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.

He knew Ted Cruz would steal his vote.
You could count the competitive primaries on two hands.
because it didn’t matter which party won?
I have it on sterling authority that Donald Trump also left the toilet seat up one time a number of years ago, leading to a very awkward experience for Marla.
Not the response I was expecting, but funny is still funny.
Well played sir!
George Bush voted Republican all his life, and what did that give us???
In other words, a fairly normal human being.
He voted for McCain in 2008 and for Romney in 2012 and saw that was useless
So that is why he decided to run and try and change things himself
A lot of people blow off primaries for many reasons, like its a given who is gonna win
its a pretty meaningless question at this point
Don’t be stupid.
LOL! Too true.
I thought people in the UK spoke English, I guess not due to the title.
I didn’t vote in a primary for the first twenty years I voted (I didn’t choose a party affiliation, either). So, on what basis should I condemn Trump for not voting in a primary? As we’re seeing in this election season, it’s not like the primaries matter. The electorate isn’t getting their choice anyway, in some cases.
In NYS or NYC it has NOT mattered by the time our primary rolls around. It is always a done deal. Why vote?
THIS is the first year in decades that we have a voice. Or, do we?
Now TedCruz probably voted in every primary
He comes from a long line of voters
Both of his parents are on a 1974 list of Canadian voters
[(so why does he interested now?)]
I dunno. Only you can answer that question.
He knew he would have to pay off the crooked politicians from both parties.
What you left out is that he registered as a Repub from 1987-1999.
Anti-Trump FUBAR Junk by the Brits!
Brits need to be careful to stay out of American Politics, even if their stories are true.
American Press has this responsibility, not the Brits.
Let them fail if that is what they are going to do.
They do now.
This is from 5 years ago.
