I spent, by the way he spent 18 million dollars worth of negative ads on me. Thats putting (MUFFLED)
RYAN: This is about ISIS. You would not use a tactical nuclear weapon against ISIS?...
TRUMP: Ill tell you one thing, this is a very good looking group of people here. Could I just go around so I know who the hell Im talking to?

However he does rather seem like a compulsive liar, so ... never know.
If anyone ever brings this little conversation back up to him he's going to be all 'Go back and listen, I answered the question already! Truth is, that reporter was boring me, and he looked funny, not very attractive. So I wanted to talk the other group of better-looking people that were there!'

(469 posts)If either of our fine Democratic candidates wins the Presidency, we have a pretty good idea about what he or she will do while in office. Can we say the same about Drumpf? Does HE even have a vague idea about what he'll actually do while in office, aside from "Making America Great Again"? ... whatever THAT means!
