Palm Beacher Donald Trump becomes fifth Floridian jumping into 2016 campaign

Donald-Trump

 

In the history of Florida, not a single person from the Sunshine State has risen to become president of the United States. Today, Palm Beach resident Donald Trump, in all his boorish buffoonery, said he is forming a presidential campaign exploratory committee.

What does this mean to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush or U.S. Senator Marco Rubio - probably not much more than a good laugh. Surely they must be chuckling over the idea that recently minted Floridians Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee are toying with presidential campaigns.

This is, of course, not Trump's first time playing - emphasis on the word playing - with the idea of being president. He usually blusters for a few months, then announces with great regret that the time is not right.

Note to Donald - the time will never be right.

Still, he has hired staff and this is his first exploratory committee. It would appear that Trump feels the need to work the marketing of Trump as presidential candidate a tad harder this time.

And lord knows if he really sticks with it for a period, he could make the campaign entertaining. 

Let's for a moment picture Trump in a debate with Bush.

Here's Trump's statement about the exploratory committee as reported by the New Hampshire Union Leader:

I have a great love for our country, but it is a country that is in serious trouble.

We have lost the respect of the entire world.

Americans deserve better than what they get from their politicians – who are all talk and no action!

I have built a great company, created thousands of jobs and built a tremendous net worth with some of the finest and most prestigious assets in the world – and very little debt! All Americans deserve the same opportunity. Our real unemployment rate is staggering while our manufacturing base is eroding on a daily basis.

We must rebuild our infrastructure, control our borders, support local control of education, greatly strengthen our military, care for our veterans and put Americans back to work! We must stop other countries from totally taking advantage of our representatives who are being out-negotiated at every turn.

I am the only one who can make America truly great again!

Where do I sign up? "Hump with Trump" would be a great slogan.

As you say, all bluff and guff. This bird demeans the word "unserious."
