Potential presidential candidate Donald Trump says he's a better businessman than a leading GOP hopeful in 2012, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. 

Trump tells CNN's "State of the Union" that he has a "much, much bigger net worth. I mean my net worth is many, many, many times Mitt Romney." 

Trump describes Romney as a "small business guy." Trump says he's created thousands of jobs and built a "great company." 

Romney is a former venture capitalist with a record of turning around failing companies. While heading Bain Capital, he helped launch the Staples office supply chain, as well as buy Domino's Pizza. Romney invested more than $40 million of his own money in the 2008 race.

Student video touts Mitt Romney for president

Romney "stands as the most qualified Republican candidate due in large measure to his career as a leader in both the public and private sectors," says Garrett Sweitzer, a Vanderbilt University junior who is a founder and chairman of the student group.

Sweitzer says the group has supporters on about 40 campuses in 25 states.

The video was produced by Thomas Tatum, a graduating senior at Boston College, who said his intent was to show "the real concerns of real students preparing for graduation in May and June into an economy made uncertain by the economic policies of the Obama administration."

Students for Mitt Romney is actually formed as a political action committee that can make independent expenditures that aren't coordinated with the candidate. The group has a Facebook page here.
