Donald Trump Disses GOP 2012 Candidates (VIDEO)

And now, the Iowa analysis you've all been waiting for.

Donald Trump appeared on the Today Show to discuss the results of the Iowa caucus. His take?

"I'd like to see more enthusiasm," he said. "Nobody's breaking away from the pack. I mean, you had three people that were almost the same"

Still, he offered some praise for the highest-performing candidates.

"Santorum, he never gave up, it was amazing," he said. "Mitt Romney did great...he got 25% [of the votes], he has to go higher, he has to start breaking that 25% level."

He had less kind words for Ron Paul.

"I just don't think that's going to happen," he said.

Trump also hinted that he would endorse one of the GOP candidates soon.

"I'm going to be making that statement over the next couple of weeks," he said.

Does this mean any of the candidates that don't make it as the nominee will get strong consideration from Donald Trump to be the next contestants on his next show, maybe he should sign up Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, and put Rick Perry on notice?

He should be happy. A year from now they can all be third-tier "celebrities" on his NBC show.

This is the best reason to vote for Ron Paul. If Trump doesn't like him he must be GREAT!

Okay you convinced me. So I'll vote for Rosie O'Donnell. Trump Hates her. On the other hand, he also doesn't like Obama, so therefore Obama is GREAT and I'll stick to that for my vote.

I have to wonder what the combined costs are,for maintaining not only that thing on his head,but his ego? How many families could be fed,if he ended such expenditures?

I'd love to see the entire media apparatus just blacklist certain people...Trump of course,but other useless blowhards and self-inflated idiots as well,like Palin,just for starters.Unfortunately,the entire game is a self-perpetuating system of revenue for the media....

The Klowns spend more time on gays and abortion than they spend on the economy. What's wrong with this picture? That said, Trump needs far less exposure, his thoughts are garbled, his mission is to place himself on a pedestal and no one is buying but the media. Stop it!

Yep, remember in 2008 when all the republicans ran under "jobs, jobs, jobs" and won congress based on that. Then immediately set in on Obama's BC, gays in the military, gay marriage, and trying to make abortion illegal.....

Don't fall for what they say again people. What they say isn't what they (even try to) do.

I fell for it in the local elections. Voted for some republicans for their "jobs and the economy" speeches. Then after the election, they immediately set in against planned parenthood and trying to close down all the strip clubs.

Trump will be making his endorsement of a GOP candidate. We all wait with baited breath. NOT!

Maybe trump will threaten to jump into the race which no doubt would siphon off some of the right wing nut votes from the repub canidate and absolutely gurantee Obama's re elelection...then trump will "make a back room deal/ EXTORT" to not run in return for some big time favors from the repubs...

Never forget that first and foremost Trump is a shyster and is interested in how he can manipulate people to benefit TRUMP....

I for one would not put it past him at all.
