Greg Gutfeld: Trump Claims That Everybody Wants Him To Run, But Nobody Does!

Video
» 40 comments

Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld appeared with Don Imus this morning and discussed the origin of his political leanings and how he comes up with topics for his daily late night show. Gutfeld admitted it’s likely unavoidable that he will have to talk about potential Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump since he dominates so much of the headlines, yet Gutfeld made it clear he’s not ready to take Trump seriously.

Gutfeld evaluated the desirability of a Trump campaign:

“He keeps saying that everybody wants him to run. Nobody does! He’s the only one that’s saying it. Everybody else is just covering him distracting everybody.”

Gutfeld also compared President Obama to the country’s stepfather and Trump as the jealous birth father who is eager to say anything bad about the stepfather just to win back some attention. Although Gutfeld joked that the stepfather might deserve it, since “he is from Kenya, let’s be honest.”

In unrelated news, Imus responded to a claim by Bill Maher that Imus was at one time “beyond Charlie Sheen crazy on coke.” Imus laughed at the comparison and shared the fact that he remembers hooking up Maher with NBC Pages so he could “get laid.” Talk about a weird war of words, who knows what secret Maher or Imus might reveal about one another next?

    Trump is the biggest flip flopper in history. Romney has flipped less and that’s saying something.

    Obama has flopped way, way, way more and that speaks volume of the state of the democrat party today.

    Hint….it’s not good.

    If trump’s stupid hairpiece slid to one side too far and caused him to fall off of a cliff to his death the police wouldn’t have to clear much of an area for his mourners! But writers for comedians always need a project and that is why I agree with you Alice67.

    Talk about a weird war of words, who knows what secret Maher or Imus might reveal about one another next?

    Thing is, Imus has cleaned up his act and made positive contributions to society. Surely there are stories to be told about Maher being a gluttonous jackass last week.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    I hate Dims, but I must admit Trumps act is getting old. Time for him to go away.
    He has never had any serious intent to run. PT Barnum re-incartnation!

  • black and WHITE

    I would say the jury is still out on whether us ” real ” Americans actually want Trump to run for president, as our guy.

    Him running roughshod over the alleged president, as well as running static ( taking the left wing zealots abuse ) while the other Republican hopefuls hone their messages and prepare to enter the frey is welcome by all and a priceless asset to the cause.

    Trump has single mouthedly knocked Humpty Dumpty ( Obama ) down off his ‘ high & mighty ‘ wall in under 5 weeks.

    So no matter what one personally thinks of The Donald, he is a ” real ” American, warts and all, that has done a service to America that will become much more evident as Obama’s number continue to fall until they’ve sunk below the point of no return.

    The way it looks today, that’ll probably only take another 5 weeks……God willing.

  • Nacho

    When somebody calls and tells Trump about this Trump will respond, “Greg Who?”

  • skyfet

    Gutfeld is wrong, the Birthers would love him to run. He is their ideal candidate.

    I’ll let them speak for themselves, hey Birthers tell him. ahhhhhhhhhhh

    You guys would vote for Obama running against Obama if the bizarro Obama had an R after his name instead of a D. Exact same policies and all. You’d be calling Obamacare “the greatest affirmation of the private insurance market ever” then too.

    Give us someone serious on the R team. Please. Obama is a failed President. But not for all the reasons the crazy people cite. Please give us a sane choice this time. Please.

    With all due respect to Mr. Gutfeld, plenty of people want Trump to run for President. They are

    The liberals on MSNBC
    The liberals on CNN
    The liberals at the New York Times
    The liberals at CBS News
    The liberals at the Washington Post
    The liberals at The Nation
    The liberals at the Los Angeles Times
    The liberals at The Daily Kos
    The liberals at The Huffington Post
    The liberals at NBC
    The liberals at the San Francisco Chronicle
    The liberals on NPR
    And (of course) the liberals at Mediaite who have been flogging this Trump story to ridiculous extremes….

    If Greg Gutfeld wanted to be more accurate, he should say that no sensible person wants Trump to run for President.

    I know this is foreign concept to you being a leftist , but CPAC offers a wide variety of speakers that don’t always share every conservatives or republicans view , Ron Paul for example.

  • AngelPeters

    If Trump really thinks everyone wants him to run, not only is he a egomaniac, he is a really stupid one to boot.

    Every time I criticize Trump here, liberals rush to his defense. And simply thereby prove the point I am making.

    Not to the Donald’s defense.

    Rather, to ridicule any moron (R) who takes the Donald seriously. And there have been lots of those around here and on Fox recently.

    So, Felix, kindly shut up and follow the lemmings. OK?

