Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president Thursday, saying he's impressed by the Republican candidate's debate prowess and believes he could easily beat President Obama in November.
"Mitt is tough. He's smart. He's sharp. He's not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country that we all love," Trump said in Las Vegas, telling the candidate to "go out and get 'em."
The real estate mogul, speaking briefly with reporters before the announcement, said that even though he "never knew" Romney before the race began, he's come to know him in recent months.
"His general attitude and the last two debates were very impressive," Trump said.
He also cited Romney's position on China, calling the former Massachusetts governor

There's so much bartering going on and will be increasing as this year moves along....I bet behind the scenes it looks like a flipping hurricane of activity we'll never see.
I’m with you manc...I don’t watch Faux anymore either.
Screw them, sideways.
It’s pretty good actually. We are SO screwed!!!!!
Oh I don't think so...at least not on FR....they know who Trump is and about. It's great political theater and the news agencies will love the drama.
I'm livid...Hannity has McCain on and agreeing with him....so much for Hannity/Fox....the push for Romney is full throttle now.
“only tea party conservatives from then on.”
I agree. Whether its Obama the European Socialist or Romney the Placeholder. By 2016, there will be lots of Tea Party backed governors and Congressmen with a record to run on. History may show that people are finally ready for a third party....
Newt said the same thing about China and said it way before the debates. In fact, my doctor told me. Anyone, Newt is the one who would do it. The only thing that makes sense is the powers that be got to him. He has his properties/business all over - and this is more of protecting what he has. Integrity isn’t his strong trait. They can make it hell for him w/doing business.
He should never have been considered a hero on this site to begin with. It is stunning what is considered “great” around here.
If they do, this is one Pennsylvanian Conservative that won't be voting for the RINO.
Name one who has done so????? Nobody wins on their merits alone...never.
We’re being played by everyone of them. Some of the class of 2010 played us. They saw an opportunity to get to congress to cash in.
We all might as well go ahead and throw up and get it over with. Before it’s over Sarah will be cam”pain”ing with Mitts. As will Newt. As will Bachman. As will Santorum. As will Cain if he’s wanted. Ron Paul is the only one who won’t be playing.
And don’t be surprised if Steve Wynn endorses Romney.
Then come 2013, obama is sworn in for a second term and we watch it all go away.
So now it’s Sarah against Trump! I thought they liked each other...so much for the theory that they in on it together (my theory.)
As soon as I can!
Combover boy is kind of a unique case for me. I find him to be such a slimy piece of crap that it would cause me to question the judgment of anyone who would accept his endorsement.
“I wonder where those Freepers on here who were passionately backing a Donald Trump presidential candidacy last summer have all gone?”
They’re still here. Just hoping no one knows how to use the search engine.
Where are all of those who were declaring Trump to be a hero yesterday when it was thought he was endorsing Newt?
Romney’s people maybe told Trump he will never build anything again if he endorsed Newt.
There’s one post that has made me laugh today. Thanks FRiend, I needed that :^)
Newt’s campaign said they didn’t know anything about a Trump endorsement, and why would they? After all, he was speaking with the Trump campaign, not Gingrich’s. Most likey this was another case of Romney’s little minions feeding crap to the press just to embarrass Newt.
