"The Donald" is quite possibly one of the most publicity hungry billionaires to ever grace the press. The man loves the spotlight and is a total ham and camera hog.

At the same time the one human being that really loves Donald Trump's opinion is Donald Trump.

Donald has one skill and that is being a "celebrity" with a great deal of money. He has proven numerous times over the past ten years with many statements that his biggest interest is enlarging his own fortunes.

I don't think that an endorsement from Heir Trump is really an asset to anyone and this includes Mitt Romney. Remember that Romney is already being accused of being a member of the "Billionaire Boy's Club" and the more that others with similar financial profiles come out to support him the more likely we get another rerun of Obama. People will begin to smell something wrong.

Trump as an endorsement for anyone is really a liability at this point in time and not an asset. Trump did one of the greatest favors he could have done . . . . . . . for Newt, because at some point Trumps endorsement will be used as a negative by either another Republican or the Democrats should it get that far. . . . .
Trump is no where near a billionaire...............more like a fat fake millionaire.

How exactly is General Motors profitability the result of the President?? Much of it is due to GM's more successful European operation which has been bank rolling the parent company for some time.Industry not politics.
As for the risk of another depression,I won't hold hold your breath on that one,those trillions of debt are still there.

What successful European operation? Opel is bleeding cash and has been for years. The only success GM has had in Europe recently is the (re)introduction of Chevy to the continent. Before that, Chevys were all just re-badge Daewoos and justifiably looked at by the Europeans for what they were.

No, GM's return to profitability rests on the North American market and China. In the US, GM brought small car production back to North America. The new Chevy Sonic is built here and the Cruze is also built here. To be fair, the Cruze replaced the Cobalt that was also built here, but the Lordstown plant now produces Cruzes for global consumption rather than just North American consumption.

The "new" Chevy Cruze has been on sale here in Turkey since 2009 and are real common on the roads. One of my employees has been driving one for two years. It's not bad, but... meh.

The Cruze was designed by Daewoo and engineered by Opel. It's production sites are in Korea, India, Russia, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico and Australia. The Lordstown plant is the most recent production site and started production summer of 2010 and is for local consumption. The Cruze was old news in the rest of the world before it ever hit U.S. roads.

It's had a successful racing program here in Europe since 2009.

Opel's engineering is a key to GM's comeback. They were lucky to have not sold Opel in 2009. The "new" Buick Regal is a re-badge Opel that has been around here for three years and it very popular. It was built in Germany and China since 2008. North American production didn't start in Canada until February 2011.

On topic, Obama's decision to rescue and temporarily take over GM and Chrysler, saved millions of American jobs, and is one reason the unemployment situation in the USA is turning around. Which of course is the worst news possible for the Republicans. Obama is even a better venture capitalist than Romney.

No idea where you getting your statistics from but Vauxhall/Opel have indeed been heavily supporting the parent company,their man in Europe admitted as much on BBC radio a while back (and you can count the number of Chevrolets on one hand almost,they've had terrible reviews.)

The same one where people breathlessly await the next episode of The Bachelor, where Jersey Shore is a giant smash hit, where people happily drink Coors Light, where auto-tune is tolerated....

This would upset me to no end if it wasn't for the fact that almost every western country has some variant of "The Bachelor " or that imbecilic roommate show; that the British are transfixed to "Geordie Shore" and the Irish are passing up their superior lagers for Budweiser. Actually, just because Americans are equally as shallow as the rest of the world doesn't really alleviate the distress.

Thank you , q vee . And lets not ignore the fact that unemployment just dropped to its lowest point in more than 3 years, and the stock market is back up to where it was long before the crash in 2008.
Again , trump is a megalomaniac poster boy for why corporate capitalism has failed america. He is a cartoon character without his own network.

Is that a surprise? FoxFauxFixed News chokes and gags on anything positive for Obama and the democrats. Have you ever checked out Fox Nation - Hot headlines, opinions, and video from around the web ? Here the sky's the limit.

i like this one.

Anchorwoman's Sausage Blooper Spices Up the Morning News - Bloopers - Fox Nation

the comments pretty much sums up their attitude...

Those barbie dolls should be on the streets hustling cause they ain't good for anything else.
