A vice president from Donald Trump’s empire jetted into Iowa this morning. Iowa GOP chairman Matt Strawn walked out to the Trump plane for a very brief meeting, then Michael Cohen (executive vice president and special counsel to Trump) spoke to a small group of reporters. AUDIO: Remarks by Cohen 6 min. Here’s the Radio Iowa story.
…Trump, a real estate developer who is the star of a reality show on network television, has been a target of comedians like David Letterman, who once joked he knew Trump was serious about running for president because he “threw his hair in the ring.”
Trump’s vice president bristles at the suggestion Trump is unelectable because he’s been the butt of those kind of jokes.
“As is President Obama, as well as Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, Pawlenty, Sarah Palin — I believe they’ve all been made fun of,” Cohen said. “That’s what the press does. They like to have fun with anyone and everyone.”
UPDATE: a reader of the blog emails about the “small” Trump plane that landed in DSM today.
It’s a Boeing 727–100. Hard to know how it’s been revamped by the Trump folks with hot tubs or whatever, but the original jet seated 94 passengers.
