Trump endorsed Obama, by the way.

No he didn't - he endorsed McCain. He'd been for Hillary. And check out what a prick Trump is in the quote below.

<http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/09/18/lkl.donald.trump/>

I had a friend that put a tremendous amount of money about a year ago into AIG. Smart guy, well-known, you know him very well, very rich. He said, Donald, I want security. He got wiped out, got totally wiped out.

Now, not all of his money, but he lost everything he put into AIG. I called him, Larry, I gave him a very hard time, I really did laugh. He wasn't laughing, however.

King: You enjoy that, Trump.

Trump: I do love it, I actually do. I can only love it when it's a great friend, Larry.

King: I know, this is something you're not. So try to put yourself in their shoes, the average American family, average guy. ...

Trump: Well, it's both a very tough time and a great opportunity. There are great opportunities right now for people when you say average family. It's an unbelievable time to buy a house and especially if a bank happens to own it because they've put the money in so it's not a question of getting financing.

The money is already there. Go out and make a deal. The banks want to unload their stock. They have thousands and millions of houses. Go out, see what they have, get yourself a great house, they will give you financing.

King: Obama or McCain, who would handle this better?

Trump: Well, I know John McCain, and John McCain's a great guy, a tremendous guy. I've known him for a long time. And I'm with him, and I'm with him based on the fact that I have great knowledge of John McCain. Also, this is not the right time for tax increases and Obama wants to increase your taxes drastically. So this is not ...

King: In all fairness, he says he doesn't.

Trump: This is not the right time.

King: Obama said 95 percent would be reduced under his plan.

Trump: Well, I'll tell you, the people that create the jobs and the people that really create a lot of things in the country, they're going to be taxed into oblivion. And I'm not even sure when you look really at his tax, I think everybody's going to be taxed a lot more. So I like the fact that taxes won't be raised under McCain.

King: Have you formally endorsed the ticket?

Trump: No, but I'm endorsing McCain. I am basically very strongly -- you have to understand, I've known him, I like him, I respect him.
