Donald Trump has charged that under President Barack Obama's leadership, the US is "going to hell".
In March, the Celebrity Apprentice star expressed doubts as to whether Obama was born in the United States and thus suggested that the leader might not be eligible for high office.
While being interviewed on NBC's Today Show, the possible Republican presidential candidate claimed that Obama's policies are to blame for the country's economic woes.
"I wish this country was running so great and I wish Obama was the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln," Trump said. "I wish this was the greatest place in the world."
The mogul continued: "What we're doing is unbelievable. If you look at what's going on, where our jobs are disappearing to foreign countries… you're going to be paying $7 (£4.29) or $8 (£4.91) a gallon for your oil very soon... I blame a lot of it [on Obama]."
Trump also declared that Obama's sole significant political accomplishment was being elected in 2008.
"I think the thing that he did best of all is get elected. He ran an unbelievable campaign," he added. "I want him to do well... I love this country. But this country is going to hell."
The star has previously claimed that he will make his final decision about mounting a presidential bid before June.
The Celebrity Apprentice airs on Sundays on NBC.
