Roger Stone: Trump Told Me He'd Run on New Years Day 2013 [View all]
Roger Stone: Trump Told Me He’d Run on New Year’s Day 2013
The longtime political consultant and Trump confidante also says the new president is more like Richard Nixon than Ronald Reagan.
Donald Trump made a New Year's resolution in 2013 that would end up capsizing American politics and lead to one of the most stunning upsets in electoral history, according to a new book by veteran political consultant Roger Stone.
"He told me on New Year's Day 2013 that he was running for president in 2016," Stone writes in "The Making of the President 2016: How Donald Trump Orchestrated a Revolution."
When Stone pointed out to Trump that the media would be deeply skeptical that he would actually launch a campaign based on his previous flirtations with public office, Trump replied, "That will disappear when I announce."
And the rest is history.
