Billionaire real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump has declared he wants to be president of the United States.
Mr Trump said he was the very definition of the American success story and that the only solution to America's current woes was Donald Trump.
His speech announcing his candidacy was strong on populist language and simple solutions.
China
"When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let's say China, in a trade deal? They kill us.
I beat China all the time, all the time, all the time.
Hey, I'm not saying they're stupid. I like China. I just sold an apartment for $15 million to somebody from China.
But their leaders are much smarter than our leaders."
Mexico
It was not just the Chinese he had a go at, declaring that Mexico only sent drug dealers and its other problems north of the border.
"I will build a great, great wall on our southern border — nobody builds walls better than me, and I build them expensively — and I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.
They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards and they tell us what we are getting."
Islamic State
"Nobody would be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump, nobody.
I'm in competition with them. They just built a hotel in Syria — can you believe this?
When I have to build a hotel, I pay interest. They don't have to pay interest because they took the oil that when we left Iraq I said we should've taken."
The Donald, as he is popularly known, announced he had a total net worth of more than $US8.7 billion — double the Forbes estimate of $US4.1 billion.
Waving a piece of paper with details of his fortune, Mr Trump said the election would be decided on competency.
"I'm not doing that to brag. I'm doing that to say that's the kind of thinking our country needs.
We have people who are morally corrupt. We have people who are selling our country down the drain. I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created."
The funny thing though is he's serious... how can a dope like this even get to the starting gate?

Trump is doing as well as he is because he is saying exactly what the Idiot American 10% is thinking. Trump will do well in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina then bomb, drop out of the race and form a third party, raise a ton of money and continue to scam people.
Dear lefties, please revel in having to view no listen to the likes of Trioli and every other bitching, whining left wing luvvie.
This is a real woman, not a fake inner city living hacktivist keyboard warrior economic illiterate.

Yeah, I saw that ^^^ being passed around. It isn't even from a real news channel like FOX She does have the looks and lack of brains that FOX looks for so I can imagine her having a great career telling the Idiot 10% what they want to hear.
What is it that you perceive that she has a "lack of brains" other than your lefty inferiority complex?
Or are you that deluded you actually think that the democrats are succeeding with their Middle East policy?
It's pretty ironic that you label her brainless, yet she has managed to erudite the failure of Obamas Middle East policy and appeasement of Muslims while attacks continue to escalate while you haven't even been able to offer a small forum anything other than ducking and weaving around your leftist totalitarian leanings.
