White House: Trump's Statement "Disqualifies" Him

[Tekeristan]

Wish it actually did.

[GreatestBanks]

At least the statement will give Trump more fuel to get people to support him. "I'm the president the establishment doesn't want!" Has a nice ring.

Eh. At the end of the day you can't stump the Trump, and that's not about to change.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN?

[Esternial]

If anything it might make people vote for him more.

Especially those of anti-government persuasion.

[Grinning Dragon]

Well, that'd be limiting political freedoms, so I doubt it.

At least the statement will give Trump more fuel to get people to support him. "I'm the president the establishment doesn't want!" Has a nice ring.

Look it basically will boil down to, "trump said naughty things, this clearly means he's disqualified", trump, "fuck what the current admin thinks."
Ultimately, it will be the people who will decide if trump is worthy or not, not the whitehouse.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN?

Yes sir.

At least, according to him.

Personally I don't think he'd be the best president. His lack of a filter that has garnered him such a reputation would only hurt foreign relations.

He'd be a sight better than certain alternatives, however.

[Politicoandrous Anthronegative Proplex]

bullshit

obama's just scurred that his post-presidency government is going to shatter

[Ashmoria]

Its just an opinionated statement released by the talking head for the whitehouse.

Wouldn't it be possible for the White House to write off a workaround to get him disqualified, though? Or am I just sad Trump's not getting disqualified?

the white house has no authority over who can run in the republican primaries or who is on the ballot in the various states or who the electoral college casts vote for.

Well, I doubt that congress will let Trump act out many of the things he wants done, at least. I hope.

Obama has been so bad, bush II has been so bad. The country has been destroyed under those two, it cannot get worse with trump

[Patridam]

I wasn't sure if this belonged in the Republican Primaries Megathread or if someone's already posted about it, but this seems to be an interesting development.

So according to the White House, Trump's recent statement about banning all Muslims from entering the country disqualifies him from running for the presidency, citing it as violating the oath every president must make. However, the White House hasn't officially banned him from running, as his campaign still seems to be in full speed. But say he were to get enough votes and won, then what? I'm not exactly sure, but the White House's statement seems like it'd be a pretty heavy blow to Trump support. What do you think, NSG? Is this the end to Trump's run?

The sphere of people who listen to the obama administration and care what they think and the group of people who support candidate trump have little to no overlap. I don't think the white house statement is going to hurt his campaign any more than he already has by defending his statement.

[Geilinor]

I hope Republicans give Trump the beating at the polls he deserves. Carson fizzled out after saying dumb shit. Why not the Donald?

Because he's going to make America great again.

Is this the same guy who said France is a more important ally to the USA then the UK?
I think the whitehouse need to vet their employees better.

I'd certainly say that disqualifies him. After all, the president is supposed to be the nation's representative, and must therefore be tolerant of all races and religions. Just because he believes Muslims are some sort of threat (which most of them aren't), doesn't mean he can ban all of them. His idiotic border control policies were one thing, but this is the final straw.

Will the White House ban him? No.


Should they? In my opinion, yes. He's a radical capitalist.

[The Texan Union]

Wanna bet?

Yes. I'll bet.

You'll lose. The country can only get worse. Look at it this way:

Republicans get their votes from idiots and Christians.
Democrats get their votes from minorities and Atheists.

Republicans have to keep up racial tensions in order to appear on the idiots' side.
Democrats have to keep up racial tensions in order to appear on the black people's side.
Christians and Atheists just hop onto the respective bandwagons.

Unfortunately, politics are more important than the actual well-being of our nation. Corruption and greed are the only things ruling America.

The White House does not have any authority to prevent Trump from campaigning. I hope he wins and I would in fact ride in the Trump copter.

I sincerely hope this is sarcasm.

If not, then...I almost feel sorry for you. If Trump wins, and actually (somehow) did everything he wants to, we'd turn into some semi-feudal society where the rich rule everything, whites and Christians are privileged, and our debt would go through the fucking roof trying to pursue ridiculously unrealistic plans, like huge walls along Mexico and a Muslim database.

[The Liberated Territories]

This White House guy is a hypocrite. Obama has violated the constitution hundreds of times (NSA warrantless wiretapping, NDAA, Unauthroized editing of obamacare, arguably Obamacare itself)
Obama should be disqualified.
And what about Clinton? She is arguably a felon, she should have jail time

Agreed. I heard she also has connections to ISIS.

Yeah, well through the fucking sky. You get my point. Seriously, his plans would add 12 trillion dollars to our budget deficit according to tax experts.
