Donald Trump, on CNN’s “Larry King Live” tonight stated that he is supporting Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president.
McCain appears to be winning, and that Sen. Barack 0bama should have chosen Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate.
“I know John McCain, and John McCain's a great guy, a tremendous guy,”
“I've known him for a long time. And I'm with him, and I'm with him based on the fact that I have great knowledge of John McCain. Also, this is not the right time for tax increases. And 0bama wants to increase your taxes drastically.”
0bama would repeal President Bush tax cuts for households making more than $250,000.
“I don't understand why Hillary wasn't chosen [for vice president],” Trump said. “ She was really winning. I have a friend that came to this country and was here for the last four weeks of that whole election. He said: How did she lose? She won every primary? He didn't understand it.
“The fact is, that 0bama went limping across the finish line. He should have chosen Hillary, It would have been a much different race, I believe. Right now, it looks to me like McCain is probably winning.”
TRUMP: I'm endorsing McCain. I am basically very strongly — you have to understand: I've known him. I like him, I respect him.
KING: So you're endorsing him?
TRUMP: I think he's going to be a great president.
KING: So you're endorsing him.
TRUMP: Sure, I'll endorse him on your show.
KING: You just endorsed him.
TRUMP: I endorse him.
