Trump Exposed Corruption Of The US Political System
GOP 2016 Debate
"Most of the people on this stage I've given to, just so you understand, a
lot of money. . . I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And do you
know what? When I need something from them two years later, three years
later, I call them, they are there for me. And that's a broken system."
Last night's FOX News GOP Presidential Debate Extravaganza featured the most
riveting two minute political exchange ever heard on national television.
During a brief colloquy between Republican frontrunner Donald Trump and Fox
moderator Brett Baier, the pugnacious casino magnate revealed the appalling
truth about the American political system, that the big money guys like
Trump own the whole crooked contraption lock, stock, and barrel, and that,
the nation's fake political leaders do whatever they're told to do. Without
question, it was most illuminating commentary to ever cross the airwaves.
Here's the entire exchange direct from the transcript:
block quote
FOX News Brett Baier (talking to Trump): Now, 15 years ago, you called
yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a
Canadian-style system. Why were you for that then and why aren't you for it
now?
TRUMP: As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well
in Scotland. It could have worked in a different age, which is the age
you're talking about here.
What I'd like to see is a private system without the artificial lines around
every state. I have a big company with thousands and thousands of employees.
And if I'm negotiating in New York or in New Jersey or in California, I have
like one bidder. Nobody can bid.
You know why?
Because the insurance companies are making a fortune because they have
control of the politicians, of course, with the exception of the politicians
on this stage. (uneasy laughter) But they have total control of the
politicians. They're making a fortune.
Get rid of the artificial lines and you will have.yourself great plans.
BAIER: Mr. Trump, it's not just your past support for single-payer health
care. You've also supported a host of other liberal policies..You've also
donated to several Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton included, and
Nancy Pelosi. You explained away those donations saying you did that to get
business-related favors. And you said recently, quote, "When you give, they
do whatever the hell you want them to do."
TRUMP: You'd better believe it.
BAIER: - they do?
TRUMP: If I ask them, if I need them, you know, most of the people on this
stage I've given to, just so you understand, a lot of money.
TRUMP: I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people,
before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to
everybody. When they call, I give. And do you know what? When I need
something from them two years later, three years later, I call them, they
are there for me. And that's a broken system.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What did you get from Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi?
TRUMP: Well, I'll tell you what, with Hillary Clinton, I said be at my
wedding and she came to my wedding. You know why?
She didn't have a choice because I gave. I gave to a foundation that,
frankly, that foundation is supposed to do good. I didn't know her money
would be used on private jets going all over the world. It was.
BAIER: Hold on...We're going to - we're going to move on." (Transcript: Read

There it is, two glorious minutes of pure, unalloyed truth on national
television. How often does that happen?
How often does a fatcat billionaire-insider appear on TV and announce that
the whole system is a big-fat scam run by crooks and patsies?
trumpdebate
Never, that's when. But that's what Trump did last night. And that's why the
clatter of ruthless miscreants who run the system behind the smokescreen of
fake politicians are sharpening their knives right now before Manhattan's
rogue elephant does even more damage to their precious system.
Just think about what the man said. He not only explained that the whole
system is rigged (Baier: "And when you give, they do whatever the hell you
want them to do.".TRUMP: "You'd better believe it."), he also said that the
politicians will do whatever they're told to do. (TRUMP: Well, .with
Hillary Clinton, I said be at my wedding and she came to my wedding. You
know why? She didn't have a choice because I gave.")
Doesn't that confirm your darkest suspicions about the way the system really
works, that money talks and that elections are just a way to get the sheeple
to rubber-stamp a corrupt, fraudulent system?
Of course, it does.
So, let's summarize: Moneybags capitalist loudmouth explains to 80 million
dumbfounded Americans watching prime time TV, that the system is a total
fraud, that the big money runs everything, and that even he thinks the
system is broken.
How do you beat that? Seriously, my wife and I were laughing and high-fiving
and like we just won the lottery.
Thanks for that, Don. We owe you one.
