Exclusive: Trump to Announce His Run for President
Newsmax ^ | April 12, 2011 | Ronald Kessler

Posted on 04/13/2011 6:28:02 PM PDT by RobinMasters

If you wonder whether Donald Trump is serious about running for president, tune in to the finale of “The Celebrity Apprentice” on May 15.

Trump plans to say on the NBC show that he will be holding a press conference in the next few days. At that press conference in the Trump Tower in New York, Trump will be announcing his candidacy for the presidency.

Even then, many will snicker that it’s all a publicity stunt. But that defies the facts and common sense.

Of all the people on the planet, Donald Trump is the last person who needs more publicity. And if he is riding a groundswell of support, why would he—or anyone else—decide not to run?

Since writing the first story in January to report that Trump will definitely run, I have been amazed at how much the idea of a Trump presidency is catching on across the political spectrum. As I wrote in my story, Don’t Underestimate Donald Trump for President, he can be outrageous and boastful. But when it comes to a successful run at the presidency, don’t count him out.

Well I like the fact that he is not afraid to call out Obama if he Constitutionally qualified unlike the rest of the GOP candidates. They are more concerned with their own careers than the US Constitution.

“He’s not serious about beating obama because he said that if he doesn’t win the GOP nomination, he will run as an Independent.”

.........why would any smart person who wants to win the GOP nomination say up front that he will back down if he doesn’t win???

HERE’S THE BOTTOM LINE:
IF Trump chooses to run, then the GOP have NO CHOICE but to nominate him, because IF he does run as an independent then the Dems win FOR SURE. Trump is in the catbird seat and he knows it!

Trump's mission in life is to "Enhance the Trump Brand".

So, when he gets belected, will the White House become the Trump House?

Perot was a male feminist (outspokenly pro-abortion) who wanted another 50-cent gas tax. His swing voters were stealth socialists who voted for Hillary by proxy (Bill). They’ve taken over the Republican Party. Trump is nothing like Perot in those respects for sure.

Trump / Rubio would be a very powerful ticket.

Heck, if Biden drops out Obama would have to pick a latino to compete with that or even better pick McCain as his VP.

If we’re going to go with Trump why not make it interesting with a...

If that is what is on his long-form then Obama was willing to commit forgery in order to cover that up.

And the HDOH has committed misprision of felony, falsification of records, and a host of other crimes.

Both of those statements are already known to be true, BTW. I just doubt whether these people would go to these lengths to cover up illegitimacy, which doesn’t even really have a stigma attached to it at this point.

But as long as we’ve got the HDOH breaking laws and rules to cover for Obama, it could be ANYTHING on that birth certificate, if one exists at all. And that should be troubling to everybody.

Something people need to realize: The HDOH has indirectly confirmed that the certificate number and “date filed” on the Factcheck COLB are incompatible. If Obama ever had a legally-valid birth certificate from Hawaii he would have a valid BC#/”date filed” combination to show the world - even if he altered some other “embarrassing” content on his BC (either by forgery or by a legal amendment).

For there to be incompatible BC# and “date filed” on the Factcheck COLB it means not only that the Factcheck COLB is a forgery, but that Obama doesn’t even know what BC#/”date filed” combination would be legitimate. IOW, he doesn’t HAVE a legitimate BC#/”date filed” combination to look off of. Because he has never had a legally valid Hawaii BC.

And THAT is explosive. That is why they are illegally hiding his BC#.

The people at the HDOH are either totally incompetent, or crooks, or (more likely) both. The rest of the country needs a way to defend ourselves against this lawlessness.

"Trump/Bachmann 2012"

Sincerely, that would be a steamroller of a ticket, but would they agree on trade issues?

Dept of Ed and the EPA. And I’d trust Trump more than the other mealy mouth RINOS. Not included in this group is Sarah and Michele which also give me hope.

Well if McCain/Palin can get together than why can’t Trup/Bachmann??

What does Bachmann think we should pay tariffs while the Chinese do not? The trade game is like a rigged poker game right now. There is no way we can win the way it’s set up.

I will take Trump seriously when he divests himself from all of his business interests so that he can run for President.

“I think he cares about his image/ego more.”

Name me a candidate that doesn’t!

I just knew somebody would bring out Alan Keyes, the windbag.
So, having done that, did you hear what Keyes said about Michael New?
It’s awfully disgusting; it might make your blood boil.

Seriously? You think he should have to divest his business interests to run for President? I know traditionally that Presidents turn over their interests to “blind trusts” but I’ve never heard that candidates had to. And I wonder whether Presidents do that for propriety or for law... because if it were up to me, I’d say even the President has a right to manage and maintain his business interests.

To be fair, he said he’d run as an independent if he thought he would win. Based on what we are seeing from the establishment RINO’s running DC, I think there are a large number of people out there that would just as soon elect someone from neither party.
