So the Republican president informed the Boy Scouts at the Jamboree that guys with yachts get more extramarital nookie. I'll take him at his word as I have no personal experience with yachts. I'm sure the Scouts will take his advice to heart - he is the President after all. What did you guys think of the rest of his speech? |

Actually I read on WTF that Trump was talking about orgies. I'm not sure, but it sounds like something he would talk about. |

Google "Trump yacht Boy Scout". It's pretty straightforward and I'm counting on you to spin it in to a positive. No matter though, it was a long speech. How did you like the rest of it? Edited by Steve Miller, Jul 25 2017, 09:13 PM.

Trump's speech was ridiculously bad and toed the line of promoting behaviors and attitudes that are the very antithesis of what scouting tries to espouse, but he also never said anything remotely close to what the left is saying he said. |

(CROWD CHANTING) By the way, just a question, did President Obama ever come to a Jamboree? (APPLAUSE) And we'll be back. We'll be back. The answer is no. But we'll be back. In life, in order to be successful -- and you people are well on the road to success -- you have to find out what makes you excited, what makes you want to get up each morning and go to work? You have to find it. If you love what you do and dedicate yourself to your work, then you will gain momentum? And look, you have to. You need the word "momentum." You will gain that momentum. And each success will create another success. The word "momentum." I'll tell you a story that's very interesting for me. When I was young there was a man named William Levitt. You have some here. You have some in different states. Anybody ever hear of Levittown? (APPLAUSE) And he was a very successful man, became unbelievable -- he was a home builder, became an unbelievable success, and got more and more successful. And he'd build homes, and at night he'd go to these major sites with teams of people, and he'd scour the sites for nails, and sawdust and small pieces of wood, and they cleaned the site, so when the workers came in the next morning, the sites would be spotless and clean, and he did it properly. And he did this for 20 years, and then he was offered a lot of money for his company, and he sold his company, for a tremendous amount of money, at the time especially. This is a long time ago. Sold his company for a tremendous amount of money. And he went out and bought a big yacht, and he had a very interesting life. I won't go any more than that, because you're Boy Scouts so I'm not going to tell you what he did. (CROWD CHANTING) Should I tell you? Should I tell you? (APPLAUSE) You're Boy Scouts, but you know life. You know life. So look at you. Who would think this is the Boy Scouts, right? So he had a very, very interesting life, and the company that bought his company was a big conglomerate, and they didn't know anything about building homes, and they didn't know anything about picking up the nails and the sawdust and selling it, and the scraps of wood. This was a big conglomerate based in New York City. And after about a 10-year period, there were losing a lot with it. It didn't mean anything to them. And they couldn't sell it. So they called William Levitt up, and they said, would you like to buy back your company, and he said, yes, I would. He so badly wanted it. He got bored with this life of yachts, and sailing, and all of the things he did in the south of France and other places. You won't get bored, right? You know, truthfully, you're workers. You'll get bored too, believe me. Of course having a few good years like that isn't so bad. But what happened is he bought back his company, and he bought back a lot of empty land, and he worked hard at getting zoning, and he worked hard on starting to develop, and in the end he failed, and he failed badly, lost all of his money. He went personally bankrupt, and he was now much older. And I saw him at a cocktail party. And it was very sad because the hottest people in New York were at this party. It was the party of Steve Ross -- Steve Ross, who was one of the great people. He came up and discovered, really founded Time Warner, and he was a great guy. He had a lot of successful people at the party. And I was doing well, so I got invited to the party. I was very young. And I go in, but I'm in the real estate business, and I see a hundred people, some of whom I recognize, and they're big in the entertainment business. And I see sitting in the corner was a little old man who was all by himself. Nobody was talking to him. I immediately recognized that that man was the once great William Levitt, of Levittown, and I immediately went over. I wanted to talk to him more than the Hollywood, show business, communications people. So I went over and talked to him, and I said, "Mr. Levitt, I'm Donald Trump." He said, "I know." I said, "Mr. Levitt, how are you doing?" He goes, "Not well, not well at all." And I knew that. But he said, "Not well at all." And he explained what was happening and how bad it's been and how hard it's been. And I said, "What exactly happened? Why did this happen to you? You're one of the greats ever in our industry. Why did this happen to you?" And he said, "Donald, I lost my momentum. I lost my momentum." A word you never hear when you're talking about success when some of these guys that never made 10 cents, they're on television giving you things about how you're going to be successful, and the only thing they ever did was a book and a tape. But I tell you -- I'll tell you, it was very sad, and I never forgot that moment. And I thought about it, and it's exactly true. He lost his momentum, meaning he took this period of time off, long, years, and then when he got back, he didn't have that same momentum. In life, I always tell this to people, you have to know whether or not you continue to have the momentum. And if you don't have it, that's OK. Because you're going to go on, and you're going to learn and you're going to do things that are great. But you have to know about the word "momentum." But the big thing, never quit, never give up; do something you love. When you do something you love as a Scout, I see that you love it. But when you do something that you love, you'll never fail. What you're going to do is give it a shot again and again and again. You're ultimately going to be successful. And remember this, you're not working. Because when you're doing something that you love, like I do -- of course I love my business, but this is a little bit different. Who thought this was going to happen. We're, you know, having a good time. We're doing a good job. (APPLAUSE) Doing a good job. But when you do something that you love, remember this, it's not work. So you'll work 24/7. You're going to work all the time. And at the end of the year you're not really working. You don't think of it as work. When you're not doing something that you like or when you're forced into do something that you really don't like, that's called work, and it's hard work, and tedious work. So as much as you can do something that you love, work hard and never ever give up, and you're going to be tremendously successful, tremendously successful. (APPLAUSE) |

