In the 90s, Trump interviewed w/a reporter on his NYC penthouse veranda. & in the interview, he talked ab how he floated the idea of running for president; & that, after weighing it carefully, he said that, between dem/repub, he would run as a republican, bc "Republicans are the stupidest voters out there", & that he could get them to believe anything he said & wanted.
No, I don't have it of the top of my head. But I watched a good part of the interview; & that's the part that stood out, for me. He was talking about his success in life & etc etc.
I legit remember seeing him say this, but searching the internet and I'm finding nothing on this. I remember him talking about possibly running and running as a Republican because it would be easier to do.
Yes, I saw (a good part of) the interview, too. In the 90s, I was considering possibly moving to NYC, & since it was about Trump, who I associated strongly w/businesses there, I watched it. Years later, I saw it again, replayed (within these past maybe few yrs). I bet he had it scrubbed from the internet or smthg.
