Free publicity? That's Trump's forte. Endless speculation about his possible entry into the 2012 Republican race certainly qualifies. Trump, a billionaire who has never held any elective office, says he will not decide until June.Donald Trump has big money to throw at anything he want to pursue, but if he really thinks that enough people will take him seriously in a political sphere, he must be smoking something. But it is his right to pursue a political post if he qualifies legally, and so..... The only problem I can see is that he might garner some votes that might upset other candidates real and true chances to become elected in a situation where an election was close.

After listening to Trump he sounded like a REAL REPUBLICAN and someone that I could consider. My first choice would be Condi Rice but maybe Trump and Condi on the same ticket?

Like it or not countries have social issues which corporations ignore. Corporations have absolute power. this is a democratic government or used to be I am beginning to wonder.The Coch brothers prove how businessmen really care for the people. Business men do business and lets face it he had a good start. The USA is a complicated place and to preserve democracy is getting harder.We are a multi national nation and have been from the start. But look what big business has done for us so far.They sent our jobs off shore, they are trying to crush labor, and caused a depression. 2 million out of work and 3 million AMERICAN children living in poverty. No more clowns of reality show hopefuls. Trump runs on family values? He has had 3 wives. And no building should be built taller than we have the equipment to reach all inside for safety sake. Bush was a business man and he left one big mess.He was all for big oil, ergo Iraq. If the obstructionist Republicans would concentrate on the nation and leave women's reproductive rights, redefining rape and a host of other intrusive legislation out and concentrate on jobs, putting back regulations to control banks and big business we would be doing meaningful things to get the economy going.

I honesty think he knows that, but his ego just isn't the type to give up. Historically, "Big Business" type people, don't make good Presidential material, as witnessed by the Presidency of the "Bush", Daddy & Son duo. They both slammed, and did a job on this country. Basically the same thing applies to Mitt Romney, who presents himself well, but just thinks to much like a CEO, instead of a human being. Remember, to excel in the business world, it's survival, and you have to be pretty "cut-throat" to make it. That don't cut it for being President. So, I think Donald has proven himself to be a pretty successful guy, and so he should just stay in the arena he can survive in, and basically forget about the Presidency. If not, well.................."Paybacks are Hell"!!!

He is a crook who hoodwinks banks into financing his loosing propositions time and time again. He has left a trail like Madoff of burned investors yet the fools here and in America think he knows how to make money, he only steals money. He is into the banks so deep they cannot do a thing as he has joined them in the"too big to fail" status. Talk to the people that invested in his Mexican Condo project who lost 500 grand each when it was neve built. Americans truly believe the Emperors New Clothes are fantastic.

March 09 2011 at 4:55 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down ReplyMany of Trump's businesses have gone bankrupt. Including his "Taj Mahal" casino in Atlantic City. He can't make money running a GAMBLING casino? Insanity! "The house ALWAYS wins" in gambling [NOT that weasel-word, "gaming".] THIS is what we "need" to "save" the bankrupt US so-called "government" ? NO way. Trump attended from boyhood the Manhattan "church" of Norman Vincent Peale, a flaming heretic, of the "health & weath gospel'" type. Insanity! Peale made the blind-as-a-bat Chambers of Commerce salesmen fraudsters seem credible. As real Christian scholars said of Peale, "Paul is appealing, but Peale is appalling." So is Trump! "Birds of a feather flock together", as "they" rightly say.
