“He grew up and nobody knew him. You know! When you interview people, if ever I got the nomination, if I ever decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They’ll remember me. Nobody ever comes forward about Obama. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It’s very strange. The whole thing …

After spending some time mocking the president, last night Donald Trump announced that loony tunes libertarian Ron Paul is unelectable. Gawker reacts: Trump apparently isn’t very familiar with Republican conferences or early presidential straw polls.
