    If Trump wants to be president i demand he show us an IQ test. Mexico is not going to pay for the wall. How can he make America competitive with mexico and china when he makes his clothes there. im sure the last thing he wants is to hurt his own business from making money. Tarrifs will effect his own company. u really believe that trump cares about others as much as he cares about himself. Unless he abolishes the minimum wage we can expect to be more profitable but at the same time poorer as workers making 3 or 4 dollars an hour.

    Sitting in a room all day and talking about what you know is easy not even compared to being in a foreign committee making a deal or separating a fucking human being. Stay sitting down boring guy.

    The only thing the Donald is good at is bypassing questions and telling everyone how good he is at everything even when he cannot define everything. "Quds Kurds I'll just buy them and then let them go bankrupt that how I got enough money to make people think I can be president screw if if I can't figure something out I'll watch television and let the folks in the situation room figure it out." Trump actually believes that he can rise to the challenges that face the US without even knowing what any of the challenges are. Please for all the future generations DON'T VOTE THE DONALD IN, or please turn out the lights if your the last one to leave the country.

    I bet you anything that most of the politicians wouldn't know the answers either. I know they can't do any worse than what we have now. As none of the politicians I can think back to, have done a great job so far. I think it is time to give a non politician a chance.

    WOW WTF! They re-edited the interview! When he said, "no the quds forces" trump didn't just say, "yeah yeah right" he said "oh i'm sorry i misheard you, i thought you said kurds (laugh)" This is crazy, i can't believe they manipulated the sound bite just to try and make him look bad…

    I mean now they are doing it so blatantly that anyone who isn't in the know will just take it at face value and believe he literally thought one was the other… CNN You should be ashamed of yourself for intentionally re-editing the flow of the interview just to make a candidate look bad! I dont care if you dont like him or not this is down right UNETHICAL journalism!

    People think its funny and it is.Trump is funny.If it was a SNL skit,I'd be laughing my ass off.But it isnt.He doesnt know what he's talking about.Thats the reality.Now, I along with about two thirds of the population already knew that Trump was not Presidential material before I heard his answers to Hewitt,so will the remaining one third please catch up and dispatch this idiot back to Trump Tower once and for all.Thank you.We have an excellent candidate already who is not part of the political class, and her name is CARLY FIORINA.She does know what shes talking about and she most certainly is Presidential material.We dont need this guy.Get him out of here.

    Many of the party's bigwig donors opposed Donald Trump and they told Hewitt to ask him that in order to trip him up.
