Donald Trump: I Can Fix America
Carnival barker fueling speculations of a presidential run again
Donald Trump believes he'd be better suited to tackle some of America's problems than President Barack Obama — and that includes repairing strained relations between Moscow and Washington, stopping China from taking advantage of the United States, and beefing up job numbers.
"We have a country that's going to hell, and you know, I know the reasons why," Trump told The Des Moines Register in a telephone interview last week. "I know how to fix them. A lot of people don't. And I watch politicians, and you know, very rarely would you find anybody that would know how to fix it."

Yes, why not select an eccentric egomaniac billionaire? It has worked out so well in NYC with pocket Hitler.
You look at Obozo and realize as bad as Bush was, he's worse. And then this idiot opens his yap and suggests that there are worse alternatives to Obozo.
I wonder if that idiot is payed under the table by "Mister X" to open his yap?
One guy posted on City-Data forum mentionned then Obama is the next Coleman A. Young, the former mayor of Detroit. When we see the results today, that guy is right on target.
That is the most racist crap I have read in a long time. The posters there see everything in terms of black and white.
Well, not the poster you indicate, he seems to be on the money.
What is more important than anything that Trump has to say is the fact that he's saying it in the Des Moines Register, the largest paper in the first state of the presidential primary campaign.
Trump ought to promise a Miss Teen USA in every bed.
Now that's change I can believe in.
