Trump Keeps Trolling: I Woulda Beaten Obama, Might Run In 2016

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 triumphing 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."

1. Yes, because the 2012 election results show Americans really wanted a rich clown.

5. BWAHAHAHA. Look up "delusional" in the dictionary.

You'll find Trump's photo right next to the definition.

[MANative]

6. Trump is little more than a glorified carnival barker.

He's not now, never has been, and never will be serious about running for President. It's all about publicity for his odd ventures (Celebrity Apprentice? Really?), just like Herman Cain trying to drive up book sales.

There's always room for one more.

Like 15 other guys.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. I would like to see two things...

Trump actually running so he can be completely humiliated in public and

Someone telling Trump to his face in a public forum that he is nothing but a bankrupt bullshit artist
