Het was hem opgevallen dat veel andere kandidaten zijn (potentiële) campagneslogan ook gebruiken. Dus heeft hij hem als eigen merk geregistreerd en kan hij gebruikers straks aanklagen. Overigens gebruikte Reagan de slogan in 1980 ook al.quote:“I’ve actually trademarked it. I mean, I get tremendous raves for that line. [...] I could come up with different lines. You would think they would come up with their own. That is my whole theme.”
Dat is niet de eerste (of vast laatste) keer. In 2011 zei hij al eens:quote:“I’m the most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far. Nobody’s ever been more successful than me. I’m the most successful person ever to run. Ross Perot isn’t successful like me. Romney - I have a Gucci store that’s worth more than Romney.”
“Why aren’t they rich?”quote:“Part of the beauty of me is that I’m very rich. So if I need $600 million, I can put $600 million myself. That’s a huge advantage over the other candidates.”
“They cost me a fortune”quote:“With very successful people, we sort of have our own ideas. A lot of people hire consultants. Well, if the consultant’s so smart, why aren’t they rich?”

Businessman directs wrath at Mexico, which he accuses of ‘bringing their worst people’ to America, including criminals and ‘rapists’
Donald Trump, the 69-year-old businessman best known for his “You’re fired” catchphrase on The Apprentice, announced he was running for president on Tuesday with an eccentric speech attacking Mexican immigrants and promising to build a great wall along the US’s southern border.
“Sadly the American dream is dead, but if I get elected president I will bring it back,” he said. “Bigger, better and stronger than ever before.”
Trump took to the stage as speakers bellowed out Neil Young’s 1989 song Rockin’ in the Free World, and went on to attack most of the rest of the world as he blamed Barack Obama for letting the country collapse to the level of “a third world country”.
Most of his wrath was directed at Mexico, which he accused of “bringing their worst people” to America, including criminals and “rapists”.
“They’re sending us not the right people,” he said, adding: “The US has become a dumping ground for everyone else’s problems.
“They’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing their problems,” he said. “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some I assume are good people but I speak to border guards and they tell us what we are getting.”
He promised that as President Trump, one of his first actions would be to build a “great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall”.
Trump said that Obama, and previous administrations, had allowed Mexico, China and other countries to take American jobs and prosperity. “China has our jobs, Mexico has our jobs,” he said.
“Our enemies are getting stronger and stronger by the day, and the US as a country is getting weaker and weaker. How stupid are our leaders, how stupid are our politicians to let this happen? Our president doesn’t have a clue.”
Trump said the Chinese leadership was much smarter than Obama and his team. “It’s like the New England Patriots and Tom Brady [playing] a high school team.”
He added: “Politicians are all talk and no action. They will not bring us, believe me, to the promised land.”
He also called for a radical reduction on education spending, saying “people are tired of spending more money on education per capita than any other country”.
He accused Republican rival Jeb Bush of being weak on education, saying: “How the hell can you vote for this guy?”
Trump also pledged that “nobody will be tougher on Isis than Donald Trump”, and that he would be “the greatest jobs president that God ever made”.
He told the crowd not to believe government statistics showing unemployment had fallen to 5.4%. “Our real unemployment is 18-20%, don’t believe their 5.6% [in fact the official figure is 5.4%]. China has our jobs, Mexico has our jobs. I’ll bring back our jobs and bring back our money.”
As required by campaign finance law, Trump revealed his net worth before a crowd holding what looked like homemade Trump for president banners which were actually handed out by Trump campaign staff. “I don’t need anyone else’s money, I’m really rich,”he said. “I have total net worth of $8.73bn. I’m not doing that to brag. I’m doing that to show that’s the kind of thinking or country needs.”

Zou me inderdaad niks verbazen dat ze Trump daarvoor hebben betaald. Om dat te bewerkstelligen.quote:Op dinsdag 16 juni 2015 22:21 schreef Xylos het volgende:
Puur strategie, zet een nog grotere idioot tegenover Bush en des te meer republikeinen gaan er op Bush stemmen.
Ja Trump heeft het geld wel nodig inderdaad, logisch dat hij zich daarvoor laat gebruiken/misbruiken.quote:Op dinsdag 16 juni 2015 23:52 schreef Carlos93 het volgende:

De grote vraag is natuurlijk; hoe oorlogszuchtig is hij?
Blijft gewoon een enorme aandachtshoer natuurlijk. Een serieuze kandidaat zal het nooit zijn.quote:Op woensdag 17 juni 2015 21:04 schreef MakkieR het volgende:
Die man stelt zich elke keer kandidaat voor het presidentschap. Waarschijnlijk verveelt hij zich en weet hij niet wat ie met al dat geld moet doen.
