    Kinda....

    New York real estate developer Donald Trump says he has decided “in my mind” to run for president, yet won’t make an official announcement before the season finale of his reality television show later this month.

    “In my mind, I have already decided,” Trump, 64, said in a telephone interview today. “I am going to announce. But I can’t do anything until the show ends.

    Trump said he will focus on “making our country rich and respected,” by creating jobs, boosting the economy and stopping China and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries from taking advantage of the U.S.

    “The OPEC nations will be acting much differently, and fuel prices will go down and the economy will become strong again,” Trump said. “They may like me or not like me, but nobody will be ripping us off.”
    Bloomberg

    The current run of The Apprentice pays Donald Trump $3 million per episode. If Trump declares before the show ends the Federal Elections Commission will probably declare each episode of The Apprentice to be a campaign commercial--hence NBC would be required to give the president a one-hour campaign commercial for each episode of Trump's show, and to pay the president $3 million for being in them.....

    They obviously do not want to do this, so the second Trump declares, he is no longer a TV Reality Show Star....Whaaaa...

    Yes, this is well known that if he declares, it won't be till after the show ends.

    Your point?

    The first real GOP candidate to announce isn't news anymore?


    Not that I think Trump has a chance, but as a PR move, it maybe brilliant..

    Reminds me of that bit in "Good Morning, Vietnam" where Lt. Hauk, after bombing incredibly and being canned, says: "Sir, in my heart... I know I'm funny." Trump and Hauk have a lot in common.

    Trump is all about PR and his trumped up ego. Like I said before, I think this is just a publicity stunt for him and that he wont put his hat in the ring. If he does though, I will consider voting for him.

    How does it feel to realize you aren't as smart as you thought you were?

    Did it force you to overcompensate?

    Trump's multiple bankruptcies match Noot 's multiple divorces as disqualifications.

    Trump knew he couldn't backup his bull , esp about how much money he has and why his money qualifies him better to be Pres than Willard's money.

    it's just a business decision. No way in he could even compete and he knows it. But he could strike a few business deals on the way to failure

    No. He was never going to run. He just wanted to get his name in the papers. Mission accomplished.

    Oh noes, who will you vote for now?

    Obama's PWN job trumped Trump's troll job. Dude was on his knees digging for fool's gold while Obama was killing the most wanted man in the world. Trump is all bark, no bite - so there's no comparison.

    No, he's used to being rich. He would have to let others manage his investments and take a serious pay cut. Besides, be has too much fun with the TV series.

    Why are you always so critical of other in a negative way. Isn't there any open-mindedness in you?

    I'd sure hate to live in your box.
