It's unfortunate that none of us watch fox anymore, so it's going to be difficult to get a youtube.

You hear it right.
Any one pay attention to Paul will know what Trump is talking about.

Impossible. Donald Trump is a big supporter of Rudy--he's been hosting fundraisers for him.

I've heard Trump interviewed many times on the Don Imus show and he indeed sounds like a Ron Paul man.

Yes. Unfortunately, many candidates and their supporters have decided to support Ron Paul's IDEAS but yet ignore Ron Paul himself actually exists.

This should be interesting to see. Hopefully someone can get it up on youtube.

No surprise.
Donald Trump endorsed Pat Buchanan in 2000 - check Wikipedia on the 2000 Election to see the endorsemet list....

So Trump has gone from a Ron Paul endorsement, to a Rudy Giuliani supporter and then to a Hillary Clinton donor in this thread....

Yeah on open secrets there are a few that gave tow 3 or 4 candidates. Kind of like Donald covering both favorites (in May)

Unless you are a poor shmo like me.

Yes...soon these chameleons will start using Ron's platform as their own and the media will let them get away with it.

Actually, Donald Trump is a big fan of eminent domain. Not sure how RP feels about that, but it's definitely not something I'm for.

Trump convinced the State agency to use its “eminent domain” power to take Vera’s home so he could construct a limousine parking lot for his customers—hardly a public purpose.

I'm pretty sure that RP is against eminent domain. Check out this:

This is probably going to be a stupid question, but how was Trump able to give $4000 to one candidate in one quarter?

I thought $2300 was the limit.

Because he is Donald Trump!

You can give up to 4,600 counting your wife/husband.

I was watching FOX News when Trump was speaking. He said something to the effect that the US is in the wrong place (Middle East), meddling with the wrong people (muslims) and the you cannot be the "police of every single place oin the world". He said he knows the FOX hosts wouldn't like what he was saying, but your government doesn't have the money to finance the perpetual war stuff.

I'm paraphrasing of course, but that was the essence of it.

And no, sorry, I don't have a youtube of it :(

I was just thinking to myself that the things Trump usually champions are very similar to Paul's. Never thought this would happen...

Impossible. Donald Trump is a big supporter of Rudy--he's been hosting fundraisers for him.

Trump mention Clinton and Giuliani (both are from New York, btw) but when he described the policies he supported, it was dead on Ron Paul. He acknowledged that we couldnt afford the war and that we should not be in Iraq.

Trump is notoriously anti-war and anti-Bush, so this would be very surprising.

If that were the reason, then $2300 would have to be listed under his wife's name, correct?

I'm sure there is a simple answer here. I just don't know what it is.

Donald Trump's MySpace profile has Hillary Clinton as a friend.

When Trump speaks politics, he does support all of Pauls policy's. Makes it very difficult to understand why Trump endorced Rudy, other then if their is some NY buddies favors game going on between them.

2300 for Primary and 2300 for general = 4,600 total

Also Barry Manilow gave 2300 to paul and to 3 democrats.

Some big name people like to cover all thier bases. and give money to people they share ideas with. Trump gives money mainly to New York politicians. you scratch my back, I scratch yours type of deal.

From ronpaul2008.com
"Individuals may contribute up to $2,300.00. Couples may contribute up to $4,600.00. Contributions are not tax deductible. Corporate contributions are prohibited."

So I guess the issue is how it's reported. I figured even if a couple donated over $2300, that it would need to be reported separately, not jointly.

But that probably explains it.

Thanks.

Yeh i would have thought so too. Just seems the way it is worded that you can "claim" your wife. Only think i could think of, of how he got to donate 4,000

Not only that, Trump is not the "Vice President" of Trump Enterprises. He is the President and CEO.

Even when you listen to Hannity or Limbaugh they'll sometimes start talking about the importance of conservative values and less government.

Most of them are just too stupid to realize that there is only one candidate with these views.
