Trump Says He’s Serious This Time

Donald Trump “has long resisted calls for him to run for president” but tells Robert Costa that, at age 67, he’s considering a bid.

Said Trump: “I’m looking. I have a large following of people who are tired of seeing this country ripped off, and taken advantage of [by] everyone who does business with us. We used to be the smart one of the block, and now we’re the dummies on the block. They want to see me, and I want to see them.”

“Trump cautions that it’s early. But for the first time in his life, he’s preparing to potentially put his business work on hold. Behind the scenes, he’s examining how his family could manage his operations on an interim basis, should he decide to run.”
