Politics / Donald Trump Trump: I Wish I Didn't Have to Consider Presidential Run But he just loves this country too much not to By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Apr 17, 2011 11:44 AM CDT Copied Donald Trump attends the South Florida Tea Party's third annual tax day rally Saturday, April 16, 2011 at Sanborn Square in Boca Raton, Fla. (AP Photo/Palm Beach Post, Gary Coronado) Donald Trump was quite the braggart on CNN’s State of the Union today. Highlights from Politico: Trump is better than Romney: “Mitt Romney is a basically small-business guy, if you really think about it,” Trump said, adding that he is “much bigger than this man and have a much, much bigger net worth. I mean my net worth is many, many, many times Mitt Romney.” And his company is, too: “I've built a great company. And one of the beauties of, frankly, if and when I announce, some time prior to June, you will see how big my company is, because it's much bigger and much more powerful and much stronger than anyone really knows.” Why is he doing so well in early polling? “Because of success. That's why they know my name, essentially." He doesn’t even want to run for president, but…: “I love my life. I love what I'm doing. I wished I didn't have to do it, because I'm enjoying my life. I'm having a good time. I have a great company. I have a very successful show, all of that stuff, right. I wish I didn't have to do it. I would prefer not doing it. But I love this country.” How he would lower crude oil prices: OPEC just needs the “right messenger” to come in, because prices “will go down if you say it properly,” he insisted. “Obama is not the right messenger. We are not a respected nation anymore and the world is laughing at us.” (More Donald Trump stories.) Report an error
