Donald Trump: “I don’t want to be president” entire 1987 CNN interview with Larry King Live

Ignore the “I don’t want to be president” title. Everyone who has run and/or became president has said that at one time or another. This is a fairly interesting interview of Donald Trump. Note how he is the same and how he has changed.

It’s interesting how Trump talks about the US is losing $200 billion a year, and how the U.S. protects Japan, the Gulf States, and how they should pay. That’s nothing compared to the $1 to $2 trillion a year that America is “losing” today. That’s deficit spending. I wonder if “losing” would resonate better with everyday Americans better than “deficit spending”, which leads to national debt.

There’s plenty of stuff to discuss here, all the way down to Trump’s speaking style and cadence.

Back when black people loved Trump.

White Democrats told them not to.

[navymom1]

They still do. My evidence for this is apparent at the rallies and in podcasts I’ve watched.

[nwrep]

Back when we had mostly eliminated racism.

Sharpton loved him some Trump back in the day.

Does Barack Obama really want to be president? https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/she-the-people/wp/2012/10/05/obama/

[Bob434]

I’m surprised that Bragg or Leticia or some other dem isn’t bringing charges of lying agaisnt him for saying that lol

[Telepathic Intruder]

Yeah, then some pedophile said “if you don’t hate Trump then you ain’t black”. Don’t ask me to figure out how they are mind controlled so easily.

Does Barack Obama really want to be president?

Seeing our president hanging out at podiums in Charlotte and now Denver, his famous competitiveness nowhere to be seen, has left me with a question I wish I didn’t have: Does Barack Obama really want to be president?

I’m pretty sure he never expected the country to go “full stupid” in 1987. I never would have imagined it either.

[iontheball]

That denial preceded Trump being drafted for the job.

Note how he is the same and how he has changed.

Even back then, his focus appeared to be on foreign policy, but his heart was with the American people.
He focused almost exclusively on how the US is being taken advantage of by other countries and interests and how we enter into such bad agreements and arrangements, but the reason it’s hurting us is because we don’t help our own.

How he is different, he seemed much more calm and focused in his demeanor then. He seems more animated but to have a lot more ticks and eccentricities now.

he had another interview a couple years later saying...if it got so bad...i would

I didn’t think so in 1987. I was a software engineer at a Fortune 150 American manufacturing company. That company no longer exists. I exited in 1990 to start my own business after living in a bureaucratic, inefficient and ineffective environment for three years. Looking back on that, it’s nothing compared to today. That was a great company compared to what we have today. Where are the American companies that build something tangible today without government subsidies and regulatory regimes that punish competitors?

!987 was when Trump registered to vote for the first time.

I don’t want to be president but things were so bad I had to save America.
