The Donald Shames The Doubters: ‘My Life Has Been About Winning’

Donald Trump is in to win it. So much so that during an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, he had a special message for all those who doubted him during this presidential campaign: he’s a winner.

Just weeks away from the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primaries, Trump is in prime position to seal the nomination—and may just pull off what everyone in the permanent political class in Washington, D.C., and on the island of Manhattan thought was impossible.

“My life has been about winning. I like to win. I like to close the deal,” Trump said when asked Monday afternoon what he thinks of all the people this whole election cycle who thought he wasn’t a serious presidential candidate.

“I’ve had that kind of a life—I’ve built a great company. And don’t forget when I filed the papers, everybody said ‘wow, that’s much more than we thought’ when I filed my federal papers on financials because it’s over $10 billion, substantially over $10 billion in net worth. I started with a very small amount of money and grew it into something that’s massive, one of the big fortunes, and I want to use that same brainpower—that same ability—to make our nation great again. We’ll be able to do it. The people are so amazing. The thing I have been most impressed with during my trips all over is just how smart the public is. They’re incredible. They really, really get it. So, I’m honored by your question actually because you’re right a lot of people said ‘oh, he’s never going to run and if he runs he’ll just have fun for a little while.’ This is not fun. I want to do something and our theme is Make America Great Again and that’s what we’re going to do.”

His life has been about handouts, keeping his families money growing, and failing at every other venture he starts. Weak

Winning: having multiple corporate bankruptcies and not losing any personal money.

10:12 Name at least 5 "ventures" he has failed that he started. Your on the clock. Then name me all the "ventures" he has WON. I am sure he has WON many more than he has lost.

He said it in an interview with Barbara Walters about filing bankruptcy. He said it's business and he did nothing wrong, he followed the laws on the books to his advantage. Do you think he is the only person that has ever done this? We have one right here in Wicomico County that went neck deep in debt, filed bankruptcy and changed the name of his business many times and kept right on doing business...legally.