    Obama’s balls are getting cold. You should go warm them up with all that hot air you bleat out. ( there is a Michelle Obama approved sugar free cookie in it for you)

  • labman57

    Trump has a fundamental character flaw shared by Palin and Bachmann — an arrogant aversion to doing his homework before making public proclamations concerning matters about which he is ignorant. All three alleged POTUS-wannabes appear to believe that if they say it is so, then it must be true, even when their inflammatory “insights” have been repeatedly refuted (refudiated?) by numerous independent sources.

    Why do I get the feeling that Trump has a bust of PT Barnum proudly displayed on his mantle? He seems to regard the vast majority of Americans as a bunch of suckers, eagerly clinging to every self-serving comment that he makes, regardless of whether his “insights” have any basis in fact.

    Leave it to Trump to promote his usual National Enquirer-esque, base, low-brow brand of political discourse.

    … 3 parts hyperbolic sensationalism, … 3 parts reality-devoid, fact-deficient rumor-mongering, … 4 parts grandiose self-promotion.

    I point out that whenever I criticize Trump, I get attacked by liberals. This happens time and again. They are providing all the wind — or rather hot air — in his sails.

    Two points, Felix.

    First, I don’t recall some of your other criticism of Trump. I am not saying you didn’t, I am just saying I don’t remember it, but I take your word saying you don’t think Trump is serious.

    The other point. You were insisting the birfher thing was pushed by the LBRUL media. Did you notice how other morons on Fox have jumped on the birfher bandwagon?
    Even Billdo, who said he is convinced there is nothing to the birfher issue, took a small jab saying something along “this all would go away if the president just shows his birth certificate”

    Where do you think those 47% of republican birfher morons get their “news”?

    I have made at least 30 or 40 comments critical of Donald Trump on this site in the last few weeks. And every comment attacking me has come from the left.

    Of course, you don’t need my experience to prove that the left wants to keep the Trump birther issue alive. Just look at the liberal media, that is giving more coverage to this issue than to the war, the economy and the deficit combined.

    As for people on Fox leaping on the birther bandwagon…I suggest you watch Fox more carefully. Bill O’Reilly has ardently defended Obama against birther charges, and both he and Glenn Beck have dismissed Trump as a serious candidate. But over at MSNBC, Trump gets ten times as much coverage as all of the rest of the pack combined. And the reason is obvious: the Left are Trump’s biggest fans, and don’t want to let the birther issue go away, because they are scared stiff of covering all the real news stories — the economy, the deficit, the border, the war, etc. — which are all toxic to the Democrats.

    RedEye Greg, I can’t believe you’re saying this about the Donald. You’re next on his list, Buddy.

  • dougx

    Trump has done more than 100,000 useless comedians. I want him to run. We need a strong businessman and tough negotiator at the helm.

    So that is why Fox news has The Trumpster on everyday??? I thought Fox was a conservative network.

    You spew that same lame bullshit post every two weeks lib-erace, so don’t act like you’ve actually put some effort in here, because you never do.

    I’m just glad you stop that stupid RINO shtick last week. It only took you what, 6 months.

    When you’re a one trick pony, and that one trick sucks, you really shouldn’t raise your expectations so high. You’ll be disappointed each & every time….trust me.

  • billwhit1357

    I hear Bill Maher and Greg Gutfield are both heavy into Male Homosexual Bondage too, but that is their private lives and should be left alone, or? At least Trump would make a better President than the Liar and UnAmerican Obama, any day of the week. Obama has proven he might make a good team leader of a toilet cleaning crew, but as a Leader of the Free World, Obama truly SUCKS! Anyone would make a better President than this Cracker Jack “No One Knows Who I Am and I Will Never Tell” A$$wipe, by the name of Obama! NOBAMA 2012!

    ALLEN WEST 2012! A proven Leader, Patriot, and a Born American with a REAL BC he will happily show, unlike the UnAmerican, UnChristian B. Hussein Obama!

    I had no idea Obama even had any balls! I mean, from the way he passes the buck, puts the blame on everyone and everything else, bows and grovels before our adversaries, Sucks Islamic penis when he can get it, he acts more like a girlyman than anything else, certainly does not act like a Leader, in any way, shape or form. Sometimes I wonder if those rumors about Obama and his boyfriend, in the back of a Limo, aren’t true. One day, he will have to come out of the closet on either his Islamic love or his homosexuality. NOBAMA 2012!

    ALLEN WEST 2012! A proven Leader, Patriot, and a Real American Man with a REAL Long Form BC, and one he is not afraid to show the American People, unlike Obama!
