Via Breitbart. Thanks to Fox News’s rules, this is the guy who might take Bobby Jindal’s spot at the first GOP presidential debate in August. He’s ranked in the top five in more than one Republican 2016 poll, no doubt by dint of pure name recognition. If he decides to run — which is unlikely, but work with me here — he’ll probably be one of the 10 who make the cut for the debate. And that’ll turn it into the Trump show for the media, no matter how eager GOP voters might be to hear, say, Rubio go at it with Rand Paul on foreign policy instead. You would think, if he’s going to tease the press with the thought of a presidential run, he’d do it as a Democrat to take advantage of Hillary’s celebrity. The trainwreck spectacle of Donald Trump, of all people, blasting away at Her Majesty over things like trade and her refusal to take tough questions from the press would be pure heroin for journalists. Listening to him here, he sounds like a natural fit.
I wonder how much cred Trump gets from Republican populists for sheer pugnacity. Could any random celebrity get a semi-serious look from part of the GOP base just by being vehemently critical of Obama and offering red meat on things like immigration and China? If Trump’s going to run, we might as well have other right-leaning celebs, like Jon Voight or Robert Duvall, onstage too. Maybe that could be part three of the CNN debate format.

Trump is a waste of time.
That tells me that Trump would be a president who would bend over backwards and ignore the danger of Islam on the world because he doesn’t want to “offend” them. Guess what, Don? Muslims are offended by your EXISTENCE and would gladly behead you while praising their god.
Mr. Mega ego just loves the sound of his own voice. No substance...just BS.
Hey cringe...more from your great conservative hope....the great white hope, no, the great white hype....
Agree. Not as prez. He might be good in a cabinet position.
He must be good at yoga.. as he is such a great poser.
Don’t underestimate Trump, he’s a conservative with brass cojones.
Trump thinks that liberty is the freedom to make lots of money and exercising any rights that might sour a deal need to be put aside. “At least temporarily” he might say. I’m afraid he would just as easily apply his logic to religious freedoms, 2nd Amendment rights or the 4th Amendment as he has so cavalierly brushed aside freedom of speech and expression.
No dice, Donald, your priorities are showing and they don’t cut it.
Methinks The Donald has some business brewing in Dubai.
Trump won’t run - he’d have to debate Cruz, and Cruz would show him up for the hypocritical globalist buffoon he really is.
The tragedy is that Americans can’t see it for themselves.
Dhimmi Trump or as Ivana might say, “The Dhimmi.”
And yes to bad hair pieces.
