Say What? Now Trump Hints At Prez Run
New York Post ^ | Jan, 3, 2006

Posted on 01/03/2006 6:50:23 AM PST by Hadean

ALBANY — Megabuilder and late-blooming TV star Donald Trump yesterday flatly ruled out running for governor this year — but hinted he may go for president in 2008. Trump, in a phone call to The Post from his oceanside Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago, declared, "I'm not going to run for governor because I'm having too much fun doing what I'm doing now.

"I'm the largest builder in New York, I'm building things all over the country, I have one of the top shows on television. It's a little hard to leave all of that."

Trump, a Republican, said he had been "inundated with calls" from GOP leaders since state Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno (R-Rensselaer) suggested last week that "The Apprentice" star might run for governor.

Trump, 59, called Bruno "a great guy" and a "longtime friend," and said Bruno's hint was "a great honor."

But while The Donald repeatedly ruled out a race for statewide office, he strongly suggested he was interested in entering the national political arena in 2008...

He wouldn't be the first Big Money Man
to buy a House or Senate Seat. Unfortunately,
we have sufficient numbskull voters who buy
into ego-maniacal ads.

"anomie", a great, apt and very suitable word for the times.

Actually, his new wife would be the hottest First Lady we've ever had.

Yuk! I like Trump - he's a great businessman (nothing wrong with self promotion...I've found it pays well).

But I don't want him as president!

Trump is a fool. Spitzer is handing him a "Get into the Statehouse Free" card and he is turning his back on it.

I will only vote for SNL Trump.
Thank you Will and Grace. This place is really snazzed up. I gotta say, of the non-Trump buildings in New York, this place has a whole lotta flash, and it really screams out Merry Christmas...(looks off-camera) What? I can't say Christmas? Who made that rule? Well, what about Cha-noo-kah-hah? I can't say that? What about Kwan-zoo? That's just great...Alright, let's crank this thing out.

And there were shepherds keeping watch over their flocks by night; then a civil representative of the town came up to them and said "Here's the thing: a baby has been born to a lady of undetermined ethnicity and/or religious affiliation. You will find he or she is wrapped in clothes looking really classy and lying in a barn-box...(looks off-camera again) What the hell is a barn-box? (looks back at the camera) You know what? The End.

Fah-lah fah-lah fah-lah, Fah-la la la THE APPRENTICE.

If Trump wants to enter National Politics, I'd suggest he start cozying up to Geena Davis-- maybe he could run for re-election on her ticket.

Trump may be only 59 but his putrid combover died back in the days of Pompeii, I think. And the good people of America don't vote for bad combovers.

Donald Trump is a maniacal megalomaniac. I hope he does run so that he can see the entire country (except for the moonbats who watch his show) laugh him off the national stage.

He will change his mind when someone points out to him that he would be expected to keep the same First Lady for at least four years.
