Donald Trump is not running for president.
"After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency," Trump said in a statement Monday. "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," the real estate mogul and reality show star continued.

Obama had already neutered the BC issue by releasing it.

As you or that Buckeye dude already went crying to the mods about me (see the “Knock it off” order upthread), I’ll refrain from engaging you with the same level of name calling as you guys are calling me. But I don’t care. Really. Keep calling me names if it makes you feel better.
But for you to say “Obama had already neutered the BC issue by releasing it”, just reinforces your complete lack of knowledge and understanding about this fundamental issue.
“Obama had already neutered the BC issue by releasing it.”
Really? And so now all the birther threads are all gone? No one is questioning Obama any further? Wow. You must be ecstatic.
Now. If we we could only focus on the real issues and get another “John McCain” to be the GOP frontrunner and have a repeat of 2008... everthing will be just peachy.
Newt just committed politicide with his idiotic comments (what’s new); and all the pundits who think Daniels has a chance only have to look at this ruling from the Indiana Supreme Court. No, it’s not his jurisdiction as such, but to not immediately attack this=lack of leadership.
You Trumpettes sure are distinguishing yourselves on this thread by gracefully admitting you were wrong.
Not.
Translation:
Especially when my fake candidacy continues to validate my ego and I'm not even a Republican.
Ding. Ding. Ding!
Wait... wait...
Can’t I get an opus? Let me compose a final thread?
(Whew!)
You really are a world-class jerk. I am not a critic on birther threads. I am sympathetic to what they are saying about the lack of proof that Obama has provided.
But that sympathy sure gets strained when arrogant a-holes like you claim that if you aren't with you 100 percent, you're an Obama supporter.
And since you were dumb enough to fall for Trump in the first place, I guess you're too dumb to realize that polling shows no political damage to Obama over the BC issue. Whereas Trump looks like the combover blowhard he has always been.
Just because a person does not buy into every whackjob conspiracy theory coming down the pike ...

Birtherism is a whackjob conspiracy theory?
While I agree with that, calling the Chinese motherf***ers lacks a certain diplomatic finesse. (It's one thing to think that, another to say it where a microphone will pick it up.)
Imho, he'd made up his mind not to run even before then.
I don’t need to cry to a mod. I can defend my position with facts and logic. And I didn’t “call you names.” Grow up.
I don’t believe Trump ever could have won the Republican nomination, but if he had, we would have had the two greatest narcissists currently in the political arena going head-to-head (I don’t count WJC as still being in the political arena since I see no conceivable scenario in which he runs for any political office except possibly UN Secretary General).
Trump had his strengths and I do believe showed Obama’s vulnerabilities, but whatever strengths he had were greatly outweighed by his out-sized ego and narcissistic lack of perspective (taking credit for having pointed out OBL was in Pakistan? Please!). He’s framed his decision not to run as America’s loss—i.e., IF he’d decided to run, he woulda been a great candidate (perhaps because he went to the “best college in America?”). If he were honest with himself and us, he would acknowledge that the reason he pulled out because he didn’t want to lose. If he seriously thought he could win, there would be nothing stopping his feeding his massive ego by adding POTUS to his trophy collection.
Well, you know, he did say a few weeks ago that whenever he announced his decision, people were going to be surprised. Some people are...I guess.
Maybe he has to go join "his people in Hawaii" who are investigating Ozero's birth certificate and "can't believe what they're finding!" That sounds like really important, sooper seekrit stuff with which "his people" probably need his expert assistance. Yeah...that's the ticket.
You might want to lay off the caffeine a little. Geesh! That ain’t just any ‘mod’.
You must be reading my mail! :-)
one less turd in the punch bowl.LOL!
And we sure have a shit-load of them, don't we.
Maybe next up, Ron Paul will take a job managing The Jewish Affairs Bureau for the Iranians and be too busy to be the gadfly of the debates.
But he could easily bypass all the GOP primaries and run as an independent if Obama needs his help next year...
Not sure what definition of "neutered" your working off of, but recent polls [1][2] indicate a sizable portion of the country questions Barry's LFBC and/or his eligibility.
I wouldn't be surprised if those numbers increase as more people realize they've been snookered by Barry once more.
They just aren't buying anything Barry has for sale.
funniest thing ive ever read on FR. great line.
lol...oh that’s good!
