Trump On Occupy Wall Street Movement: ‘Nobody Knows Why They’re Protesting’
By Tanya Somanader on Oct 5, 2011 at 10:10 am

Media-attention mogul and real estate tycoon Donald Trump joined the hosts at Fox & Friends to offer more of his thoughtful perspective on the Occupy Wall Street movement. “I think they’re very well-dressed,” he quipped, marveling one of the protesters “beautiful suits.” “Nobody knows why they’re protesting, but they’re having a good time,” he insisted.

Host Gretchen Carlson wondered whether “we’re all supposed to assume they’re unemployed,” to which Trump replied, “They don’t look unemployed. Some of them really don’t look unemployed. And their parents look like they really probably work on Wall Street.” Watch it:

I would say he's just another tool but unfortunately I can believe that he is that ignorant of why people are protesting. Worthy of airing on FAUX!

1. Nobody knows why anybody listens to Trump

No surprise that the would-be patenter of "you're fired!" doesn't get it. :puke:

[gratuitous]

8. Well, the program was Fox & Friends

So, consider the platform. As to why anyone would think T Rump would have any special insights on this, I'm at a loss myself. But I'm glad to see that he was able to get his clueless message out there, so that when the tide rolls in we don't have to concern ourselves with whether there's anything worth sparing in T Rump. There isn't.

2. Yes, it does take the Donald awhile to get with it. Of course

they know why they are protesting, and at every opportunity they are stating it well.

I'm wondering why he never had anything to say about the idiocy of the tea partiers? The Donald is always spouting off and I doubt many care what he's saying on any given day, funny how the GOP keeps looking for his approval, so telling.

4. “beautiful suits.” And their parents look like they really probably work on Wall Street.”

So it sounds like their spin is changing from "DFH" to rich malcontents. :eyes:

[mother earth]

17. Yeah, it changes with the wind, they are jealous!

The donald couldn't have this kind of success if he tried...this isn't Faux propaganda...all walks of life united, the 99%. No phoney polls, no BS, and it's ongoing & growing! Lovin it.

6. The cooties probably have "teeny teeny tiny" batons and pepper spray

:evilgrin:

[EFerrari]

10. LOL

[mod mom]

11. um, my guess it's Trump himself who has a teeny teeny tiny baton!

;)

5. Trump is one of the 'job creaters' that the republicans

want to protect and all he does is fire people

7. Trump gets the "Let them eat cake" award

better improve your security, Trump. I hear you are on the menu long before the dessert.

9. I'm sure the union camera people enjoy having to tape these fucking halfwits. nt

12. For a guy that was bailed out by Ronald Reagan in the 80s.

Dump Truck has a lot of guts to be complaining about anyone! DT was BROKE ie had NO MONEY until the Repukes gave him $800 million dollars! That's right Dump Truck is a freeloading welfare king! Funny how it was okay for him to get bailed out. Not really.

[TBF]

13. Looks can be deceiving Mr. Trump. For instance, you almost look sane.

And you haven't figured out why we're protesting I'm sure it will become clearer to you as this progresses.

[FarLeftFist]

14. THEY WILL TRY TO DEMORALIZE YOU.

[Missy Vixen]

15. His intellect is dizzying, is it not?

I prefer to think of him as the late, lamented SPY Magazine did: A short-fingered vulgarian.

Every time I hear anything he has to say, I'm reminded of the quotation re: Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.

:eyes:

16. They are just being willfully misleading

they can read the signs, they KNOW what it's all about...they just are being obstructionists, don't want people who aren't there joining in. THEY KNOW that if the rest of the viewing public knew what was going on, they'd be there with OWS, so they are just trying to dismiss it.

What's with the Rhodes Scholar/Nobel Prize reference?
