The Donald--We've heard from
Huckabee,
Santorum, Gingrich, Barbour and even a little bit from
Palin in Iowa. But we haven't heard anything from the Donald. We did today. Donald Trump joins me on WHO radio this afternoon at around 4:35pm (you can listen on-line at
whoradio.com). We taped an interview with him from his office in Manhattan. Trump sounds serious about running. Really serious. He's also apparently not a big fan of President Obama. He said "nobody respects us". He said the president's actions have been "very disappointing and sad". And he told me it's the president's fault the world doesn't think more of us. He also doesn't think much of the possible presidential field, even on the Republican side. He said they are the reason he would have to get into the race. He doesn't want to, he said, but he has no choice. And he said he is more qualified to be president than someone with just a governor on his/her resume. Trump also has a way to immediately bring down the deficit. He said we have too many troops too many places around the world. And when we send them to help some country, that country should help pay the bill for the assistance.
Trump said if he runs, he will announce it after his show, "The Apprentice", on NBC wraps up for the season. That would be in June. By the way, the show begins its new season this Sunday night. Trump said he will come to Iowa a lot if he runs. And he said he has been invited to western Iowa Congressman Steve King's Conservative Principles Conference on March 26th, where other possibles including Minnesota Congressman Michele Bachmann, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton have already announced their intentions to come. Trump didn't say whether he will come to the conference.
Trump also has an interesting take on whether, during these crummy economic times, Americans would really want to elect a really rich guy to the White House.
What do you think of him running for president? Join us on WHO radio this afternoon from 4 to 7.

May not be a bad idea. He is used to dealing with bankruptcies.
Hilarious. But sad. I agree with you. How could he do any worse?
Never thought I would have similar ideas about running our country as Mr. Trump. I sure hope he does decide to run.
It amazes me how soon we forget what got us here. A quick fix is not what we voted for in 2008. It took a very long time to mess our country up and the solutions will take much longer. In this give me now nation we never want to wait for better times. Our greed put us here,and we think Mr,Trump can fix this ,how? give me a break.
