Donald Trump says he'd "love" to include former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in his cabinet if he is elected president.

Asked on Sarah Palin's Mama Grizz Radio's "The Palin Update with Kevin Scholla" whether he'd tap Palin for a role in his administration, Trump responded "I'd love that."

"She really is somebody that knows what's happening. She's a special person, she's really a special person," he said. "She's got a following that's unbelievable."

Trump noted that both he and Palin are targets of intense scrutiny from political foes and said that he admires the former Alaska governor's talent for taking criticism in stride.

"One of things I most admire so much about her is that she took so much nonsense, lies, disgusting lies," he said. "And she handles it so well. She's tough and smart and just a great woman."
