Trump said state-run casinos are not a cure-all for government deficits, as has been proposed for Chicago, and that “gaming is a mixed blessing,” bringing with it problems with crime and gambling addiction. The Confederate flag, he added, “should be in the museum.” Yet his next public-relations flap might be with the Saudi military. Trump said Saudi Arabia is third in the world in military spending, but added, “I don’t know if these soldiers are gonna run if there’s a shot fired.”
Trump went on to answer questions from the audience, where he said dismantling Obamacare and fixing the “disaster” Environmental Protection Agency are some of his top priorities. He also said he wouldn’t “choke” the way Mitt Romney had if he snags the Republican nomination.
“I think Mitt Romney’s a really nice guy, but I was so disappointed with his performance,” Trump said. “He should have won that election.”
Trump added that President Barack Obama was on more television shows than Romney before the election.
