    Why would people look at the moon through a telescope when they can find satellite pictures on the internet ? Why would people watch the action on the court instead of viewing the game on the big screen ?

    I'm not one for creating scenarios and running with them, but let's be reasonable... even if I was being facetious.

    Do you absolutely need a car or helicopter to leave a building? It's almost as if you're suggesting that heavy traffic is enough of an inconvenience for you to remain in a very tall building... at a time when planes are flying into very tall buildings. Yes, I'm a very frequent visitor in New York City, and there isn't any amount of traffic that's going to keep me confined.

    The issue is you are assuming that the Bronx is somehow more safe during a moment like this and easily obtainable. Trump likely just didn't share that sentiment and felt fine where he was. How many towers in NYC ?

    unless you are as rich as trump, you can't criticize his capacity to serve as president.

    Do you think Donald Trump has the vision of an eagle or crow?

    Try it for yourself. Find a flat part of the M3, mark off 2 miles, and see if you can see people on motorbikes from that distance in daylight, or two headlamps at night. If you can't, then get new correction or have your cataracts removed.

    I think he said "successful", not rich.

    No, so Donald would be a bald-faced liar if he said he saw people falling from 4 miles away without magnification. He could maybe have seen chunks of debris falling, but would have been unable to distinguish them as people from that far away unaided by magnification.

    Hmm it was a simply question yet you failed to answer it. I would suggest being more selective on who you call retarded, but that's just my view do as you wish.

    Obama makes stuff up too (if you like your policy, you can keep it comes to mind). Hillary Clinton has been caught repeatedly also (sniper fire). Guys like you cheer.

    Sounds like a meaningful distinction.

    So your net worth isn't 10 billion? THEN YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO CRITICIZE TRUMP. GAME OVER, LIB.

    People don't seem to realize Trump being elected president will not only be the end of Conservatism in America (more specifically social conservatism), but the end of the GOP as we know it.

    It's going to be amusing to see the GOP powers that be do everything in their power to not let this clown and his low IQ right wing supporters single handily destroy the party. It will be amusing to watch indeed.

    He won't be the nominee, imo. The GOP won't allow it.

    - - - Updated - - -

    He panders to a bunch of easily manipulated rubes. He's following in the steps of Nixon and Reagan. Only problem for Trump is that this is 2015, not 1980. The countries demographics have changed substantially. Riling up white voters at the expense of "non whites" doesn't necessarily win elections anymore.

    So we have Trump (and other politicians) making claims we don't know whether to believe and then we have this;
    Anyone else seeing a solution here? :angel:

    I think the underlying message is that he has an apartment with a balcony on a high floor in nyc, and that he's very, extremely rich.

    Maybe Sarah Palin was using Trump's telescope to see Russia...

    I find it much more believable that he used a telescope or binoculars to see people jumping from the twin towers on 9/11 than he saw "thousands and thousands" of American Muslims were celebrating in Jersey City, NJ.

    Why not? Trump is just following in Nixon's path by riling up racist white voters at the expense of "non whites".

    Compared to if you don't vote for me, you'll be labeled a racist, Obama or is it "I'm a woman", Hillary? Talk about easily manipulated rubes=)

    When you're rich you can afford having a pair binoculars so they say.

    I wonder what power Trumps binoculars were ?

    Lets see I have a 10 X 50 MM binoculars in my hands right now.

    OMG !!! Looking at something that's 7,000 yards away it's as if I'm only 2,569 feet away. That would be like 856 yards away, just less than a half of a mile.

    When the moon landing took place, did people go outside to look with their telescopes and binoculars or did they watch it on television?

    The caps lock represents the belligerent stupidity of conservatives.
