Donald Trump For President Campaign Gains Traction; Americans To Leave The U.S. If Tycoon Wins?

The Donald Trump for president movement is fast gaining momentum.

And this is largely due to the man himself who has virtually ripped the political "rulebook" when he recently spoke at a gathering of supporters at the Dallas Sports Arena in Texas, reported CNN.

"I hear they are going after me. Whatever. Whatever," Trump declared to roaring fans who wore "Make America Great" ball caps and T-shirts emblazoned with his image.

By and large, the billionaire-investor turned presidential hopeful is a maverick who loves to do things his way, even if most of his actions goes against well-established campaign strategies.

But what makes him stand out from the rest of the GOP candidates - aside from his country-boy charisma - is his aversion to wishy washy political rhetoric and his ability to candidly speak what is on his mind.

In fact, the White House contender reportedly comes off as boastful and acidic, someone who is not afraid to hit back at his opponents in order to get his point across.

"I like the idea of the scaffolding being down when they are swearing me in, I do," he told his supporters who almost filled up the 20,000 capacity sports arena.

Not only did he criticize the media during his speech, but he also used the opportunity to slam his rivals and even paint a picture of himself as the next president of the United States.

The aggressive tactics used by Donald Trump in his bid for US president could work both ways; it could garner the much-needed support that he needs for a successful run, or it could backfire and expose chinks in his armor.

It is therefore crucial for him to do well during the upcoming presidential debate in order to show foes and allies alike that his resume is of presidential timber.

In the meantime, Donald Trump haters said that they will be leaving America in case the business tycoon emerges victorious as president, according to USA Today.

Luminoso, a Cambridge-based digital analytics firm, reported that out of the 4.5 million Trump-related tweets from Aug. 7 through Sept. 9, four percent of those who tweeted were people who promised to pack their bags if the real-estate mogul makes it to the White House.

Based on the 200,000 tweets posted, here are the top five countries people will relocate to in case the bid of Donald Trump to become president succeeds: Mexico, 75,000; General, 69,000 ("I'm moving if Trump is elected" but no location specified); Canada, 25,000; and United Kingdom, 11,000.
