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.

“If it werent for Donald Trump - Osama bin Laden will still be alive.”
“I 100% agree with you. Obama needed something to “trump” Trump and killing OBL was that move.”
I agree as well. OBL strike was to trump the eligibility contentions.
Hoping DT can come out on it and get heard but if he were in debates it WOULD have been given center stage.
I didn’t think he was serious about running for president, but because of his initial announcement, he certainly brought more attention to the birther issue. I think that was his purpose all along.
Romney out and we will be even happier.
I think it was more than that and he failed.
It is all the process, last time it was all over by the Fla primary. I dont see what the hurry is. A few more will be whittled down by the Iowa State Fair Straw poll.
Sarah doesnt have to come in till Labor Day, if she wants.
Agreed, and I think Sarah well understands this. Look at the circus going on in the Republican field right now. Why would she want to be anywhere close to that melee?
If, as you say, she waits until Labor Day to announce, there's still about six months of solid campaigning to do until the primary vote in Feb - March of 2012.
There's plenty of time yet, for her to announce.
high-fives all around for this excellent news
“If it werent for Donald Trump - Osama bin Laden will still be alive.”
Then we might as well believe in the Tooth Fairy. He’s been dead for seven+ years, and according to the Pakistanis and BBC they got the wrong “OBL”(?), hmmm???

See 469 and 470, hmmm???
Yes, and also only one to call out OPEC and what they are doing to oil prices.
Very true and very strange that no other
Goper will talk about these things.
“I think it was more than that and he failed.”
Perhaps I’m not following it closely enough. I was not aware of those who failed and those who have been successful so far.
I can’t believe people actually believed that he was running. He’s a publicity whore...plain and simple. One thing that bugs me is everytime I hear him speak he’s always bragging about one thing or another. The guy has absolutely zero humility. It’s amazing.
That stuff was so funny. “I’d call up OPEC and say ‘enough’.” lol. He proved one thing. The voters ARE as dumb as they think we are.
No, Trump would say
“Look you Arab MFers, you gimmi that g..damned oil cheap or I am moving in the military to take it from you, after I grab Iraqs oil. I hate you f$%ing Arabs. Now got to hell, I got to call those Chinese MFers and tell them I am raising their god...ed taxes”LOL
And the clueless just latch on to claims they want to believe. They wanted Give-m-hell Trump to kick some behinds so bad, when he wouldnt even run in any case because he didnt want to make public his personal finances.
I remember when O Reilly was claiming ethanol would make us energy independent and so many people believed him. Then we did it and we are screwed.
>Obama is no phony. Hes half American, half-African and ALL Marxist and he loathes the constitution. Bears no allegience to it whatsoever. He bragged about that up front in his book and in his campaign. Americans of the Democrat persuasion were just too dumb to believe him. Hes exactly the type of foreigner that our founders feared when they included the Natural Born Citizen requirement in the constitution.
Hope we can correct the error in 2012... or its all over for America as we all know and love it.
Suggest we forget about the birth certificate, re-focus and fight like hell for a conservative candidate that we can all support!! Our Liberty depends upon it.<
