2015年CRI Donald Trump Runs for President in 2016

 

Donald Trump¹ is serious.

"I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again."

He criticized President Obama on a wide range of issues, from Obamacare to trade deals, saying "the American dream is dead"!

He also humiliated² some of his Republican³ competitors, saying they came to him asking for financial support for their campaigns but could not produce any plans to make the country great again.

He believes he has the skills of a great deal-maker and will bring great trade deals for Americans.

"I will be the greatest jobs president God ever created. I tell you that."

The successful businessman is not shy about his wealth, telling the crowd that he is really rich with a net worth of close to 9 billion U.S. dollars.

He stressed that it's time to get rid of the old mindset that a successful person cannot run for public office.

Trump's 2016 bid has created a lot of buzz⁴ in the media and on social networks. However, TV pundits⁵ say Trump's 2016 bid will only turn the presidential race into a reality show. And just two weeks ago, Jimmy Fallon, host of NBC's Late Night show, compared Trump's presidential bid to FIFA's World Cup that happens every four years and no one in America cares.

Trump is currently⁶ among the top 10 Republican candidates and will appear on a Fox News debate in August. But NBC has told him that he will no longer host his TV reality show "the apprentice⁷" because NBC believes they may not be able to provide equal platforms for other presidential candidates.
