The real estate magnate trumpeted his own achievements improving an ice-skating rink in New York City’s Central Park, reported The _Hill,_ and mentioned his own plans to turn the Old Post Office in Washington, D.C. into a “tremendous hotel.” “We need to make our country rich again,” Trump said at the event, which also featured Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. Trump said he is “taking a hard look” at making another presidential bid in 2016. \[[The Hill](http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/203406-trump-politicians-all-bullsht "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/60482/donald-trump-politicians-2016/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/60482/donald-trump-politicians-2016/"},"headline":"Donald Trump: Politicians 'All Bull****'","datePublished":"2014-04-12T18:29:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:16:48.605Z","description":"Taking a potshot at the profession he may wish to join","url":"https://time.com/60482/donald-trump-politicians-2016/","keywords":["2016 presidential election","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltee93cfb8f23f3970/69868a68cd684808a60941d6/2014-04-12t162259z_628664891_gm1ea4d00.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltee93cfb8f23f3970/69868a68cd684808a60941d6/2014-04-12t162259z_628664891_gm1ea4d00.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump speaks at the inaugural Freedom Summit meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire","caption":"Businessman Donald Trump speaks at the inaugural Freedom Summit meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire","creditText":"Lucas Jackson—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-presidential-election/","name":"2016 presidential election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/60482/donald-trump-politicians-2016/","name":"Donald Trump: Politicians 'All Bull****'"}}]}] ```
