President Trump said Wednesday that he’d like to see legendary sportscaster Stephen A. Smith run for president — after the Bronx native peppered him with questions about his anti-DEI policies.
“I’ve been pretty good at picking people and picking candidates, and I will tell you I’d love to see him run,” Trump, 78, said in a NewsNation interview. *** “Stephen A, he’s a good guy. He’s a smart guy. I love watching him,” Trump replied to O’Reilly’s idea.
“He’s got great entertainment skills, which is very important. People watch him. You know, a lot of these Democrats I watch, I say they have no chance.”
Trump had just fielded questions from Smith, who is black, on a series of actions by his administration to roll back policies intended to benefit racial minorities.
“Your administration has issued executive orders dismantling DEI initiative across federal agencies, including revoking equal opportunity mandates and slashing funding for minority owned businesses,” Smith told the president.
“Critics argue these actions reverse decades of civil rights progress. So how do you justify these measures, and what message do they send to the marginalized communities?”
Trump politely fended off the criticism.
“What we’re doing is we have a country that’s based solely on merit now, and that’s the way it is. If somebody’s out there doing a great job —and this includes getting into colleges if you’ve worked really hard — and we don’t look at race,” Trump said.
“We don’t look at color, we don’t look at height or shortness or weight. If somebody is doing a good job and they worked and they got great marks, and they got great board numbers, and they get rejected at Harvard, which has been so disgusting, so horribly. I mean, so think of it.”

He can’t run on a basketball court.
and if we’re being honest...stephen A. has more working brainpower than kammy.
He needs to take Pam Bondi spot.
“Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier
up and down the court for 48 minutes!”
Loving to see him run doesn’t mean seeing him elected.
Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don’t even run down court. And that you don’t really try... except during the playoffs.
President Trump understands Democraps. Anything he’s for. they’re against. They will never nominate Smith.
She is kicking *ss and it must be killing you. LOL! Clown.
Trump U.S.A.
Always came across to me as a total racist. Maybe I’m the only one.
Cowboys fans certainly won’t vote for him.
Before entering politics, Trump was successful (1) in business and (2) in entertainment. He was (and remains) rough around the edges. He has that difficult to define charisma factor. Stephen A. Smith has some of these very qualities, but not the business part.
Trump’s business part, back in 2016, included navigating the often treacherous paths of municipal politics in New York City and elsewhere, dealing with giant, multinational banks such as Deutches Bank, developing properties in many countries and cultures around the world, and running international beauty contests.
Trump’s portfolio of experiences made him one of the most qualified candidates for president back in 2016, and more than made up for his “lack” of political experience. With his combination of experiences, it is simply difficult for anybody to be compared to Trump.
““Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier
up and down the court for 48 minutes!””
Gratuitous Airplane reference. Love it!
They immediately came to mind! 😄🤣😜🤪
Growing up a Pistons fan, Bob Lanier was my favorite player.
He’d “love to see him run” is nothing near “he’d make a good president “
It’s like saying, “I’d love to see AOC run.”
Not that I’d want her to actually win.
Over the years, Trump had a continuous ongoing argument with Forbes Magazine over his net worth valuation and his Forbes 400 ranking.
The 100th Forbes Anniversary edition in 2017 described the history in considerable detail.
Steve Forbes had and still has, a bad Trump taste in his mouth for Donald Trump. Trump is President and Steve is not.
The Forbes revelations are certainly, with no doubt what’s so ever, the basis for the Letisia James Lawsuits

Wow
His problem wasn't so much a lack of political experience, it was a lack of a pool of Washington relationships, particularly in his own party.
