Trump to receive local GOP award ahead of party convention
CNN — Business mogul Donald Trump will be recognized as the 2012 Statesman of the Year by the Sarasota, Florida, Republican Party the day before the Republican National Convention opens in Tampa next month.
Tickets for the August 26 dinner go as high as $1,000 per person, which include a private meet-and-greet with Trump, according to an invitation flyer for the event.
and all obama got was a lousy nobel prize!
considering the timing, to my nose this smells like a tea party protest vote against mitt "severely conservative" romney.
oh, how they must hate willard, to bestow the title "statesman of the year" to one of the crudest self-absorbed jackasses on the planet, whose conservative cred rests entirely on his birther card. but then again, the pickin's are pretty slim in today's gop.
and if, in accepting the award, trump might be endorsing this little flip o' the bird to the man he's endorsing for president ... well, whattayagonnadoo about it, mitt?
heh, i thought so.
