Donald Trump Curses, Says Our Leaders Are 'Stupid' (VIDEO)

Donald Trump Las Vegas Speech

First Posted: 04/29/11 02:22 AM ET Updated: 06/28/11 06:12 AM ET

Potential presidential candidate Donald Trump made colorful and eyebrow-raising remarks while speaking at the Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas on Thursday night.

He reportedly called the United States "not a great country" and cursed multiple times during his speech. The AP reports:

In one of his many curse-bombs, Trump lamented the nation's focus on building schools in war-torn Afghanistan, while neglecting education in the United States.

He said he would not help struggling nations such as South Korea or Libya without payment and promised to use swear words while negotiating with China.

"I'm not interested in protecting none of them unless they pay," he said.

A frequent critic of the federal health care law passed last year, Trump said the Supreme Court should decide the dozens of lawsuits challenging the legislation and urged district courts not to waste their time on it.

"Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people," suggested Trump in taking issue with President Barack Obama's handling of foreign policy issues related to Libya, Iraq, China and Afghanistan. "It's just very, very sad."

According to the Las Vegas Sun, he asserted, “When people are screwing you, you don’t give them state dinners.” Rather, he said, McDonald’s should be served up instead.

Later in his remarks, the billionaire and real estate mogul reportedly said, "There is a really good chance that I won't win because of one of these blood-sucking politicians."

According to the Associated Press, the "lavish" event had an open bar and drew more than 1000 people. It was hosted by two Republican women's groups.

As for whether Trump is any closer to making a decision on whether or not he plans to run for president in 2012, the possible contender declined to confirm one way or the other on Thursday night. However, when one woman at the event shouted "run for president," the billionaire reportedly responded, "I think I am going to make you very happy on that."

The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that Trump signaled he could be expected to decide on his plans for 2012 by June 1. "I've never done this before and who knows what will happen," he said.

Below, a clip of the speech Trump delivered on Thursday night.

Dear Trump, Taitz, and the new "Scripter" breed of conspiracy theorist,

We all get it wrong, and often.  Despite trying to always be accurate, I still end up having to apologize on this site for errors.  The worst is when I'm belligerent and snarky on top of being wrong.  It's a kick to the ego, but it gets easier the more you do it.

Reasonable people won't think you're weak or  Read More...

At least 80% of the Fortune 500 companies in the US outsource jobs to China (and other countries) where wages/costs are lower. Blame these companies first before you blame others.

Don't tell me none of Trump's franchised items are manufactured in China or overseas.

At least we don't have to worry about Donald hiding his true feelings to manipulate the people. He says it like it is. Refreshing!

Well, I think we need laws to bleep the internet from verbal abuse. I read that is a crime. I liked him for being corny and nerdy with chosing words that mean the same thing...He's changing. I'd like him to write a new Bill for his favorite senator to submit into law, and test his abilities. I would advise him to change ..God where do I begin.?

Seems to me Planetta deserves praise from the italo american community which is for my opinion the backbone of american construction. Pakistan recently complained having to many CIA agents
in their country and I knew they were not there to playbase ball. Now 15 days later Leon is the top dog and the Pentagon all the best to him and for the future security of all. As for my comment on the dog runner Bob well the past has its way to see justice made maybe you can give him a big kick in the nuts as he gets of the elevator to and turn around to see door closed.

You all can bad mouth this guy all ya want, but hey how much worse can he do than Bush or Obama have done so far??? I suppose I would vote for him since all politicians are nothing but millionaire liars, crooks and thieves and will screw people any way they can!!! They all will say whatever they think we want to hear just to get our vote so in a strange way I think that we are really the stupid people in this country and the politicians are the smart ones... they prey on our stupidity @ eveery single election year!!!! Like it or not its the truth!!!

Hey Trump you know what they will say in Italy about you?

Sir you got a wrong building!

I do not believe Americans needs you
you just want to put some bread in the soup
Obama is the president on USA and should be respected for his position
maybe new president will come along and I hope it wont be you
you know why? I do not like you!
I would prefer a decent educate man
that know how to talk
Kind Regards
a citizen of the world
ciao

Ah yes, the "blood-sucking politicians."
Surely, THAT is the reason you will not win election to political office.

Our leader, President Barack Hussein Obama just played in the biggest game of all and he LED the team the killed Osama Bin Laden today, May 1, 2011. You say our leaders are stupid? You're not competent enough to make that judgement. You're fired, Trump!

Interesting what kind of trashy people cheer a trashy mouth. If that kind of people and leadership ever come to prominence in this country, we have truly degraded ourselves before the world.

What a funny coincidence that Trump is calling our leaders "Stupid" shortly after the operation against Bin Laden succeeded.
