"Mr. Las Vegas" Wayne Newton said Tuesday that he likes all of the Republican slate of candidates, but his favorite by far is Donald Trump.
"Number one, he tells the truth," the famed entertainer told
Fox News' "Fox and Friends" program. "Number two, he doesn't have — he's been where most of these guys want to be in terms of riding on his own plane. He doesn't have to worry about what hotels he stays in. Doesn't have to worry about how his family gets to Hawaii, so on and so forth."
But that doesn't mean he doesn't think others, like Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio or Ben Carson would be bad presidents, he thinks all of them are "quality, quality people. The difference is, I think how many of them have been in the kind of war that this is going to get into if we don't get the right [person]."
Newton said he also likes Jeb Bush, as he campaigned for his father and brother, and thinks he'd make an "incredible president."
But as far as for President Barack Obama, Newton has commented in the past that he believes he will go down as "the worst president ever."
