In a cherished presidential cycle tradition, Donald Trump is trying to insert himself into the 2016 conversation.
For starters, he gave a sit-down interview to the all-important Des Moines Register, which was published Friday. In it, he took some shots at presumptive GOP frontrunners Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, while lamenting that he didn’t run in 2012, when he also teased at a presidential bid before backing out.
“I was leading in every poll. … I regret that I didn’t stay in,” Trump told the Register. “I would’ve won the race against (President Barack) Obama. He would’ve been easy. Hillary (Clinton) is tougher to beat than Obama, but Hillary is very beatable.”
He in turn criticized Romney for not triumpihng over a vulnerable Obama.
“He failed. He choked. He’s like a deal-maker that didn’t close the deal. He shouldn’t be running again. He had a great opportunity to win against a president that was absolutely lame, and he didn’t do it,” Trump said. “The 47 percent statement, which was a disaster, is not going away. Romneycare is not going away. All of his problems are not going away. He should get out and get out quickly.”
On Bush, he added: “Frankly we’ve had enough of the Bushes. We’re bushed out.”
But fear not, ardent Trump watchers: A decision could come by the summer.
“It’s too early for me to say,” he said. “I may make a decision to run before June. But I’m strongly inclined to do so.”
Megalomaniac doesn’t even sum up this waste of the amazing mix of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus that make up the human body, considering he is even human. (I guess there weren’t any joe scarborough memes for weekend fillers.)
Un huh … right after the last monkey flies out of your ass!
He isn’t going to run and he would lose now or back then to any candidate that ran against him. He knows that.
As the old saying goes…Donald…only your Mama loves you and she could be jiving too.
He has got to keep name in the headlines. It helps the ratings of his TV show. That’s what his annnouncemets are all about. He will never actually run for president. Its kinda sad that a lot people can’t see that, and actually take him seriously.
P.S. I could have beat Obama also.
“I was leading in every poll” … well there’s the proof of senior onset dementia. Besides that, this is one hell of an ugly man!
