With his poll numbers up, the perpetual publicity hound sought to gain further traction Sunday by attacking his hometown - dismissing LaGuardia Airport as "Third World."

"You land your plane at LaGuardia Airport, you go to LaGuardia Airport, it's like a Third World airport," Trump scoffed on CNN's "State of the Union."

Trump also hammered at his putative competitor Mitt Romney Sunday - boasting that he was richer than Romney.

"I'm much bigger than this man and have a much, much bigger net worth," Trump scoffed. "I mean my net worth is many, many, many times Mitt Romney."

Trump claims that if he decides to run and is forced to fully reveal his much-questioned actual worth, people will be surprised at how strong his finances are.
