DONALD TRUMP is in “secret talks” to run for president in 2016 after a new national poll has him beating out top Republican names for the nomination.
The National ENQUIRER can reveal that the billionaire businessman – and star of NBC’s “The Apprentice” – is meeting with Washington, D.C., insiders clamoring for The Donald to take on expected Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House!
Even former doubters have woken up to the popularity of the real estate mogul, with Donald as the most popular candidate in a political survey that included top GOP contenders like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
“There is a groundswell of support from all across America for Donald Trump to run in 2016,” Michael Cohen, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, told The ENQUIRER. “If this poll is any indication, he’s already trounced Jeb Bush, Christie, Huckabee, Rubio and Palin!”
But Michael cautioned that Donald hasn’t made up his mind about a presidential run, and a source said: “They’re in secret meetings discussing that very thing right now. Donald is clearly interested.”
Donald shocked political pundits with a January appearance at the 2015 Iowa Freedom Summit, where he took to the podium and upstaged plenty of the GOP’s biggest names – with one report noting that the popular personality “scored some of the day’s biggest applause lines.”
In a previous exclusive interview with The ENQUIRER, Donald said he would be prepared to tap into his massive personal fortune of more than $6 billion to finance a presidential campaign, ensuring that he could run as a candidate who isn’t tied to corporate special interests.
And Donald hasn’t been shy about his views on the Obama administration. “America is being laughed at by the rest of the world – and things must change before it’s too late,” Donald told The ENQUIRER. “Today, Americans feel as if we’re the whipping post for other countries. We will not be a great country in the not-too-distant future if we don’t change our ways!”
The 68-year-old father of five also told The ENQUIRER his Slovenian-born model wife, Melania, would make a terrific First Lady.
“Melania is a good person and a phenomenal mother,” he said. “She’s proud to be an American citizen, and she sees the problems we face in this country.”

Lol!
The problem is the second part of my prediction.
Power will not fade lightly or easily.
At all.
Wow...I'm impressed. I wasn't convinced that Trump, wanted to win, could win or should win until around August. Pretty prescient. Just hope we manage to skip the assassination part...although I'm seriously afraid of the possibility.
I pray that the Lord sees to it that this one is not to be.
Bump!
We’re getting closer...
Suspension of the election could have Unintended Consequences.
Bump to an excellent post!
My final bump on this thread.
Why did Trump win?
Because as an average American guy, I think he would sit down with me and have a beer for twenty minutes.
We would talk about my first fear, which is war - nuclear war. But he would assure me, he knows Putin and it won’t happen... kinda turns out we have alot in common with the Russkies.
And I would talk about immigration, how your average American basically feels forgotten and left out now. Everything seems to be all about immigrants and how fantastic they are. He would assure me that more than anything else, Americans come first, no exception.
I might mention veterans, not being one myself, and how trashed by the government I think they are. He will tell me to not worry about that, that is being taken care of, no matter what or how much money the banks can make, the veterans are going to be number one!
Then I would talk about good lookin babes and his wife yada yada yada and he would tell me I went a bit too far, but hey, he gets it, and I will never even touch it, then I would sadly agree! Damn, to call this guy misogynist is the stupidest thing I ever heard...
And I would talk about the banks. That they never seem to have any consequence over anything that they do. He might inform me that he is going to try to reinstate Glass-Stegall and a few other reforms that were abandoned.
And that would be about it! I would say thanks, it’s been great talking to you, and he would climb into his chopper and leave!
I know. It’s a stupid fantasy.
But you get the point, and I hope The Donald does too!
This looks like one of the first threads where Trump was seen as a serious contender for 2016. Others on this thread were horribly wrong.
He did it!!!
I still barely believe it myself, but he did it!
Trump bump!!!!!!!!
Yeah!
Interesting! BTTT!
So you voted for Hillary, I take it?
This is one of my favorite historic FR threads!
I voted for Pedro.
Seriously though, a lot of minds changed over time as the election progressed. I voted for Trump in the general and am glad I did.
