Only one problem. He isn’t running.

Elsewhere Trump is reported to be mulling the idea of running as an independent. This is where Trump’s achilles’ heel — his dauntless ego — might tragically override common sense. The only possible upside is if Trump makes Barack Obama look so much like a clown that Obama’s support falls below a third of the voters. It would be delicious to see the Democrats so deep-sixed in 2012 that they are a mere byword, a mere joke.

Musing... beyond a certain point, wealth brings drastically diminishing returns in a presidential campaign. Trump could certainly ensure that he dogs every single step of Barack Obama, and that everyone down to the park squirrels have heard about him a thousand times by Election Day, but if he’s not well liked it won’t make a difference, and if he is well liked he could save the dough.
