The @WSJ Wall Street Journal loves to write badly about me. They better be careful or I will unleash big time on them. Look forward to it!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 31, 2015
Anthony Bourdain: ‘Every Restaurant In America Would Shut Down’ If Donald Trump Were President

| Donald Trump |
During an appearance on Sirius XM this week, CNN host and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain said America’s restaurant industry would collapse if Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump actually got the chance to enact his proposed deportation of undocumented immigrants.
“If Mr. Trump deports 11 million people or whatever he is talking about right now, every restaurant in America would shut down,” he told host Pete Dominick on Sirius XM’s “Stand Up!” on Wednesday.
“Like a lot of other white kids, I rolled out of a prestigious culinary institute and went to work in real restaurants,” Bourdain said.
“Walking into restaurants, the person who had been there the longest and took the time to show me how it was done was always Mexican or Central American,” he added.“[They are] the backbone of the industry.”
Bourdain cited his 30 years in the culinary industry and time as a restaurant executive.
“Twenty of those years, I was a manager and employer,” he said. “Never in any of those years, not once, did any American-born kid walk into my restaurant and say, ‘I’d like a job as a night porter or a dishwasher or even a prep cook.’
A Third Poll Shows Ben Carson Leading Trump In Iowa
Retired Ben Carson now tops a third poll in Iowa as Donald Trump’s once dominant lead has evaporated.
A new poll via Monmouth University shows Carson during to a 14 point lead at 32% while The Donald falls 5 points from last month’s poll to only 18% support.
The new survey shows Carson with the highest favorability ratings in the current field of GOP contenders with 84% approval. Trump clocks in with only 53% favorability. While that’s virtually unchanged over the month, his unfavorability rating has gone up by 5 points.
This is now the third recent poll to show Carson with a healthy lead over the field in the Hawkeye State.
A Des Moines Register-Bloomberg poll released last week showed Carson with a 9 point lead, which led Trump to call the Register “crummy, third-rate newspaper.”
Plus, the most recent Quinnipiac University survey show Carson ahead by 8.
Ford Motor Company Announces Donald Trump Had Nothing To Do With Factory Plans
Word is that Ford Motor, because of my constant badgering at packed events, is going to cancel their deal to go to Mexico and stay in U.S.

Do you think I will get credit for keeping Ford in U.S. Who cares, my supporters know the truth. Think what can be done as president!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 25, 2015
Ford Motor Company has issued a press statement debunking the myth Donald Trump has begun spreading in his stump speeches where he “takes credit” for Ford changing plans about building a plant in Mexico.
“Ford has not spoken with Mr. Trump, nor have we made any changes to our plans.
“We decided to move the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks to Ohio Assembly in 2011, long before any candidates announced their intention to run for U.S. President.
“We are proud that Ford has invested $10.2 billion in our U.S. plants since 2011 and hired nearly 25,000 U.S. employees.
“Overall, more than 80 percent of our North American investment annually is in the U.S., and 97 percent of our North American engineering is conducted in the U.S.”
Campaign Ad: A Republican Salute To Hillary Clinton
Current GOP nominees praise Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton.
Emphatically.
Oh – of course, this was all before she began to run for prez.
How quickly they turn.
Very effective ad in that it literally uses their own words (Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Donald Trump) from not long ago.
Homerun.
Donald Trump Would Eliminate Dept Of Education and Environmental Protections
Appearing on Fox News’ “Fox News Sunday,” Donald Trump goes over a litany of controversial things he’s said on the campaign trail: eliminating the Department of Education, eliminating environmental protections, putting the responsibility of 9/11 on George W. Bush and more.
Wallace: “Would you cut services? Would you cut departments?”
Trump: “No, I’m not cutting services, but I’m cutting spending. But I may cut Department of Education. I believe Common Core is a very bad thing. I believe that we should be — you know, educating our children from Iowa, from New Hampshire, from South Carolina, from California, from New York. I think that it should be local education. So the Department of Education is one. Environmental Protection, what they do is a disgrace. Every week they come out with new regulations. They’re making it impossible —”
Wallace: “Who’s going to protect the environment?”
Trump: “We’ll be fine with the environment. We can leave a little bit, but you can’t destroy businesses.”

Donald Trump Goes After Mitt Romney After Romney Says Trump Won’t Be GOP Nominee
.@MittRomney can only speak negatively about my presidential chances because I have been openly hard on his terrible "choke" loss to Obama!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2015
GOP front runner Donald Trump was not happy about comments Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee for president, made on his campaign.
Speaking to Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Romney said he didn’t think Trump would be the GOP nominee. When CNN “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper inquired if Romney would vote for Trump, Romney was vague.
“I would vote for the nominee of the Republican party and I don’t believe that’s going to be Donald Trump,” he said.
And with that came Trump’s Twitter fury….
.@MittRomney and his campaign manager should not be critical of candidates after they blew an election that should never have been lost!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2015
Does everyone remember @MittRomney and his famous remarks about "self-deportation" and "47%". He was done. I don't need his angry advice!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2015
Jeb Bush Attacks Donald Trump On Military Judgement
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush goes after GOP front runner – HARD.
We’ll see if this has any effect on the race.
Via CNN:
The clip is the latest salvo in the Bush-Trump rivalry, which has often been marked by bitter and personal exchanges between the two prominent Republican presidential candidates. On Friday, Trump suggested Bush’s brother, former President George W. Bush, shared in the blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks because they occurred during his presidency.
Saturday’s round centered on a video set to the tune of circus music that highlights comments from Trump that have called into question his grasp of military matters. Many of Trump’s most controversial moments are presented, including his questioning of John McCain’s status as a war hero to his inability to name prominent terrorists.
The clip also points out that Trump — who is shown in the clip claiming that “there’s nobody bigger or better at the military than I am” — received deferments to avoid military service during the Vietnam War. There’s also a snippet of a 2007 interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in which he says Hillary Clinton “would do a good job” negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran.
Donald Trump Goes After Jeb & George Bush On 9/11 Attacks
This little trifle began with an interview Donald Trump did earlier this week with Bloomberg.
Trump said, “When you talk about George Bush – I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time…He was president, OK? … Blame him or don’t blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign.”
And so, the Twitter war began:
How pathetic for @realdonaldtrump to criticize the president for 9/11. We were attacked & my brother kept us safe.
— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) October 16, 2015
.@JebBush, At the debate you said your brother kept us safe- I wanted to be nice & did not mention the WTC came down during his watch, 9/11.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 17, 2015
No @JebBush, you’re pathetic for saying nothing happened during your brother’s term when the World Trade Center was attacked and came down.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 17, 2015
.@JebBush, like it or not, our country needs more energy and spirit than you can provide! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain

Donald Trump Wins In His Debate Demands To CNBC
Yesterday, Carson and Trump informed CNBC in a letter that the length of the debate should be restricted.
A letter from both front runners’ campaign read, “Neither Mr. Trump or Dr. Carson will participate in your debate if it is longer than 120 minutes including commercials and does not include opening and closing statements.”
Trump complained that CNN’s three hour length was “milking” the debate so CNN could sell more ads.
As you can see from Trump’s tweet this morning, CNBC bowed to his wishes.
Other candidates, like Carly Fiorina, pushed for more time saying with 10 candidates it’s hard to get any appreciable exposure.
