reporters. “If Mr. Trump wants to speak to me, I would be happy to brief him on what we’re doing. If Sen. Clinton wants to speak to me, I would very happy to brief her on what we’re doing. But we are not in the business of providing photo ops for our candidates.”

    What an absolute piece of shit
    That's great. Trump is scum and it's nice to see someone so simply acknowledge his motivation in asking to do that.
    So is this a false statement by Trumps campaign? http://www.wbaltv.com/politics/trump-campaign-denies-asking-nypd-to-address-cops/40427246
    Donald Trump's campaign is denying that the candidate wanted to meet with New York police officers Friday afternoon and hold a news conference at a midtown precinct in a show of support after the Dallas police ambush. An aide on the Trump campaign said that a request might have gone out tangentially from someone within the Trump Organization, mentioning long-standing ties between members of the organization and the NYPD.
    If the police commissioner actually said that, then yes, I would assume Trump's people are lying. Obviously I am going to trust the NYC police commissioner over Donald Trump. Lol, a request "might have gone out tangentially". :lol: Please.
    It's very easy when you are on a pinnacle to not know what the bottom of the pile is doing all the time. Quite sure once the person who sent this request is fired by now.
    No low level lacky is just taking it upon themselves to request a meeting with the New police force without being asked to.

    This has been obvious for months and months. We had this conversation here on the AMT last winter probably. I think you are one of the folks who disagreed that he was doing this in fact, even though it is clear as day that he feels that his supporters are total idiots who he can easily manipulate.

    "I've always said, if you run for president, you shouldn't be allowed to use teleprompters," Donald Trump, now the presumptive Republican nominee, said back in October. "Because you don't even know if the guy is smart."

    There is a time and place for a teleprompter. Now that he is the Presidential Nominee he has to.
    Also there were other times he used one http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/287319-trump-ill-most-likely-use-teleprompter-at-rnc
    Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump said he'll likely use a teleprompter at the Republican National Convention next week, but will probably make a final decision in the coming days.

    "I don't know if it's ever been done without essentially a teleprompter," Trump said in a preview of an interview with the Golf Channel's David Feherty released Monday.


    "I give rallies and we'll have 25,000 and 35,000 people and if I ever used a teleprompter speech, the people would say, 'What's going on here?,'" Trump said.

    "So we do very free-wheeling and we have a tremendous time and everybody loves it in the stadium, but in terms of television, it probably doesn't look as presidential," he continued.

    "If I would ever use in a stadium where you have 35,000 people and I stand up with a teleprompter, I think the people would laugh and then leave," he said.

    A teleprompter implies that Trump would put thought into what he's going to say. No wonder he doesn't like it.

    I think this is typical due to conflict of interest because he is getting vetted for clown school.

    Wouldn't you keep your job while you are vetted in case you don't get said clown job? Is he getting said clown job?
