Real estate developer Donald Trump unleashed a tirade of profanity in a speech at a boisterous Las Vegas casino as he assured a crowd of adoring supporters Thursday night that he is seriously weighing a presidential run and will make a decision soon.
During a 30-minute stump speech focused mostly on foreign affairs, Trump sprinkled in a number of insults directed toward the nation's leaders.
"Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people," he said. "It's just very, very sad."

Wonkette has quotes.
The military’s adventures overseas:
“We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can’t get a fucking school in Brooklyn.”
OPEC:
“We have nobody in Washington that sits back and said, you’re not going to raise that fucking price.”
China:
“Listen, you motherfuckers, we’re going to tax you 25 percent!”
Now on the military he's got a point, that we're spending a lot of money building stuff in Afghanistan and Iraq while we have needs here.
On OPEC - you're going to dictate the price for oil set by OPEC? First - how? Threaten to nuke all 12 member countries? Second - isn't that Socialism, when the government sets the price of a product?
On China - something tells me that you would find a 25% tariff on imported Chinese goods might lead to some push back from the Waltons. And I don't mean John-boy.
But imagine, for just a moment, if Barack Obama had given this speech. Can you imagine the pearl clutching of the punditry if the POTUS dropped 3 f-bombs in a speech? Or if Michele Obama did? Or even Joe Biden?
Once again, IOKIYR. But also, I think it is a measure of how unserious the media views the Trump Circus Barker show as being.
And finally - is it possible that The Donald is losing his cool? The long form birth certificate allowed Barack Obama to very effectively make a fool of Donald Trump. It has to hurt that one of "the blacks" just demonstrated he's smarter than Trump. I do not recall any other poll-leading candidate in recent years throwing profanity about like confetti. And notice how Trump makes an issue of how "stupid" all our "leaders" are? His massive insecurity is getting the better of him, again.
And to add to his woes, the NY Daily News reports that The Donald avoided service in Vietnam via a medical deferment. But he lied and said he had a high draft number.
The records indicate Trump was granted a series of student deferments before graduating from college, and then was deemed physically unacceptable for military service after he graduated.
The paperwork, obtained from the National Archives and Records Administration by thesmokinggun.com website, contradict what Trump has publicly said in recent days.
Things are just not looking good for The Donald.
