His pitch is simple: he says he will be America’s greatest selling point. “I think I would just get along very well with Vladimir Putin. I just think so. People say, ‘What do you mean?’ I just think we would ... Obama and him, he hates Obama. Obama hates him. We have unbelievably bad relationships. Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, she was the worst secretary of state in the history of our country. The world blew apart during her reign, now she wants to be president.”
His global strategy is also simple: “I’d make our military much stronger and I’d make it so strong that nobody would mess with us.”
Asked which recent US president he most admired, he chose Reagan. Trump said: “He was somebody that the world looked to with respect; our country at that time was respected. If you remember the Iranian crisis with Jimmy Carter where they had our hostages, as soon as Reagan was elected, those hostages were released so quickly your head would spin. We were a respected country and he set a fabulous tone.”
With that, Trump left the press conference, promised journalists the chance to tour his hotel’s fabulous new rooms with his son. Directly outside the hotel’s low white frontage, on a terraced lawn in clear view of the entire course, sat Trump’s red-lettered personal helicopter – an unambiguous statement of Trump’s burning desire for fame.

Pretty good article…
Putin knows he can BS the current cadre. I bet he doesn’t know what to do about Trump.
Putin likely would get along with Trump. Trump is a schmooz artist. I mean that in a good way.
I’m confused. Is the woman’s British Open at his place?
I think he’s there at the hotel he bought, that is on the golf course where the open is being played. He’s looking at buying another course, I assume.
How many helicopters does he own. Or is there just a travel one that fits inside the jumbo jet?
Yes.
Really gotta admire Trump’s pinache...
Not only does he get a good jab in at Obama/Hillary, he does it while getting tons of FREE press for one of his own premier properties, enhancing his BRAND...
LOL. Check out the STUNNED and (for a change) SILENT Mika (she’s the anorexic and anemic bleached blond next to Joe the RINO).
By jove, if Donald can avoid an assassin’s bullet, the hemlock laced beverage, “mysterious” plane crash, etc., we may just have a world changing LANDSLIDE in the making.
Just pray Donald keeps his cool when the other contenders try to get in his face in Cleveland.
Suggest you double that popcorn order for the debate!

I wonder what this reporter said about Bammy's GREEK COLUMNS?
He’s been attacking Hillary a LOT. That pretty much dispells the theory that he’s a Perot-like shill for the Democrats. When he starts attacking Bernie Sanders I’ll be reassured he’s legit.
Let’s see, Trump “slates”(that’s a new word)Hillary and Obama on his own property. Obama does it while embarrassing the presidents of Kenya and Ethiopia = Trump is bad.
Who is Bernie Sanders that Trump should attack?
Fame? Donald Trump was and is already famous and he was A LOT closer to a household word than Il Douchebag was prior to the 2008 election. Trump/Cruz 2016
Trump owns the entire thing. The hotel and golf course. It was a huge controversy. The course is historic and the snobby Brits didn’t want him to buy it.
