星巴克前ceo计划2020年取代特朗普
Billionaire former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said in a TV interview that he is looking into running against Donald Trump in 2020 as an independent presidential candidate.
星巴克前CEO霍华德·舒尔茨在一个电视访谈节目中表示，2020年他将作为独立总统候选人与特朗普竞争。
"I am seriously thinking of running for president," Schultz told the CBS news show "60 Minutes" late Sunday.
The self-described "lifelong Democrat" said he "will run as a centrist independent outside of the two-party system."
According to Schultz, 65, "We're living at a most fragile time."
Not only is Trump "not qualified to be the president," but Republicans and Democrats "are consistently not doing what's necessary on behalf of the American people and are engaged, every single day, in revenge politics."
Schultz grew up in a working class neighborhood in New York City, but made his fortune when he moved to the northwestern state of Washington in the 1980s and built Starbucks into a global coffee shop behemoth.
Schultz blamed both parties for the country's $21.5 trillion debt, which he portrayed as "a reckless example" of the "failure of their constitutional responsibility."
