He's talking about running the country, but Donald Trump's record on voting in elections, or rather the lack of it, is coming under fire.
The New York City Board of Elections says Mr Trump did not vote in any primary elections for 21 years.
The registered Republican, who has been touting himself as a prospective presidential candidate, would first need to get GOP voters to nominate him in a primary - a process in which official records show Trump repeatedly failed to participate in.
Mr Trump became a Democrat in 2001, and documents show he ignored that party's primaries as well, missing the 2001 and 2005 primaries for mayor.
In 2002, not only did Mr Trump miss the Democratic primaries for statewide offices, but records show he also skipped the general election, the AP reports.
There is also no evidence that Trump voted in the presidential primary between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, even though he voiced support for Mr Obama after Mrs Clinton took New York State.

Trumpkins will twist themselves into a pretzel and take a volley of bullets in the middle of Fifth Avenue to defend their “Dear Leader.”
Bush was the WORST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.
He left the country a complete mess and gave us Obama as a result.
Perhaps Trump knew the whole time that Primaries only matter if the ‘proper’ (as in pre-selected) candidate wins, as we’re now seeing.
He knew more about the Primary process than most of us, me included, I suspect.
Perhaps if Mr. Trump threw his primary support behind conservatives, we wouldn’t have wound up with McCain and Romney.
We have few options. Anything the old school has gone with for the last 20 years is out.
One guy steps up and explains the problem.
Immediately attacked for not being nice or politically correct.
Trump supporters have bullets. You...... Not so much.
Just what has long time politicians done for us?
What makes you think we don't? There was a teenager arrested a few weeks back for setting up a medical practice. They let him go and he did it again.
Yep, I read about that Florida lunatic teenager. But my point remains.
I can't believe you are still telling this lie. Where I was born and raised if you were not a registered democrat you never got to vote in a primary because there was never a Republican on the ballot. I didn't vote in Primaries either.
So your point is a doctor without med school?
Is that like a President without Harvard?
.... Just what has long time politicians done for us? ....
Agree 100%. But that’s the hope n change argument. We’ve seen how that works.
That wonderful period of Republican control directly gave us the last seven years.
And Hillary doesn't?
You are now confusing the argument.
Just post a paragraph on what you see should happen.
Mr. Trump does do a great job explaining our problems. His solutions however, seem to change a lot over time. If he builds the wall, I will kiss his feet. If he enacts trade tariffs, he will kill the economy.
He also says national security, healthcare, and education are the federal governments top priorities. I want a strong defense, but really want DHS and the Dept of Ed shut down. You?
Hillary scares the crap out of me more. That’s why Mr. Trump needs to be fully vetted for POTUS. Not this cult of personality nonsense.
... Is that like a President without Harvard? ...
X’plain please.
The one point is the tariffs. That will be difficult.
We do not have an economy. Your bank statement alone will share that.
As far as the alphabet agencies go, getting rid of them can be done but I start with the EPA. The DHS and NEA is useless.
I don’t need Grandma strip searched while Mohamed whatever walks through the gate.
