Trump said he was upset that President Barack Obama did not return his calls about a free ballroom he offered to build. He said that he offered between $50 million and $100 million to the White House to build it but he never heard back.
He also made a strange statement about how he wants the U.S. to go back to Iraq to take some oil.
"That's the problem with our country," Trump said.
He also said he was only for the Iraq War because he was under the impression that it was fought for oil. Now, he wants to go back to get oil.
"I say we should take it and pay ourselves back," Trump said.
Some choice reaction:
I feel dumber for having listened. Applause is ended before he leaves the stage.

Donald Trump prescribes "fixing the economy" as the solution to America's current problems. Brilliant!

Donald Trump at CPAC? So this is what Shakespeare was warning us about the Ides of March.

So is this the last time we all have to talk about Donald Trump for awhile? You know he draws strength from our tweets.
