Donald Trump participated in his third GOP presidential debate on Wednesday, and he was as controversial as ever. Check out the video below!
As Gossip Cop reported, the Republican debate was being held in Boulder, with Trump facing off against nine other candidates. Each had the opportunity to begin by revealing their biggest weakness, and Trump shared, “I trust people too much. I’m too trusting, and when they let me down, if they let me down, I never forgive. I find it very very hard to forgive people who deceive me.”
Trump then received the first personal question, getting asked, “Let’s be honest: Is this a comic-book version of a presidential campaign?” The candidate responded that it wasn’t a “very nicely” phrased query, and stood by the tenets of his platform, such as building a wall at the Mexican border. He and moderator John Harwood then repeatedly spoke over each other, setting a nasty tone just minutes into the proceedings.
Trump later turned to his focus to John Kasich, after the Ohio governor slammed him. “His poll numbers tanked, and that’s why he’s on the end,” said the mogul. “And he got nasty.” But Trump had to sit on the sidelines for the next 30 or so minutes, though, as the spotlight shone on the other candidates… for better and for worse.
The next question the former “Celebrity Apprentice” host faced was about his business bankruptcies, and he stressed that many entrepreneurs “use the chapter laws to their own benefit.” He went on to point out his success with his filings, and his personal net worth. “Boy, am I good at solving debt problems,” insisted Trump. “Nobody can solve them like me.”
Gossip Cop will continue to update throughout the rest of the debate, and have video of Trump’s highlights shortly after the event wraps up. Stay tuned!
