Trump 'really thinking' about prez bid
By: CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney


(CNN) – Let’s get one thing straight: Donald Trump doesn’t want to run for president. Honestly, he doesn’t. Not interested.

But because the country is in such dire straits, he says, the business tycoon and perennial publicity hound just might have no choice. The country needs him.

“For the first time really would think about it. And I am thinking about it. It doesn’t mean I want to do it. I’d prefer not doing it. I’m having a lot of fun doing what I’m doing. It’s a great time to be buying things. I’m buying a lot of things and really having a good time,” Trump told Joy Behar Wednesday on HLN, CNN’s sister network.

“But I hate - you know, I’m very proud of this country. I’m very proud to be an American. And frankly, I hate what I’m seeing. I hate that friends of mine from Europe, from Asia, from all over the world - they’re telling me stories about this country,” the reality television host lamented.

Trump said President Obama particularly embarrassed America when he traveled to Copenhagen a year ago in a failed last-minute bid to secure the 2016 summer Olympics for Chicago.

6. Go trump yourself, The Donald!

The last thing the US needs is more trump. :puke:

[Angry Dragon]

7. The thing about people like little donny

is that they are so used to being to yell at people and have them do what ever they are told
They think government runs the same ......... stupid rich people

[JamesA1102]

8. President Trump will just make things worse.

Government cannot be run as a business.

[quinnox]

9. Do it! It would be great

I don't think he would have any chance, but it would make the presidential race that much more entertaining to watch!

[ClarkUSA]

10. This is another publicity stunt. He's such an attention whore.

Maybe he and Assange can hold daily joint news conferences so they can bask in front of the media lights after they both step outside their uber-wealthy digs.

[inna]

42. disgusting attack at assange, again.

[ClarkUSA]

44. Since when did that misogynistic pervert Assange become off-limits for criticism?

Did the Pope canonize yet?

:sarcasm:

[divvy]

11. Trump creates lots of straw-man arguments

He is the only one in dire straits. He is a crappy businessman who lost is ass with a casino. How incompetent do you have to be to pull that one off?

[EC]

12. He sees the loss of the Olympics as a major

embarrassment? We've had the Olympics here already...what's the big deal? We were the underdog in the picks anyway...

[11 Bravo]

13. Someone told him the job comes with free toupee maintenance.

[JVS]

14. LOL!

[hobbit709]

15. Why has every Trump deal lost money for the other investors except for him.

And he got his money the old fashioned way-he inherited it.

[treestar]

16. If that's his number one issue, he is disqualified right there.

:rofl:

CEOs would make terrible Presidents. They have no idea that Congress would not just fall at their feet.

[zehnkatzen]

17. When the going gets absurd, the absurd turn pro. k/r

Thanks, Donald, but no thanks.

We already have enough headcases in the gubmint.

You don't get an executive producer to make you look good in the Oval Office … or haven't you been paying attention?

[Vickers]

18. "It’s a great time to be buying things. I’m buying a lot of things and really having a good time."

Just like all the other average Americans across this great country of ours!

:sarcasm:

[Loudmxr]

19. You got the quote wrong. America is not listening enough to Dire Straits.

Money For Nothin'

Lets face it Mark Knopfler has the Trump hair cut.. sort of.

Really he is a nice guy I worked with him.. only once. A gem.

[RegieRocker]

20. That all America needs...To be Trumped!

[spanone]

21. what modesty this man possesses ....fuck the don

[HopeHoops]

22. Oh yeah, like THAT'S going to fucking help.

:eyes:

[kestrel91316]

23. He better do something about his rather frightening hair before he runs.

[deaniac21]

24. I miss Dire Straits.

[TheKentuckian]

26. Me too. Very underrated and to paraphrase Adams, the music is like drunken angels on a Saturday nigh

[DirkGently]

32. I miss them both.

[TheKentuckian]

38. I'm sure you do, my dear Holistic Detective. As do I.

[beam me up scottie]

33. Me three.

Listening to 'Love Over Gold' right now.

I was never able to see them in concert. :(

[Rex]

25. Um...The Donald lost all his money and had to have Reagan bail him out.

The fact is he is a horrible businessman and a complete unknown as potential POTUS. I hope he runs and blows ALL his money on the race!

[democracy1st]

27. his corrupt a$$ knows everything about this corrupt system

[bullwinkle428]

28. Mr. Four-times-bankrupt wants to save the U.S. from financial ruin?

:rofl: :rofl:

http://www.mademan.com/mm/how-many-times-has-donald-trump-filed-bankruptcy.html

[Donnachaidh]

29. yeah, Mr. Let's File For Bankruptcy when we run out of money thinks he can fix things.

Donald's been huffing his Aqua Net again. :rofl:

[beam me up scottie]

30. Not that I would ever vote for him, but compared to Sarah Palin...

I'll take the greedy shallow one wearing the dead muskrat on his head any day. :evilgrin:

[somone]

31. Shit, why not

Might be highly entertaining.

[EstimatedProphet]

34. So, someone needs to finish us off, is that what he's saying?

[Horse with no Name]

36. Hasn't he been declaired bankrupt a couple of times?

That concerns me,lol.
That, and he doesn't have Presidential hair.

[Douglas Carpenter]

37. I remember back in 2005 Trump saying he might run and he wanted Oprah as his running mate and he was

completely serious - this was on the Larry King show. It became clear after listening to him that other than his business prowess - he is simply not a very bright or knowledgeable person. He is one of those people who has puts all of his intelligence into only one area alone - specifically in his case making lots of money. But once he opens his mouth on any other subject he sounds like a complete dope. He has approximately the same general knowledge level as Sarah Palin.

[TexasObserver]

39. Hair raising news.

[marmar]

43. His rug is on too tight.

[Liberal_in_LA]

45. It's not a rug. It's his own hair grown long in the back & on the sides, pulled forward

in a complicated pattern.

[COLGATE4]

41. God, his selflessness is absolutely overwhelming. Kind of like

Grifty McQuitter, who also is 'ready to serve' if 'God wills is'. Refreshing in this cynical day and age.

[AndrewP]

46. This prick is a typical Republican politician

Born on third base and bragging about hitting a triple.

Bah.

[Blasphemer]

47. Palin-Trump '12

They both claim that they will run because the country needs them, he loves having good looking arm candy and mainstream Republicans want nothing to do with the Alaskan grifter. It's a match made in hell.

[Imagevision]

48. Trump, over Obama or Palin? -- no problem...!
