Trump declares he won’t run for president in 2012

“After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the presidency,” Trump’s statement said.

“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. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election.”

But after campaigning unofficially for months, Trump said he has come to realize that he must be 100 percent committed to run for public office. “Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.”

He reportedly had planned to meet with NBC executives this morning to discuss his future on “The Apprentice,” his reality TV show. The execs had been pressuring him to decide whether he would re-up for next season by today because they planned to announced their fall lineup this afternoon. It was reported Friday that NBC was dangling a $60 million offer to stay with the show.

Following is Trump’s full statement:

“After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. 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. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election. I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.

“I want to personally thank the millions of Americans who have joined the various Trump grassroots movements and written me letters and e-mails encouraging me to run. My gratitude for your faith and trust in me could never be expressed properly in words. So, I make you this promise: that I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician’s thoughts. My ability to bring important economic and foreign policy issues to the forefront of the national dialogue is perhaps my greatest asset and one of the most valuable services I can provide to this country.

“I will continue to push our President and the country’s policy makers to address the dire challenges arising from our unsustainable debt structure and increasing lack of global competitiveness. Issues, including getting tough on China and other countries that are methodically and systematically taking advantage of the United States, were seldom mentioned before I brought them to the forefront of the country’s conversation. They are now being debated vigorously. I will also continue to push for job creation, an initiative that should be this country’s top priority and something that I know a lot about. I will not shy away from expressing the opinions that so many of you share yet don’t have a medium through which to articulate.

“I look forward to supporting the candidate who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country’s most important issues and am hopeful that, when this person emerges, he or she will have the courage to take on the challenges of the Office and be the agent of change that this country so desperately needs.

“Thank you and God Bless America!”

If you are like most Americans, you’re feeling the “pain” of losing your home to foreclosure, extended unemployment, spent savings, bleak retirement outlook, gas and food prices spiraling out of control, pork spending and corrupt politicians.

Why not an entrepreneur for President? Donald Trump is the epitome of an American capitalist who wins! “I want people to be successful. I want people to make a lot of money!”

We need to bring  the United States back to the strong, vibrant and prosperous nation it once was.  Donald Trump, America’s premiere real estate developer, businessman and philanthropist, recently announced the possibility of his candidacy for the 2012 presidency. “If I run, and if I win, this country will be respected again!”

Mr. Trump, please run for president! Win or Loose, your ideas and platform will challenge the longstanding Washington politico machine.  Some of your ideas for business may help us all think of what we could  be doing to bring the United States back to the position of global democratic and economic leadership.

Please help bring us back as a leader in technology development and manufacturing, utilizing our American innovation to help overcome the domestic and global problems while allowing us to live the American dream again with gainful employment!

Donald Trump’s passion for America,

has prompted his action into doing something about the trashing of America, -“The United States is the whipping post for the rest of the world and the reason is because our leadership isn’t smart enough or tough enough to do something about it!”

“This theory of a very successful person running for office is rarely tested because most successful people don’t want to be scrutinized or abused and that’s what happens. This is why we don’t have the kind of people that we should have running for office. Unfortunately, however, this is the kind of person that the country needs — and we need it now.” ~~ Donald Trump

Trump recently told MSNBC, “I’d love not do it,” meaning run for president, “but the country has so many problems — such as the erosion of the manufacturing base to foreign competitors. I see what’s going on with America and it’s never been worse. It’s a disgrace. I look at OPEC setting the price of oil, ripping the life blood out of this country and then China, when you look at China, they have ripped us like no one ever has before. We don’t use our great people!”

When you meet or work with Donald Trump,

you realize he genuinely likes to help people. He’s friendly and diplomatic, yet powerful and formidable when it comes to the discussion about his feelings for this country and how to help it.

America is a shell of what it once was !

We need a strong leader who loves this country and who will fight to bring back the pride of the American way.  Donald Trump may be that person!

“To be victorious you have to think of yourself as a winner – you have to feel that you’re a winner – you have to feel that you’re better than the competition! I love this country – it has the potential to be great again!” – Donald J. Trump
