Trump suggested that Warren Buffett, the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is the sort of person he would consider hiring.
"Warren Buffett is a terrific guy and a very common-sense person. I mean, Warren is a very common-sense person. That's how he makes the money: with common sense — smart, but common sense. You take some of these great minds that we have, nobody can beat us," he said.
Trump was responding to a question from Fox News host Sean Hannity, who asked Trump to name some people he would consider for his cabinet, including potential choices for vice president, secretary of state, and secretary of defense.
Trump would not "use names," but he went out of his way to heap praise on Buffett. He appeared to be particularly pleased with a recent CNBC interview in which Buffett predicted that he would continue to be a factor in the Republican primary for some time.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he maintains quite a solid base for a long time. And that means he's going to get a fair number of delegates," Buffett said. "He's not going to run out of money so it's going to be a lot of fun to watch, particularly if you're a Democrat."
On Tuesday, Trump called Buffett's interview a "nice honor." Trump also told Hannity on Wednesday that Buffett had said the "nicest things" about him, though he noted that the billionaire investor is a supporter of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner in 2016.
"Warren Buffett said the nicest things about me the other day," he said. "I have great respect for Warren Buffett. But he said, 'Trump is here to stay.' I was impressed because I think he's supporting perhaps Hillary or something."

I hope he knows now.
This is why voters should pick character over talent, looks, intellect and other traits when looking for those who would covet their votes and trust in public office.
He probably isn’t aware - I sure wasn’t. But, someone needs to send this information to him.
