Donald Trump is running for president. The multi-billionaire announced his presidential plans today from his namesake tower in New York City. Trump, 69, was introduced by his daughter Ivanka as he formally declared his 2016 intentions, descending down an escalator with wife Melania to speak to the gathered crowd. In his remarks he attacked the Obama administration on everything from immigration and terrorism to Obamacare and the job market as he promised to bring back the American dream. He also released his financial information, revealing a net worth of $8.7billion.
'We need somebody that literally will take this country and make it great again. We can do that,' said Trump. I will be the greatest jobs president God ever created 'Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again.'
As for what he could do for the country, Trump said he would be the 'greatest jobs president God ever created.' He then added; 'The fact is, the American Dream is dead - but if I win, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before.'
As for Obamacare, Trump called the program a 'disaster.' 'ObamaCare must be repealed and replaced with something far superior and at far less cost,' he said in his remarks.
Trump also put much of the focus of his speech on the issue of immigration.
The fact is, the American Dream is dead - but if I win, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before. 'It is way past time to build a massive wall to secure our southern border - and nobody can build a bigger and better wall than Donald Trump,' said Trump.

Could I get the link to that?
Thanks
Look at every big company CEO even self proclaimed conservative ones. Every big company CEO gives to both sides. It is smart business for the health and sake of the company.
And ESPECIALLY where he operates, New York, New Jersey, Nevada
He gave 21 to Dems, 7 to GOPers
He gave to Charlie Crist in Florida
He gave 100k to the Clinton Foundation too I think
Thanks for that Art.
You’re welcome dragnet2.
Watch his speech from today.
You'll see that that isn't how he sees things.
A CEO and a President are two very different things.
What a line-up! Thanks for your support, dear brother in Christ!
Art, I want to thank you very much for that full speech link.
Several of us just watched it. Unbelievable.
I just found my candidate.
Thanks again!
1. Trump would not be my first choice. Or second. Or third.
2. He would also not be my last choice. Or next to last. Hell, he’s not in the bottom 5.
3. If nothing else, I at least don’t doubt the man’s patriotism or national pride, which is a lot more than I can say for any of the democratic candidates, or some current presidents of the United States I could name.
TRUMP OR DUMP 2016
BECAUSE THE ELECTION CAN’T GET MORE STUPID 2016
HIS TOUPEE IS SMARTER THAN OBAMA 2016
Trump/Palin!
he will hold up his head and act like he has balls when he meets Putin. Job 1 for CinC.
I know how they work. I also know tithing to pols with protection money is crony capitalism and it’s a big part of the problem we face.
I wish I could remember the name of the freeper that said it but to paraphrase, We are a nation, not a business. If you want the Corporate States of America, that’s your choice.
They might remember or be aware, they just don’t care. They must have their liberal pretending to be a republican no matter what because it’s a lesser evil and they’ll hold feet to the fire later but right now we have to WIN! and only a moderate like trump can get the votes we need to make America less conservative!
Oh wait...
They did it with Mitt, they did it with Mitch and Jonbon and we live the result of that idiocy. Now, unsatisfied by what they did to themselves, they will repeat their actions and get indignant when called on it.
Omigawd! He’s going to make the American Dream into a vampire!
The dark secret is that we are controlling our own strings. We allow the media to lead us. If we simply stopped giving them the power to control us, the puppetry could not exist.
If the GOP woke up intelligent one day, it would be a very simple matter to hire a web designer and a spokesman and bypasss any and all liberal reporters forever and ever, Amen. Simply stop answering their questions and going on their shows. Make a statement etc. through the site directly as Reagan did in his day going straight to the people (within the capacity of 80s tech) and let the libs scream. The MSM would spend 2 months in nuclear mode and then turn on their own libs in office to argue with since they would lose their dwindling reader/viewership after not getting the ‘Fight Club’ that ‘ship wanted.
It was called Ross Perot - take away about 12% of the vote when you declare as an independent and poof - another Clinton
Trump is all about the Trump brand and he has contributed to the Clinton library and foundation
