Donald Trump dealt a series of F-bombs during a speech Thursday night in Las Vegas where he condemned the president specifically and policymakers as a whole.

“Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people,” the billionaire told an audience of approximately 1,000 people at the Treasure Island hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip hosted by several Republican women’s groups.

The real estate mogul and television producer continued his battle cry of taking oil from countries after we have defeated them in battle.

“In the old days, when you won the war, it was yours,” Trump said, earning applause from the crowd. “When we win a war … we leave with nothing.”

Regarding Asia, Trump said they should be honoring the United States with tributes as well.

“I’d say to South Korea, ‘All those televisions you sell us, all the billions you make — we’re going to protect you and make sure you’re in good shape, but you’re going to pay for it,’” he proclaimed. “You know something, they would do it in two minutes.”

And China? Trump says there’s no benefit trying to be a good neighbor environmentally if halfway around the world the most-favored nation is mucking up the air.

“In China and other countries, they just burn whatever the hell is available,” Trump complained. “Over here, we want clean technology. What the hell good is green here if this guy over here is spewing all sorts of crap into the air?”

Meanwhile he stood firm on his stance about levying a 25% tax on imports from the sleeping dragon while spewing an expletive.

The salty language didn’t end there.

Concerning oil prices, the New York businessman complained that there isn’t anyone in power willing to say no to OPEC when they raise the price of gasoline. “We have nobody in Washington that sits back and said, you’re not going to raise that ****ing price,” Trump said.

When a woman in the crowd shouted that he should run for president, Trump, who has said that he will make an announcement regarding that topic on the season finale of his television show on NBC, told the woman that he will soon make her very happy.

Trump then made an uncharacteristic observation, namely that he might lose at something. “There is a really good chance that I won’t win because of one of these blood-sucking politicians,” Trump conceded.

Regarding the birth certificate, which had been a major talking point of Trump’s in recent months, the boisterous billionaire was still taking credit a day after President Obama released his long-form Hawaiian document.

Hillary Clinton tried to get him to do it, Bill Clinton tried to get him to do it, John McCain, who’s a wonderful guy, tried to get him to do it, nobody could get him to do it and he did it because we went after him hard, were tough negotiators like this country needs,” Trump said.
