2000s: 'Apprentice' Helps Donald Trump Finally Launch A White House Bid | NBC News

"Hillary Clinton looked fantastic" oh how that echos in my head

[cvg]

So we just gonna ignore one of the biggest victories in his life when he won the "Battle of the Billionaires" at Wrestlemania?

[dedpxl]

"hillary clinton looked fantastic" such a bizarre thing to hear from his mouth in this day and age.

[mattp]

This is back when Jay Z, AL Sharpton, Oprah, and a ton of other people that say he is "racist" used to kiss his a$$.

[damienmiller]

He kinda looks like Owen Wilson, I think he could play Trump in the movie that will inevitably be made

[UnrealOG]

"They won't be laughing if I'm president"

This aged like milk.

[phuongdh]

Looks like Owen Wilson will be busy when those biopics start filming.

[daywalker]

"they won't be laughing, if I'm president" LOL

[FindTheFun]

"Well I'm gonna fill out the absentee ballot"
The past is almost too cruel

[milanpenk]

"they won't be laughing, if I'm president" that aged well

[human]

Trump looking at Obama insulting him thinking; 'You'll eat your words in 4 years time'

[saikyk]

He went from liberal to one of the most hated conservatives. Character development? Good or bad you decide.

[mehp]

That White House correspondent’s dinner was his origin story. Look at how he rocks back and forth at the humiliation.

[nyrbsamoht]

its funny that they didnt show obamas joke about trump never being president.

[jacirasantanna]

They all loved him until he decided to do in politics.

[wheneverwherever]

I would have loved to see Trump debate Obama. That would be amazing.

[Vagineer]

I came from the future to tell you guys that Trump is officially becoming the POTUS in January 2017

[timarchnase]

"The world laughs at us, they won't be laughing when I'm president"

good one

[Tenkaichibudokai]

If you follow his interviews closely, ever since the 70s and even though he was always consistent in saying he “didn’t want to” it becomes clear that the dream of his life had always been to become President of The United States and he was preparing the whole time for it.

[ketsuppi]

“The world laughs at us, if I’m president they won’t anymore” Oh donald if only you knew
