14 stinging takedowns of Donald Trump for saying he could run for office in Europe

We’re not entirely sure what world Trump inhabits, but we’re certain it isn’t this one, as he constantly comes up with outrageous claims that don’t stand up to scrutiny. How could we forget his insistence that his inauguration drew the biggest crowd in history, or the extra floors he routinely claims for Trump Tower? Now, in an interview, he claimed that he could be the most popular man in Europe if he wanted to – and could run for any office.
