    I'm a massive supporter of Trump, despite him not being massively popular here. The funny thing is that he's more willing to speak about European issues than most European politicians themselves. I'd be willing to become a 51st state if Trump wins the presidential election.

    I would imagine there are a lot of far-right guys in Germany that think Trump is awesome. Hail Drumpf.

    But seriously, Europe is having an immigration problem right, and Trump has used latino immigration as the springboard for his candidacy, there are bound to be a lot of Europeans who would agree with his overall opinions about borders.

    And of course there are a lot of people who are already picking up on the similarities of Trump to Hitler, so that probably plays very well to a small segment of Europe.

    I am an outsider who does not support Donald Trump's ideas, he advocates a kind of resentment to a certain ethnicity, which is now brewing a mini firestorm. Trump should understand that many of these persons have made a positive contribution to the American society, so this should be taken into consideration when he is going to rate these people as personna non grata.

    I love Trump. The man found a huge segment of the American voter, and is giving them exactly what they want. It's also entertaining to watch.
    The whole Hitler comparison is just silly, people love to throw "Hitler" and "Nazi" all the time these days.
    If you wade through the BS, you will see Trump is actually more centrist then the other GOP front-runners.
    He's turned his campaign into a spectacle and the Yankee's are eating it up. In a place where more people vote on American Idol then on the American Election, Trump knows what the people want and is giving it to them.

    I also like how he is an "outsider" he's not some career bureaucrat.

    I can't say I am a supporter of Donald Trump because I am not an American voter. But since he is the most popular in the field, I guess I would say I am for Trump. And with the way things are going in the Republican nomination, it looks like Trump will bring home the bacon. And if it is a square fight between Trump and Hillary Clinton then I guess Trump will have an edge somehow because of his popularity and also considering the negativity of Hillary on the issue of email server. Well, November is still far away and people are already so excited.

    I still question his motives, and feel as if people are playing into his hands for them at times. He saw a need to be filled which was created out of manufactured events, then instantly went forth to be the figurehead for them and correct them to be what the people wanted on short notice. All that is well and good, except for the fact that he was a longtime democrat before he ran as a republican to do all of this. Then, there's that little fact that he said if he ever ran for office, he would still be a democrat but switch parties to run as a republican because he would have the best chances to win the votes needed for office if he did...

    As a European, I think Trump has some really good points. But he takes it all over the top. It's not "lets stop illegal immigration" it's "LETS THROW EVERYONE OUT!". I do appreciate how straightforward he is in many things but in my opinion he is too extreme and quite frankly, seems to be too stupid to actually be allowed to be the president of one of the most powerful countries in the world.

    While I support some of his ideas, I certainly don't want to see him become the president.

    He's not stupid though. He knows exactly what he is doing. I doubt he will build that wall and I doubt he will toss out every illegal immigrant. I mean most (if not all) politicians make up lies when campaigning, they never do what they say they will do Donald is know different.
    He's pandering to a very large segment of the American population. He's much more savvy and much smarter then anyone is giving him credit for.
    He basically observed what would be an "untapped political market" and tapped right into it. He knows what these people want to hear and what they want in a leader.

    I'm not the least bit worried if he gets elected. I mean they handled Bush for TWO terms, I am sure Trump can't do worst then that bozo.

    I'm not going to claim that I know enough about the man to say if I'm a supporter or not to be honest. I've heard some of his statements and I've agreed with him, but on other times I've thought he's a bit of an idiot.

    What he as done is stir up American politics though, and I don't think anyone can deny that it didn't need it.

    Why not, this is the core of his campaign, if he doesn't do this then his term in office will be brought to an end after 4 years. It's not a difficult task, so I don't see why he won't do it. Even if he didn't want to do it (I'm sure he does) he would still have to do it, because he built his political career around the wall.
