Today, Laura Ingraham had possible presidential candidate Donald Trump on her radio show, where the mogul and media personality was extremely open about his political views on a number of touchy subjects, like abortion and immigration.

Ingraham played Trump a couple clips of Jeb Bush and George W. Bush each discussing immigration and “nativism” (her new favorite topic of discussion, apparently), and seemed to want to color the brothers Bush’s talking points as being about “people like you (Trump).”

Trump bemoaned the U.S.’s lack of a firm stance on immigration and its relationship with China, telling Ingraham that “it almost seems like we’re becoming amorphous. It’s, like, do we have a country or not?” He added that, were he president, he would “announce, without equivocation, a 25% tax increase on anything purchased from China.”

He also made known his views on the Department of Education (In a nutshell: Do away with it, put education in the hands of local, state government) and abortion, much to Ingraham’s surprise:

Laura: “I’m hoping that you are going to seriously consider getting into the race, I mean you and I disagree on some social issues. I could have you on for an hour I just want to download everything that you think.”

Trump: “I know I would love to be on any time you want, but what social issues do we disagree on?”

Laura: “Pro-life, I think.”

Trump: “I’m pro-life.”

In his 2000 book, The America We Deserve, Trump wrote: “I support a woman’s right to choose, but I am uncomfortable with the procedures.”

Take a listen to the interview, via The Laura Ingraham Show:

Alex, did you mean “Department of Education” instead of “Board of Education?”

The other editors had mixed feelings about the idea when I brought it up during a meeting, so I think things will remain the same, at least for the time being.

Thanks for asking. Pardon my language, but sometimes the right word is the right word.

Please tell them that”s completely chickenshit on their part. They almost couldn’t publish their intellectual cowardice more overtly.

Again, thanks for asking.

Why would Trump run for president? He doesn’t know how to run a campaign. He doesn’t have a base of supporters. He’s been clowning on reality shows for years just to draw attention to himself.

“Why would Trump run for president? He doesn’t know how to run a campaign. He doesn’t have a base of supporters. He’s been clowning on reality shows for years just to draw attention to himself.”

—He knows how to run a business, manage money, make billions of dollars. What does Obama know? The law? Yeah, that’s just what Washington needed, another goddamm lawyer and community radicalizer. Google “Obama money” and see how his base is expecting a government handout. Shameless.

I think what’s more interesting in this clip is what his plan would be regarding businesses working with China as opposed to the ‘abortion’ comments. He’s basically saying he still respects a woman’s right to choose and that’s important.

I think Trump running would make things extremely interesting.
