California Gov. Jerry Brown said that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s idea to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border is “absolutely preposterous.”
“It would create such tension with our closest neighbor that, probably, a dumber idea I can’t imagine,” Brown said Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg News.
Brown, who has run for president three times unsuccessfully, added that he is “not particularly” interested in a vice presidential job should the eventual Democratic nominee ask. He also is not supporting any of the current presidential candidates.
“We have a crisis of governance in the face of an increasingly difficult and dangerous world, and people are upset,” Brown said. “The campaigns and the candidacies are not all that inspiring.”
Brown also added that “anyone can win this thing,” before hammering Democrats and Republicans in Washington for being so divided.
The full interview is set to air Friday at 12 p.m. Eastern time.
