Ben Stein Will Vote for Donald Trump

Former Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein shared his views on Donald Trump with The Guardian. Some excerpts:

“He is not a great businessman. He inherited a great deal of money. He did some successful real estate deals. Hardly anyone could miss doing successful real estate deals in New York considering the incredible boom that has taken place and the very low base point when he started out. He is not a great businessman at all – in no way.”

“I’ll vote for him, by the way. I’ll vote for him because I think he does personify a kind of national pride which I think has been lacking in the Obama days and would be terribly lacking under Bernie Sanders and terribly lacking under Hillary Clinton. But I think his economics is way, way out of whack and he seriously needs some education about it.”

“I don’t think Trump knows a goddamn thing about economics. But I like him anyway, I might add.”
