Sorry, America, Donald Trump is not running for President.
Real estate mogul and reality TV host Trump has decided not to seek the Republican nomination for the presidential race in 2012, he announced Monday.

"After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency," Trump said. With his usual hubris he continued. “This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country.
Despite a skewering by President Obama at the White House Correspondents Dinner, and a backlash that included sponsors pulling their ads from his television show after comments he made about Obama that some deemed racist, Trump said he believed he would have won the nomination and the presidency.

"I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election. I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly.
“Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector."

Trump has a serious "Blow Job Mouth". My guess is that he's into barely legal Mail Room boys. He probably likes to suck but not swallow.

I knew it. I think most of use knew all along this guy had absolutely no ambition to run. Sometimes I think he was paid by the Democrats to stir things up within the GOP/tea bagger parties.

The man is a LIAR. It's like his combover is his Pinocchio nose. The longer the combover strands the more lies he has told. Did anyone hear the interview with Anderson Cooper? Bold faced lies.

Actually the GOP asked him to change his hairstyle and then they would have considered getting behind him.

Like most of us already knew, he was just show boating, as usual. The guy creeps me out.

I said on here yesterday not to worry because he would not be running. I think he was just feeling the waters in case he wanted to run sometime in the future plus he's not really that popular.

was there ever any doubt he wouldn't run and this was all for publicity for himself and the show and nothing more. he didn't stand a chance in winning.
