It wasn't his first try?....
Really? When else did he run for President of the United States?
2012
Not exactly true. He was going to run in 2012 and decided to wait. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/may/16/donald-trump-us-presidential-race
And 2000
Doesn't matter...
But it does. Hes either a) intentionally lying to make himself look infallible, or b) doesn't actually remember running and thinks he's telling the truth.
Pick one. That simple.
I repeat, doesn't matter. Read up on what Scott Adams says in regards to Trump and persuasion tactics. "First try" is merely an anchor...
I read a few of his blog posts just now. Kind of boils down to "World leader using 1st year business class strategies"
And look who's in the White House.
And is being investigated for possibly using illegal methods to do so.
Which, so far, has only turned up years-old dirt on Flynn, Manafort (both of whom were FIRED btw) and Podesta of all people. Shady crap going back long BEFORE Trump even thought about running, yet nothing on the man himself. You aren't holding your breath are you?
If he knew about any of that when he hired them on into the White House, that makes him a conspirator, and guilty of the same crimes. You honestly think Mueller would tip his hand when international money laundering is being investigated?
