Donald Trump is No Longer Running for President!

In our previous post we stated that Donald Trump would be running for President of the United States, but it seems that this 64 year old business magnate, who previously poked jabs at Obama's birth, has decided after much "difficulty" to withdraw from being a potential Republican candidate.

I question why this real-estate titan would drop out when he believes that he would win the election. He even stated to the press that, "If I were to run, I would be able to win the primary, and ultimately, the general election." I cannot wrap my mind around that the fact that he thinks he is going to win, yet drops out. If you knew you had a strong chance of winning then wouldn't you go all in?

Donald Trump for President?

Donald Trump has announced that he will run for president in the 2012 election by trying to win the Republican nomination. However if he does not, he says it is quite possible for him to run as an independent.

Many know Trump because of his business empire, his show The Apprentice, and his outspoken personality. I know he is an extremely successful businessman, but will that make him a good president?

To me, it seems like Trump thinks he can run because his huge ego thinks he can. When interviewed on Good Morning America about his campaign, he said things like "Part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich," or "Look I'm a very smart man. I've made some great decisions in my life". Trump made America's current issues seem minuscule and said that if he wanted to he could put 600 million of his own dollars into the campaign.

Yes, he is a wealthy man, but I think he has forgotten that this is a democratic country. Trump will not be able to solve all of the country's problems on his ego and money alone. He will still need to pass bills through Congress and and get their consent like every other president.

The idea of having Donald Trump as president scares me. He seems a little too risky of a choice to be president, especially in such delicate times. However, maybe he is just what our country needs.
