In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Donald Trump says President Obama is, “one of our worst presidents ever and something has to be done because it's only going to get worse.”
Trump also takes on his critics saying many of them, “can’t get a job.” I conducted this interview with Donald Trump in New York City at Trump Tower.
Video and transcription below.
David Brody: What do you say to the critics? The mainstream media who dismiss you. They have lots of different terms
Donald Trump: Well its interesting. One nice thing about all the polls, these commentators, most of whom are out of work, most of whom who are consultants or political consultants that can't get a job. I heard one the other night. He was saying, 'Oh, Trump won't run. Trump's not serious. He won't run. Trump won't run. He's not serious. Yeah, sure he beat everybody in the polls but he won’t run. He's not serious.'
Well if I wasn't serious, I wouldn't be sitting with you to be honest, with you, and I wouldn't be trying to make my views felt. And I'll have to be honest with you. I would much prefer that Barack Obama be a great president and really do an unbelievable job and bring this country back, than me run and have to do it if I had my choice because I love my life. I've got one of the most successful shows on television, I've got a phenomenal empire, I've got great real estate that I love and I'm building, and I'm having lots of fun and I'm doing my thing and my company is a great company.
I would much prefer not having to do this, not having to even think about running for president. I would much prefer that Barack Obama was a great president. He's one of our worst presidents ever and something has to be done because it's only going to get worse.
Look at the budget mess that we have right now. Who ever heard of this? Shutting down? It's a mess. There's no leadership. You look at Libya. You look at budgets. You look at deficits. You look at our energy policy. We don't even have an energy policy. There's no energy policy so he's not going to be a good president.
And I'll tell you what. If we have him as president for another four years, this country's maybe really going to be, well, it's already in the worst shape it's ever been in. But I can't even think to tell you what would happen with another four years of this.
