Trump was talking strategically, as in he honestly didn't think Ron could have won the election if he got the nomination. Thus given his unelectability (in Trump's opinion), and his "weak" position on Iran, would make voting for him a wasted vote. He was sizing him up as a viable national candidate, not dismissing him as a person. We can disagree with him on the merits, but the point is to keep all the facets of evaluating political candidates in mind, not just the positions.
1) He has never held any public office nor any military background. Only president-elect/president to do so.
2) Won't take a Presidents salary. JFK and Herbert Hoover did this. George Washington considered it.
3) Proposing term limits for Congressman. Ron Paul and Rand Paul proposed this.
So what's wrong with that?

I hope these Trump savants made good money on the predictions market when he was the longshot.
So far, everyone who has bet on Trump succeeding has won yuuuuuge.
And everyone who bet against him is in some stage of mental breakdown right now, including the entirely self-interested barbarian wretches who masquerade as liberty activists.
So what's wrong with that?
He will send everything to china before anyone can ask any questions.I agree. Rudy G. will clean up the mess. Just give him a chance.
Trump is helping us destroy the media credibility. The biggest reason why Ron Paul lost. Media Propaganda.
Didn't wikileaks expose the media?More than that, he has been the catalyst for the exposure of a lot more than the media - a whole host of bad actors have revealed themselves by their panicking and tantrums, including the GOP elite and their anarchist allies.
Let's start with he isn't president.
My take is that Trump is the alpha male that was ridiculed by those arrogant liberals and decided to Run for President. Like a smart man, like a great general, he plotted a strategy.
He saw Ron Paul being ignored by the media. He saw how Romney doesn't give a $#@! about Trump or Ron Paul. Trump saw that.
He trial a run in 2012 but because he is smart, he didn't see an opening. It was too soon. After 2012, he plotted some more and registered MAGA brand.
He polled the electorate and came up with immigration, security, obamacare.
He exposed the Media as corrupted shills.
He destroyed the Bushes.
He saw the Light.
He wants to drain the Swamp.
He triggered so many Liberals.
He is an alpha male who wants to write his name in the history books.
He is honest in his desire to do good. His ego requires it.
President-elect? I mean, if that's the best you got...
Best I've got? What does that mean?
What has DJT done as president that deserves praise or criticism?
So, yeah, he's not president, but he's the president-elect. Your point being...? If you want to say he's wrong, you're not being very convincing so far.
Don't have to be convincing. When he's president, we'll find out.
/facepalm
You just tried to tell people how he's wrong. If the one biggest way in which he's wrong is that DJT is not president, the you're more wrong than he is.
Don't play coy. Be a big boy and rise above these stupid word games. Not technically being president at this very moment doesn't really amount to any measurable way in which what the OP said was wrong.
