Trump gives kids free helicopter rides at Iowa State Fair - Polidicks

[quote]DES MOINES, Iowa -- The main concourse at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on a weekend is always a spectacle with thousands of attendees, but this Saturday Iowans shifted their focus to the skies, where Donald Trump’s helicopter circled overhead. “Is that Donald Trump’s helicopter?” asked one woman as she stood in line to purchase tickets to the fair for herself and her three children. “Yes, you can see it says Trump on it,” replied another. Trump made a grand entrance in a parking lot more than a mile from the fairgrounds, landing his $7 million Sikorsky S-76 helicopter and taking questions from reporters before offering up free rides to youngsters. “We started with smaller venues, but the crowds have gotten bigger and bigger,” he said, responding to a question about his plans on campaigning in living rooms and at house parties -- the strategy most candidates utilize in Iowa. The business-mogul-turned-GOP-presidential-hopeful brushed aside a few questions about specific policy stances. “I don’t think the people care, I think the press do,” Trump said. “I’ve been getting politicians to pass whatever I wanted all of my life. Big New York City zoning deals are probably tougher than most of the things I’d be dealing with, with foreign countries.” After nearly 15 minutes of questions, Trump told the children standing behind him -- who were holding signs and clad in Trump apparel -- it was time for a helicopter ride, drawing cheers. Among them stood 10-year-old Shay Doyle, a fifth-grader from Waverly who is one of Trump’s biggest fans.[/quote] [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-helicopter-iowa-state-fair_55cfca7ee4b055a6dab0915e?kvcommref=mostpopular]Source[/url]

Deals he says he negotiated were actually cut by one of his employees, and the only good move he's made is sell his name for other companies to use.

That's really cool of him, actually.

Yeah, I've always wanted to ride one of those :c

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;48469638]That's really cool of him, actually.[/QUOTE] Not really. Would he do it if he weren't trying to run for president? This is the key question to always ask about things candidates do when running for office.

I wish I had a helicopter with my name on it that can take me wherever I want in a moments notice. He's got two of them actually. And two jets, also.

[QUOTE=draugur;48469798]Not really. Would he do it if he weren't trying to run for president?

Be real now...

that's pretty cool. helicopters are really fun

can't trump the trump

If HIS employee, the person you know, EMPLOYED by TRUMP'S company cuts a deal who do you think the deal is for? The employee? I don't really understand your effort to belittle whatever he is saying but you're doing a really bad job at it.

[QUOTE=draugur;48469798]Not really. Would he do it if he weren't trying to run for president? This is the key question to always ask about things candidates do when running for office.[/QUOTE] fuck that, free helicopter rides i can still vote for whoever i want

Even if his intentions were selfish, he made children happy.

Can't stump the Trump

I wonder if the single black kid in the crowd was allowed on.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;48469820]straight out of a campaign ad[/QUOTE] They decided against [QUOTE]Is it a bird?! Is it a plane?! No, it's Donald Trump in his helicopter.[/QUOTE]

That's a nice thing to do. Doesn't mean he should be made President by any stretch, though.

[QUOTE=draugur;48469798]Not really. Would he do it if he weren't trying to run for president? This is the key question to always ask about things candidates do when running for office.[/QUOTE] it's still cool

Is this the new promotional baby kissing tactic?

This gives me more incentive to not vote for him because as soon as he makes it into office the free heli rides stop.

[QUOTE=draugur;48469798]Not really. Would he do it if he weren't trying to run for president? This is the key question to always ask about things candidates do when running for office.[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter why he's doing it, doesn't change the fact he's doing something nice.

[QUOTE=draugur;48469798]Not really. [B]Would he do it if he weren't trying to run for president?[/B] This is the key question to always ask about things candidates do when running for office.[/QUOTE] No, he wouldn't. He hasn't done anything like that before.

This is one of those things you just smile and not at and go "yah okay". Are the kids having a blast, oh yes they are. Is Trump doing this purely as a photo op yup. Is Trump still a huge Bigot undoubtedly. Let the kids have their fun and vote for someone who doesnt echo the idealogy of Jim Crow south,then will come to understand when they are older.

Trump is a really nice guy though and he does seem to care about people...just not when it comes to business haha. He will swindle you out of 2k, but then pay off your mortgage. (True story)

[QUOTE=Squad1993;48471459]Trump is a really nice guy[/QUOTE] No. Just no. Jesus fuck, only because he let kids into the heli, he is suddenly an "angel" "he didn't do nothin". Why.

Nice guys dont go on multiple racist rants against large demographics that sustain your countries population level via immigration. Also Nice guys arnt racists.

"Okay Mr. Trump, your previous statements have had a rather negative impact on your public image-" "The people who hate me for saying what needs to be said are losers, who cares?" "-Yes sir, but you must understand that there's still very few people who support you-" "But I'm #1 in the poll! Screw those other losers, I have more people behind me than they do!" "Yes sir, but if you compare the support for everyone else compared to those who support you, you're quite out-numbered. And even Bernie Sanders is leaps and bounds ahead-" "That socialist loser? Who cares?!" "The point is sir, you need to try and soften your image a little." "Hmm... You may have a point... *snaps fingers* Got it! I'll give kids a free ride in my chopper! If that doesn't sell 'em on my good and gentle nature, I don't know what will!" "Good idea, sir!" "Nobody asked you, loser!"

This whole election cycle is parodying [I]The Onion[/I]...

[QUOTE=OvB;48469884]He's got two of them actually. And two jets, also.[/QUOTE] If I had Trump's kind of money I wouldn't bother with those fancy Jets I'd go out and buy a MiG-15/21 and fly that bitch where ever the fuck I wanted, nothing like being your own pilot and also being rich.
