The Donald: "I screwed Gadhafi"

TRENDING: Trump: I 'screwed' Gadhafi
mug.mooney By: CNN Political Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) – Donald Trump, whose flirtations with a presidential bid continue, says he has special experience dealing with Libyan leader Moammer Gadhafi.

Speaking on Fox News Monday, Trump says he has more of a track record than anyone in the Republican presidential field when it comes to dealing with foreign leaders and dignitaries: "I sell them real estate for tremendous amounts of money. I mean, I've dealt with everybody."

Trump, who has said he will decide on a presidential bid by June, said he is particularly happy with the fact he "screwed" Gadhafi on a past real estate deal.

"I rented him a piece of land. He paid me more for one night than the land was worth for two years, and then I didn't let him use the land," Trump boasted. "That's what we should be doing. I don't want to use the word 'screwed', but I screwed him."

14. Bingo! We have a winner!
He's noticed how much cash Palin in socking away, and his TV show ratings continue their downward spiral.

This is about money, not the White House. Guys like Trump are dictators, and they would NEVER be able to coexist with even a friendly Congress and Senate, plus the noses of world leaders further up his ass than Tony Blair's was up Dubya's.

The RW meme that top political leaders need to be top business people is complete crap.

15. Gotta love that sophisticated tactful diplomacy that Trump displays.
That's how he'll get this country back to "Number One".

Screw any country that screws with us.

if, and I stress the word "if" he is serious about this presidential bid, he'll be blown out of the water because of his stupid comments.

30. In the contest for the least presidential Republican candidate
we have three contenders thus far -- Sarah dearie, Trumpifier and a preacher. What a choice?

Neither Newt nor Pawlenty have any appeal at all.

Now if we could only get a real Democrat to run, we could change America for the better.
