Ron Paul: 'Explain to us why anyone would care' about Trump endorsement By Justin Sink - 02/02/12 01:37 PM ET Ron Paul is not impressed by Mitt Romney earning Donald Trump's expected endorsement for president. The Texas congressman's campaign circulated a press release to reporters Thursday heralding Trump's 2010 endorsement of Senate Majority Leader — and Democrat — Harry Reid, calling Trump's latest endorsement "delicious irony." "Please explain to us why anyone would care," the release reads. "Please explain to Republican voters in Nevada why they should consider the opinion of a billionaire from New York who endorsed the arch enemy of all Republicans in Nevada, and really the enemy of all Republicans in the US." Paul's campaign then details a series of Trump donations to prominent Democrats, including Sen. John Kerry (Mass.), Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and Rep. Charles Rangel (N.Y.). The Romney campaign confirmed to The Hill earlier Thursday that Trump is expected to endorse the former governor at a rally in Las Vegas. The reality show star was at one time flirting with entering the GOP race on his own, but ultimately decided to return to hosting "The Apprentice." The Gingrich campaign has not commented on the endorsement. Reports from Nevada Wednesday night had the former Speaker's staff expecting Trump to endorse him, only to have reports that Romney was the choice trickle out Thursday morning. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) called the endorsement "a non-news event" and mocked both for making millions "firing people" during an interview Thursday morning. "It really wouldn't be surprising if Donald Trump supports Mitt Romney, because they both like firing people and they've both made millions doing it," Wasserman Schultz said on MSNBC. "Donald Trump is such a cartoon character, an endorsement no matter who he chooses is like Bugs Bunny making an endorsement." thehill.com
