Trump to Condi: You're "Fired"
You know, Donald Trump is a brilliant businessman, and many of us find his public feud with Rosie O'Donnell to be amusing. But now he's passing judgment on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and that's just ridiculous.
Donald Trump says in an interview set to air tonight that Rice seems like a nice person, but when it comes to her role as the nation's chief negotiator, he'd like to use his trademark line on her: "You're fired."
Americans "want someone that knows how to negotiate, that knows the art of the deal," he said in an interview on FOX News Channel's "Hannity's America."
"In all fairness, I see Condoleezza Rice - she goes on a plane, she gets off a plane, she waves, she goes there to meet some dictator. ... They talk, she leaves, she waves, the plane takes off. Nothing happens, it's a joke, nothing ever happens. I think she's a very nice woman, but I don't want a nice woman. I want someone that's not necessarily nice."
In all fairness, The Donald is not in on the meetings with Dr. Rice, so how does he know what's going on? And I dare say negotiating with "dictators" is different than negotiating with fellow businessmen.
Unless he's looking to fill the position himself, Trump should stick to baiting other loudmouthed celebrities.
On a tip from Cookiewrangler.
