?itok=6hspUJe2Real estate mogul Donald Trump said on Sunday he is not intimidated by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, given his fellow GOP presidential candidates handling of the Badger State.
Well, Im not worried because his state is really in trouble, Trump told host George Stephanopoulos on ABCs This Week.
I mean, its a fantastic place, he said. I love the people of Wisconsin, but if you look at whats going on, they have a $2.2 billion deficit. They were supposed to have a surplus of $1 billion and they have $2.2 billion.
Theres tremendous divisions throughout the state, Trump added. He stopped a lot of work because he didnt want to raise taxes. So instead of raising taxes, hes borrowing to the hilt and his state is overleveraged.
Trump then argued Walkers handling of Wisconsin is proof he would fare no better managing the U.S.

(13,877 posts)6. Mostly agree...maybe it's because Trump really excels at it.
I haven't seen one from Bernie, thus far. When he smiles, it doesn't say the same thing, maybe.
