Eccentric real estate tycoon and outsider Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday absolutely tore into President Barack Obama on Monday night’s edition of the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News, taking aim at Obama for throwing a state dinner for Chinese Communist Chairman Xi Jinping. “I would not be throwing Xi Jinping a dinner. I would get him a McDonald’s hamburger and say ‘we have to get down to work.’ We’re giving him a state dinner and what he has done is sucked all of our jobs,” said the colorful Trump, who is unlikely to ever be seen as a serious contender for the GOP nomination given the field that includes titans like Jeb! Bush, iron-willed Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and South Carolinian Lindsey Graham, a 61 year-old Senate GOP firebrand whose boundless energy and animated style makes it seem like he’ll live to be 115.
O’Reilly, whose show similarly feels as if it’ll still be airing on Fox News for as long as his heart’s pumping, was plainly impressed with the mercurial and flamboyant Trump, who announced his presidential bid two months ago to a crowd of supporters who some Republican detractors alleged were paid $50 each to cheer him on from the lobby of the Trump Tower. It does seem that Trump is command of the message, that in some weird, wacky future timeline where he were in the Oval Office it would no longer be politics or diplomacy as usual, that he would serve Xi a McDonald’s burger – saving the lobster for NCAA athletes – and take him to task for decades of hollowing out of America’s manufacturing workforce. Regular Americans have had enough of old, out-of-touch politicians obsessed with their “legacies” and only stop long enough to roll out the red carpet for a murderous dictator. They want to be able to tune out politics, kick back, relax, watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the rest of the new trilogy, and live their lives in peace and prosperity.