Full transcript (and video of speech) here: http://time.com/4872118/trump-boy-scout-jamboree-speech-transcript/ The more controversial bits from the speech: ** "... who the hell wants to speak about politics when I'm in front of the Boy Scouts?" -- Have read comments that say it is inappropriate to use the word "hell" in front of the Boy Scouts. I myself have no problem with that. May be a real Scout like Luke's Dad can comment? ** "... By the way, are you [Secretary Tom Price] going to get the [ObamaCare repeal/replace] votes? He better get them. He better get them. Oh, he better. Otherwise I'll say, "Tom, you're fired." I'll get somebody. -- Have read comments that say, jokingly or not, it is inappropriate for the President to threaten dismissal of his cabinet member in front of the Boy Scouts. Personally I think it's poor taste, but not a big deal as far as I am concerned. ** "... after seven years of saying repeal and replace Obamacare we have a chance to now do it. They better do it. Hopefully they'll do it." -- Have read comments that say it is inappropriate to inject such partisan politics into a speech for the Boy Scout. I don't really have an opinion on this one, though I am confident that GeorgeK will likely find a GKSR for this if he really wants to. ** "... The fake media [bla bla bla]. Fake media. Fake news." -- Have read comments that say it is inappropriate to attack the media in that setting (Scouts Jamboree). Personally, I think this is in poor taste, but not a big deal. ** " ... [William Levitt] Sold his company for a tremendous amount of money. And he went out and bought a big yacht, and he had a very interesting life. I won't go any more than that, because you're Boy Scouts so I'm not going to tell you what he did." -- Have read comments that say the part that Trump was "not going to tell you what he did" supposedly reference sexual debauchery on the yacht, hence inappropriate in front of the Boy Scouts. May be that's what he meant, may be not (like speculating/arguing what Trump meant by "blood coming out of her wherever" ... where that "wherever" is.) May be in poor taste, but not a comment I personally care about. -- Actually, Trump's entire account on William Levitt in the that speech, IMO, is not in keeping with the spirit of Scouting as it strongly tilts towards using "making money" to define success. May be an actual Scout like Luke's Dad can comment. ![]() ** " ... Do you remember that famous night on television, November 8th where they said, these dishonest people, where they said, there is no path to victory for Donald Trump. They forgot about the forgotten people. ... [there is a lot more about the 2016 election, read the transcript ...][/i] " -- Have read comments that say it is inappropriate to brag of one's electoral victory in front of the Boy Scout. It struck me as being in poor taste, but ultimately not something I care about personally. This one I am not confident GeorgeK can find a GKSR. (George, want to take up this challenge and prove me wrong? ) |

First, if all you got from the Levitt part was that it was all about making money, then the whole thing was over your head. Second, in you list of "sins" committed by Trump, most of which had nothing to do with the speech, where is the part where Trump told the Scouts that if they had a yacht they would get more pussy? You see, that is the charge Steve Miller leveled at Trump, after swallowing the bullsh!t being spread by the WTF idiot brigade. Where is that? |
