Harold Hamm endorses Trump for president

Harold Hamm endorses Trump for president thumbnail

Harold Hamm, chief executive of shale oil producer Continental Resources Inc and Mitt Romney’s 2012 energy adviser, endorsed U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday, saying he has the “fortitude to make tough decisions.”

Hamm, who had previously donated to U.S. Senator Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign, called the real estate mogul a “business leader’s candidate” who has the will to right what he called a series of mistakes from politicians in Washington, including “burdensome government regulations.”

“The next president of the United States must have the courage, determination and intelligence to disrupt politics as usual,” Hamm wrote in a public letter.

“Such an honor to get the endorsement of Harold Hamm, one of the great men in the history of the oil and energy business,” Trump said in a statement to Reuters.

Known for his outspoken views on U.S. energy policy and other matters, Hamm once referred to OPEC leader Saudi Arabia as a “toothless tiger” in the face of growing U.S. oil output.

OPEC and Saudia Arabia eventually proved Hamm wrong by using its influence to keep prices low for more than 18 months and counting, exerting sharp pain on U.S. oil producers. Hamm’s Continental is expected to post a quarterly loss next month.

Hamm’s endorsement followed President Barack Obama’s meeting with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman in Riyadh this week.

By endorsing Trump, Hamm has parted ways with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican candidate for the White House, who has vigorously opposed Trump’s candidacy.

    Another “Who cares?”

    If Trump is not killed or cheated, he will likely be the next Prez. I cannot see him reading from a teleprompter like the current sock puppet. I might just vote for him to see what happens. That man in drag called Billary is getting deeper and deeper in her own shit.

    Mak, if you “who cares” and then rant about some other shit, you obviously do care.

    Do as I do, say ” who the fuck cares what anyone of these business people and pols do”, and move to the next article.

    bug, I have as much right to say what I think as anyone else here. I have been doing it for years. If you don’t like what I have to say, just don’t read it. I ignore a number of people on here who have closed minds.

    Hillary will beat Trump, hands down. Trump will destroy the Republcan party, in fact may have already done so. Maybe Hamm is looking for a loan, or some cheap ties? Or, maybe some advice on divorce and alimony payments?

    They are both obnoxious tools.

    I think Hillary will win. I also think she is a psychopathic narcissist. I admit that I find the idea of Trump winning hilarious. He may just be a better president than that crazy bitch. I wonder how the few US Americans with any common sense left feel about this election? It truly is a circus show. That is American democracy at work for you. Give me a military dictatorship any day!

  6. bug on Sat, 23rd Apr 2016 10:49 am 

    Juan, circus show by far.
    Military dictatorship….better yet anarchy.

    Trump is going to take it if the economy tanks by now and then.

    IF TRUMP BEATS HILLARY, Thank God then at least we won’t have Aunt Jemima plastered all over our twenty dollar bills.

    There are a whole lot of liberal democrats who will vote for Trump because they are so sick and tired of that nasty wicked shrill bitch named Hillary.

    Hillary: I did not have any sexual relations with that man, Bill Clinton.

    At this point “What difference does it make?” The game is over. if you cannot see the handwriting on the wall you are not paying attention. The PTB want either Hillary or Cruz. Both bought and paid for by GS. New currency is being designed by the U.S. when it comes into use your old bills become worthless. CB and Treasuries want a cashless society and I understand U.S. residents are signing petitions to abolish cash. As the German finance minister said “loss of currency will assure slavery for the people. (he is against doing away with currency)

    Like I said said before this is just rearranging chairs on the Titanic. The Elite can rule all they want, who cares either way it will not make a difference. As Penury said the game is over. I am almost tempted to quote a line from the movie Lord of the Rings whereby one person said to another, “go and die as you see fit” Well, lets all live and die as we see fit and not worry about events as they unfold.

    Hillary will win because of mentally retarded and indoctrinated “minorities”, youths, and females. Not to mention election fraud. Trump is a piece of shit, but U.S.GAY. deserves Hillary who is way better.

  14. Apneaman on Sat, 23rd Apr 2016 5:26 pm 

    In addition to his running for POTUS, I’d like to nominate Trump for president of the hair club of America.

    Lucky for Trump the election is this year. This is his only shot because it looks like his voter base is disappearing quickly.

    I agree with Penury. The game is over. It really makes no difference who does what because human history is coming to an end. There will be no one to talk about it by 2100.

    The so-called ‘republican party’ wants Cruz, but not for the reasons anyone thinks. He was the ‘favorite’ because he is meant to lose the so-called ‘uS election’, but to Hillary. The empires real rulers want Hillary, not just because shes a low-IQ imbecile that will do whatever they tell her to, but because they see her as a liberally wishy washy touchy feely woman(ish) person in the Barack Obomber mold. IoW, a novelty liberal(LOL) candidate they can stick in front of the world while waging endless war on it. Barack Obomber in a dress IOW. Trump, and the faux-progressive jew ‘Bernie’, are outsiders and do not have the shadowgovs approval or endorsement. Sure, Bern or Trump could be killed, ignored or just beat down if they ‘win’, but all things being equal, the elites preferred candidates are always ‘pre-screened’ for their suitability, and pliability.

    Trump is a loud, boorish huckster, the perfect american. But if he ‘wins’, he will find himself marginalized and powerless to effect any real change. I can tell Obomber when he was first installed, thought the uS president had power and authority. He quickly learned otherwise and rapidly made his peace with the uS military-corporate rulers. He spent the next 7.5 years or so doing and say exactly what they told him to, even when he himself, knew his real job was to produce bullshit for the world to chew on. A job, he was singularly well suited for.

    Trump is probably too mercurial by elites standars to compromise with them in the standard accepted way. If he wins, it will make for the greatest reality TV series the uS has ever produced, LOL.

    Interesting statement saying she swept the east coast despite a resounding win in Maine for Bernie, even with several hour long lines at polls. The Clinton campaign has shown their true colors in mass and new york. Trump is a bigot idiot.

    By far the most dangerous threat is the banshee.  She has already cheerled the wonderful wars in Iraq, Libya and Syria.  Given the Demonic Party’s long history of war-starting, we can expect another such conflict (this time a really big one) to “secure her place in history.”  She is also doing her best to invite the entire ThirdWorld into the U.S. — the way they do in Canuckland out in the man-ape’s genosuicidal jungle of Hongcouver.  She is, in other words, seeking to mongrelize the White race out of existence.  Just like Ø, her current god, she has nothing but contempt for Caucasians.

    It is well known what the Demonic Party has in store for White civilization:  annihilation, for the sake of temporary political power.  The hate-filled, globalizing moguls behind the Jewbox have convinced many Whites that they must now die and let the lower races take their place.  Hotflash is their mask, used to generate self-hatred in Whites.  Given the media power of those plutocrats, we can expect her to be crowned with ease.  Her “bridge-building” to the parasitic swamps of the globe will eviscerate Western economies and deplete its economic and industrial resource base.  In short, the Demons’ aim is to accomplish what the Commies have done in other countries they have commandeered:  reverse evolution, suffocate creativity and generate corruption that only a Stalin or Mao ZeDong could love.  And fill prisons with White thought criminals.

    The disease now underway will surge forward to the delight of all anti-Whites:  ThirdWorld borderline hominids will swamp Whiteland without a shot being fired.
