Trump Said in 1999 That He was 'Better Than Any of Those A**holes Who are Running' ...

The first set of excerpts 'leaked' to Axios' Mike Allen, who writes that Trump's 'quest' for the presidency was, at least, 17 years long.

Stone recalls a scene from Trump Tower in September 1999, when the prominent real estate investor bemoaned the country's choice between Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore.

'The one thing I know is that I'm better than any of those a**holes who are running,' Trump said at the time.

Trump had been poring through the morning newspapers and predicted the match would be between Gore and Bush.

'They are both absolutely terrible – just terrible,' Stone said. 'What's going on in this country?'

What happened next was important.

 'He looked me squarely in the eyes and, with a hint of a smile, said: "Roger, I want to take the next step. I want to see if Donald Trump can win the White House,"' Stone wrote.
