Trump: I think Obama is doing very well

King: What's your read on how the president is doing?

Trump: I think he's really trying. He inherited a mess. Mr. Bush gave him a total mess, but he's really trying hard. I think he's doing as well as can be expected thus far, and I think, ultimately, he will be successful.

King: Is there anything he isn't doing he should do?

Trump: Well, the word, "stimulus," is probably not used in its fullest, Larry, when he's -- you know, certain of the things that were given weren't really stimulus. They were pork, as we call it, or they were gifts to certain people.

But overall, I think he's doing very well. You do need stimulus and you do have to keep the banks alive.
