MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Outspoken real estate magnate Donald Trump said on Tuesday he may seek the Republican presidential nomination for 2016, adding that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's prospects for a White House run have dimmed since a scandal erupted.
A run for the presidency "is something I would certainly look at," Trump told Reuters. "You know why? I'm unhappy with the way things are going in America."
Trump gave the telephone interview before making a breakfast speech at the "Politics & Eggs" forum at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire - an event that tends to feature presidential hopefuls. Trump did not directly address the idea of a running for office during the speech....

I was watching a sermon given by Dr. David Jeremiah at Madison Sq. Garden when the camera panned the audience and sure enough there was Donald Trump. They panned back again later and showed DT for a second time. I’d vote for him if he secured the top of the ticket.
He owes no one. HAHAHAHA He owes every bank in town.
Trump needs to go back to the circus
He has recently thrown the gay media a bone. Which probably is wise politically, but still leaves him right of what most candidates including GOP candidates are going to be. He's moving in the wrong direction on this issue, but none of them are going to be perfect. I don't think Trump will lead on social issues. And if he did, it would likely be in the wrong direction. He doesn't have a strong value foundation. But if he can just avoid doing damage while he repairs the economy, I'd be thrilled.
Donald Trump Discusses 'Evolving' Gay Marriage Views With MSNBC
My usually stance is to vote the social issues first. Believing that if we honor God in our social polices, He will bless us with wisdom in economic and military matters. I still lean that way, but the economy is tearing at the social fabric, and I'm not hopeful of a leader leading the country right on social issues at this point.
So it might be time to put the country's pocketbook first, so that we have the resources to strive with the other issues.
Looks like the race for second place has begun.
He gets last laugh.
Trump—Do It or don’t do it! I think you would make a great Governor of New York—Or help to fund a new 3rd Party—Help to establish the Liberty Party. That or revamp an existing party—Like the NY Conservative Party. Even toss your Fedora in the ring as a member of the GOP. a Trump/Palin Ticket would sound right to me. Trump has a great deal to offer, even as a VP. If he was smart he would go Total Tea Party and reject all of his middle of the road past comments. he hates Cuomo—use the hate to end Liberal/Progressive New York.
If he did this, tell me he would not gather very strong support from conservatives, as well as independents and libertarians.

I agree with your comments PLUS those of DannyTN’s posted above. .........I believe Trump’s business accumen and familiarity with foreign relations would do wonders for reviving the US economy and creating jobs. I also believe he would clean out the social engineering wimps that have taken over the US military services.
I’d never vote for Christi, but I would vote for Trump.
I hope there are many like us. I think there are. Maybe there are also more democrats who are no longer suckers for the lies they are being fed.
“Read my lips. No new taxes.” I don’t care which party you belong to. I don’t want to be lied to. This was the big lie of Bush I. With 0vomit, there is no way to keep track of all his lies; there are too many to count.
HAHA, where are Trump’s Chumps now?
