Donald Trump is ready to shell out $600 million of his own cash to become President.
The billionaire business magnate and "Apprentice" star told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday that his name recognition would probably save him "hundreds of millions of dollars" compared with other candidates.
When asked if he had $600 million to spare, Trump said: "Much more than that. That's one of the nice things. I mean, part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich. So if I need $600 million, I could put up $600 million myself. That's a huge advantage."
The 64-year-old, who held the interview aboard his private jet, said he'd announce his decision by June.

I wouldn’t vote for this guy for dog catcher! We already have an arrogant president!
Of course, Willkie also lost.
I agree. Trump will definitely force the debate. He has no problem saying what he thinks because if he does not get elected he just goes back to his supermodel wife and his ultra special life.
Hurts Mit and Huck more than Palin. She has her Army and he will divide the Rino vote.
Pray for America
Murkowski said something similar
gawd, the guy is a snake
All I’ve heard from Trump is that he plan to win a war with China by shooting Americans. You can’t tax the Chinese or hurt the Chinese with a tariff, since its not Chinese that pay the taxes. All it hurt are Americans
If you want to beat the Chinese, you have to decrease taxes on the production side in America, not raise taxes on the consumption side
Trump discussed this exact point tonight on Kudlows program. He said this would be a main part of the plan. We need to do something about this issue now. I don't want to live in a world where Communists call the shots.
500 million of it is for hush money to all the hookers he’s banged while married.
Republicans, especially conservative Republicans, who fall for this nonsense are just plain foolish. What are Trump's Republican credentials? Absolutely none, as a glance at his political contributions to 'Rat left candidates will tell you.
If anything, Trump will run as a third party candidate to hurt the Republican more than Obama, just like Ross Perot intentionally did in 1992 and 1996. Trump was whispered to be interested in being a candidate of the Reform Party in 2004.(?)
Other than that, I'm not sure how much he has in common with Ross Perot.
Good
Romney has only about half that much of his own money...
trump can outspend and put romney under the table early...
If true, get ready for obama to be reelected.
In his Wikipedia profile under Politics, it says he registered as a Democrat in 2001 and then he registered as a Republican in 2009. We don’t people like him running for President as a Republican. We got enough RINOS in the party as it is.
phoney? You may not like him , but that is not a fair adjective. The man has given a lot of people jobs with all of his business dealings and speaks his mind honestly.
Why can’t he run as a Democrat?? (C) (TM)
I wouldn’t vote for him if he gave me all of the $600 million.Naw, that’s a lie. I would be tempted.
Keep your money, Trump. I am as likely to vote for Obama as I am you.
