Donald Trump is not running for president.
"After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency," Trump said in a statement Monday. "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," the real estate mogul and reality show star continued.

Yea who’s left????
Puh-Leeeeeeeeeeze!
Seriously? Tell us you forgot the /sarcasm note.
I haven’t seen any anti-Trump vitriol based on damage to Obama. If you actually believe that, then it’s worse than I imagined ...
It ain’t just another leak. I think maybe the bottom of the bucket done cracked clean in two. Y’all might need a bigger bucket.
When a nasty pop culture a-hole and despicable creature like Trump can gain traction on this conservative forum, I'd say we all better watch our backs.
While I cant prove it I think that is complete BS by NBC. They had a new contract with him, that is why they planned to continue the show. They loved all the free publicity he was creating.
Is it?
Who knows what Trump's motivation was. We can only speculate. Yet, whether a joke or not, Trump at least went out and sounded like a candidate, unafraid to criticize and unafraid of political correctness. Compare this to the leading "milk toast" RINO's whom are left. But, it's still early and we've yet to find out all the candidates.
However, if Gov. Palin stays away as the Media is hoping, Conservatives will likely be unrepresented yet again in another Presidential election. If it's to be another 1996 re-do, been there, done that.
The odd thing with Trump's announcement is the coincidence of the timing, shortly after Huckabee made his announcement. Hmmm.....
Hahaha, where is the information Trump's investigators were "amazed" by and "couldn't believe they were finding"??
Trump's a clown. He was just using the birther stuff to get attention for himself. He never had squat. I do kinda feel sad for the people that actually bought into his charade.
If Trump doesn't pursue the clearly bogus LFBC, then it's more likely he was working in conjunction with Barry.
He did leave some interesting "tid bits" that may hint which way he'll go on that score.
The next few weeks and months should be telling in that regard.
Obambi’s tool chickened out...
I agree.
So why do you think Obama went and released the long form? You think it had NOTHING to do with Trump. You can’t possibly be that stupid.
Even the White House admitted that Trump had damaged Obama so much so that they were compelled to release the long form.
Then - with Obama’s poll numbers slipping lower and lower - you think it’s a COINCIDENCE that Obama has OBL taken out. And again that it had nothing to do with the damage Trump had caused your boy Barack? Even the most liberal of journalists admitted Bammie did this to bounce back in the polls.
I know it must piss you off to have Obama be made a fool of. But for a birther like Trump to do it?
Wow. No wonder you are angry.
Is it just me.......or is Pawlenty going to be the last man standing. Maybe Daniels too. I love Cain but he won’t be our next POTUS.
Indeed - especially considering that Trump the clown isn't even a conservative in the first place.
No doubt about that.
Do you have a link to the "fact" that they had a new contract in place with him a month ago?
Why should Trump go after this issue when the other Republican candidates have shown no desire to question the BC? Why should he do the dirty work other candidates won't touch?
Yes he was a joke. I mean great so the President released his birth certificate and now people ate it up (I know we didn’t but majority of Americans did). So really what did he accomplish? We have Cain who has zero experience but he is sooooooooo conservative that I could vote for him. I love his pro-life message which is my number one issue so I would be thrilled to vote for him.
Seriously? Tell us you forgot the /sarcasm note.

Welcome to the thread. You have some reading to do. And some learning evidently. You need to educate yourself on what Trump did to Obama. And what Obama’s response was.
Yes, yes! Yes!!!
And Huckabee, what a wonderful day.
His work for Obama is done. He’s cleared up the birth certificate.
I wonder what his payoff is?
As if he’d take a pay cut.
