Donald Trump: They hate me. They really hate me.

[marmar]

NASHUA, New Hampshire (Reuters) – Real estate magnate Donald Trump suggested Wednesday it's not much fun flirting with the idea of running for president in the face of relentless attacks and ridicule.

"Nobody said it was going to be easy, but I had no idea I would get hammered in the way I've been hammered the past few weeks," Trump said in Nashua, New Hampshire.

The billionaire host of NBC-TV's "Celebrity Apprentice" has hinted for months that he will run for the 2012 Republican nomination for a chance to take on President Barack Obama.

But Trump has slipped badly in surveys taken since Obama released his birth certificate confirming he was born in the United States. ............(more)

[SpiralHawk]

2. Nah. Not hate. More like pity you and laugh at you...

...Trumpy, you are a Compleat embodiment of Republicon Chickenhawk Family Cesspool Values.

A real selfish a-hole hypocrite amoral jerkwad. Kinda pitiful. Kinda funny.

You provoke not a ripple of real hate on the honorable left. Fear and hate -- as is well known -- are the principal & perverse province of your Republicon cabal. We just aren't into that shit. We love life -- and America -- too much to dell in the Homeland Hell of the Republicon psyche.

Now that you are whining about your FAIL (own it) to the corporate media -- like a typical whiney RepubliBagger -- you are only amping up your pathetAtude, Dude.

Good lord man, have you listened to a word you have said in the past few months????

[Blue Owl]

6. And this comes as a surprise to Mr. Boss?

I thought in the real world everyone JUST LOVES the boss.

:sarcasm:

[saras]

31. You're not suggesting that Springsteen run for president?

Trump the Rump is now a grump ... boofuckinghoo ....

[LiberalAndProud]

10. Yes, but what's happening to his ratings?

Because you have to focus on the important stuff, right Donald.

Poor little rich man kind of describes him, doesn't it?

[myrna minx]

11. It's not hate, it's cringe worthy embarrassment and pity for the

the caricature of a person that he is.

[Ineeda]

12. Poor Mr. Tough Guy.

:nopity:
So take your fake hair and your fake moneybags and your fake American exceptionalism and go home. Oh, and don't forget your gigantic ego.

[jberryhill]

[Brickbat]

14. Oh, oh, OH! Time to pull out the old "He Hate Me" jersey!

YES!!!

[LeftishBrit]

15. What goes around comes around!

As if his own campaign was all sweetness and light.

[JuniperLea]

16. What an asshat...

Apparently he hasn't paid attention to any political campains... ever. No idea he'd be hammered? What an idiot.

The funniest part is his attempt at a battle of wits with Obama... :rofl: Clearly Trump is unarmed in that battle!

[BeyondGeography]

19. Politics is tougher than business, Donald

Because all the rats have only one hole.

You'll learn.

[global1]

20. But Donald - You Led With Your Chin..........nt

[Pirate Smile]

22. Geez, he is the epitome of someone who can dish it out but can't take it.

He was absolutely insanely horrible toward the President for weeks on end. They put him on every channel and let him spew lies and smears.

He gets some pushback and starts whining like a toddler.

He is truly a pathetic and delusional man.

Hopefully, he never lives it down.

[BeeBee]

32. Exactly! n/t

[gratuitous]

23. Is this the same interview where he claims he has a thick skin?

Because from what I've seen of T Rump, he has about the thinnest skin of anyone this side of George W. Bush. Neither man stands for even the slightest vestige of veiled criticism, real or imagined. Shrub at least has an ersatz folksiness to try to channel his resentments, but T Rump isn't accustomed at all to explaining himself or being on the receiving end of criticism. The short-fingered vulgarian has always succeeded through bluster and bombast, but declaiming his own illusion of greatness doesn't work quite as well with the electorate as it does with his toadies and sycophants.

[liberal N proud]

24. First thing I have heard him say that made any sense

[lunatica]

25. It just wouldn't be complete without the victim card

[niyad]

26. ummm, drumpf??? seriously, you ignorant, clueless little jerk, we don't hate you--trust us, you are

not important enough to hate. pity you, laugh at you, joke about you, make fun of you, ignore you, but never hate you. what a waste of energy that would be.

[nolabear]

28. We do, we really do!

And so the walkback begins...

[IcyPeas]

29. I know where he can find "sympathy" . . .

look between shit and syphilis in the dictionary

[Downtown Hound]

30. Typical wimpy-ass, crybaby, yellow-gut, phony-blustering billionaire

So used to hiding behind his money and his power that he's never had to actually fight for anything before and take some heat. I think he really thought he was going to benefit from bringing up the birther crap. He thought it was going to be like doing another reality TV show where he got to go, "YOU'RE FIRED!" And everybody was going to love him for it.

Welcome to the real world Mr. Trump. The world of consequences that we "small people" deal with everyday.

[olegramps]

33. I don't hate him. He would have to actually stand for something to be hated.

Just another phony who inherited millions and believes that makes him intelligent and better than someone who wasn't as fortunate. Just another arrogant slob that doesn't have any class. He is just a pathetic fool that hs gone from being a "birther" to exposing himself as another run of the mill a racist pig.

[Saturday]

34. awwwww, poor baby. nt

[johnnie]

36. Sorry Don

People have been making fun of you well before they even ever heard the name Obama.
