Donald Trump endorses Mitt Romney

First Donald Trump came to bury Mitt Romney, but yesterday he came to praise him. It was a remarkable turn around for Trump, who hasn't always been a fan of Romney's.

Prior to closing in on the GOP presidential nomination, real estate mogul and 'Celebrity Apprentice' host Trump enjoyed trash talking Romney on national television every chance he got.

'I wasn't in love with the job he did in Massachusetts,' Trump told Greta Van Susteren of Fox News in August. 'He wasn't popular. He was a one-term governor...and the Romneycare was obviously not a good situation.'

Trump has also famously called Romney a 'small business guy' in comparison to himself on CNN's 'State of the Union.'

'He walked away with some money from a very good company that he didn't create,' Trump said. 'My net worth is many, many, many times Mitt Romney,' he continued, relishing the chance to compare his fortune with Romney's.

To morons getting together to see how they can ruin the world. So sad that these two clowns are even thought about for the race to the Presidency. Both of them put together couldn't lace Obama's shoes, but like some one posted earlier that bodes well for Obama.

Trump certainly won't help Romney. The whole field of Republicans are big-time losers. Obama, thank goodness, will be a shoo-in.

I am tired of politicians talking out of both sides of their mouth. It depends on who they are talking to so how can we believe anything they say. Trump versus Romney is a good example. Another one is when Santorom ? was asked at one of the debates who he admired and he said Newt had helped him and was a great example for him and what a wonderful person he was. Now he is out there trying to steal votes away from Newt trashing him everywhere he goes. So how can we believe anything these people say. In the end I will hold my nose and vote for anybody but Obama.

I certainly wouldn't want Trump's support if I were Romney. He's an arrogant SOB who also doesn't care about poor people. Romney has Palin's support and that of Trump, now if Bachman and that other whack job from Delaware, Christine O'Donnell would get behind him, Obama should sail back in.

Trump just wants to be seen as a "good" Republican among the big money Republican boys, most of whom back Romney. He also wants to be in a position to say, if Romney loses, "See, I told you so, you should have nominated me."

Trump is such a complete and utter muppet! The very sight of him could drive any candidates scores into the ground - associating with him is like kissing your chances goodbye - no self respecting citizen is going to vote for anyone on Trumps support - noone gives a rats ass what he thinks or that other muppet in Alaska - herself (Palin) and himself (Trump) should just sit by the sea in Alaska and watch "them there Russians over there" watching two prize puffins talking a load of wind!!!!

Donald Trump is a Class A Arse, He brings bufoonery to an art form. He does have a lot of cash which makes his beautiful wife.overlook his fat ass and weird hair and Romney to overlook his erratic & bizarre behavior. Without his money who would even deal with his idiot.
