Donald Trump Not Running for President

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.

Story developing…

[DangerZone]

Huckabee out. Trump out. So will Palin be next?

[patriot08]

Told you so..right from the start.
He was messing with the usurper.

I don’t give a care how long ANYONE has been a FReeper. If they are an anti-birther, they are an Obama-bot stooge as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t like Trump. Who does? But for some FReepers to base their anti-Trump vitriol on how he was damaging Obama is messed up.

[rxsid]

"He did the job he was hired to do - made a fuss over the Birth Certificate and took the eyes of everyone off the economy and the shenanigans of the admin for awhile.

The whole thing was a scam and a set up from the get go to allow the WH to ‘diffuse’ the whole Birther argument."

Actually, Barry's eligibility issue really hasn't been "diffused" completely:

"Gallup: Most still question Obama's birth
Less than 1/2 of Americans say prez 'definitely' born in U.S.

The White House called it "proof positive" of Barack Obama's Hawaiian birth but there still are significant numbers of Americans – tens of millions in fact – who don't believe the online image of a "Certificate of Live Birth" represents the full and open truth.

According to a new Gallup Poll reported by USA Today, only 47 percent of those surveyed say they think Obama "definitely" was born in the United States.

An additional 18 percent say he "probably was."

Jerome Corsi’s new book, "Where’s the Birth Certificate?", is now available for immediate shipping, autographed by the author, only from the WND Superstore

But the poll, taken May 5-8 of 1,018 adults with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, shows that 5 percent say he definitely was born elsewhere, another 8 percent say he probably was born elsewhere and 20 percent say they don't know enough to say. "

It remains to be seen, if Trump now goes after Barry's clearly fraudulent LFBC...perhaps even going after the actual "natural Born Citizen" issue in that Barry was a born multi-national.

Now that Trump is clear of the (R) primaries...he can bring those issues up since he's had his foot in that door...and the state run media would not be able to tie it to the (R) race nearly as much as they did previously.

[dirtboy]

He took the Republicans to school on how to beat Obama.

More like how to NOT beat Obama. Yeah, that BC issue really dinged Obama, didn't it?

Uh, no, it didn't.

[Huck]

‘Trump's Chumps’ someone named them.

That was me.

[Perdogg]

There was a line in the first “Men in Black” where someone said to the effect that individually people are not dumb, but collectively it was a different story.

[patriot08]

Trump statement shortly before ‘Ben Laden found and killed’:

‘They know where Ben Laden is.
How could you lose a 6 ft Arab on dialysis?’

Kinda made it necessary for the Marxist/Muslim usurper to
go after Ben Laden now instead of using it to his advantage during the 2012 elections.

Hi pissant! See you have a new name.....

[Cicero]

Trump is not a conservative. He recently said that he was a Christian, and he said that he was pro-life, and he said that he was a Republican, but from his past record, it’s extremely doubtful if any of that was true.

He did a great job bringing the birth issue to the fore. At first I thought he might be doing it for hillary.

But then we had Obie’s charade about a new COLB from Hawaii, and then we had the bin Ladin affair take the birth issue right off the news.

So, there’s at least some possibility that Trump was working for Obama the whole time. By raising the BC issue, he made it possible for Obie to produce his new COLB after refusing to do so for about three years. It gave Obie a convenient excuse for finally producing it, without people asking the puzzling question, Why now?

Then, blam, bin Ladin hits the news. What a coincidence! Could it be that the two things were orchestrated to happen at the same time? They’ve known where bin Ladin was for months, but they decided to do it in conjunction with the birth certificate. Or maybe they told Trump it was time to start his act.

The new COLB is an obvious forgery. Will Trump say anything about that? I doubt it. Not if he was working for Obama all along.

Job done. Back to business.

All this is speculative, of course. But let’s see if Trump has anything more to say about the birth certificate, in particular the blatant fact that the new COLB is a forgery.

Really? The subject is Trump is not running. Perhaps you can link me to a previous thread. Since I appear to be guilty of “posting without reading”.

if Allen West said he WAS running, that would really put the icing on the cupcake.

Oh yeah!

"And what’s the end result? Obama’s ratings are going up."

Really?

"Back to reality: Obama poll rating falls below 50 per cent as 'Bin Laden bounce' wears off

President Barack Obama's approval rating has slipped to 48 per cent - ending the so called 'Osama bounce'.

The President had enjoyed a near record high of 51 per cent in the days following the death of Osama bin Laden on May 2.

But with many Americans focused on rising gas prices, high unemployment and a troubled economy, Obama has been swiftly brought back to reality with a bump according to the latest set of Gallup poll numbers.

According to pollsters, the economy is top priority for Americans, with three in four naming some type of economic issue as the 'most important problem' facing the country today.

General economic concerns occupy 35 per cent of respondents, while 22 per cent are focused on unemployment.

The news comes as the President announced a U-turn in his previously cautions oil drilling rhetoric.

On Saturday, the president outlined plans for what he called 'safe and responsible' drilling, with the emphasis on speeding up the leasing process for the Alaska National Petroleum Reserve.

He also plans to create better financial incentives in oil company leases, extending the leases for those in the Gulf of Mexico.

On top of this, the President also fast-tracked test exploration off the east coast in a bid to promote the possible exploitation of reserves there.

Just weeks after the President released his 'long-form' birth certificate, another recent poll suggests a sizeable minority of Americans still doubt he was born on U.S. soil.

According to Gallup, 47 per cent of Americans now say he was definitely born in the U.S., up from 38 per cent in April.

the poll also revealed that 18 per cent of Americans are still unsure about his country of birth, while 13 per cent say he was 'probably or definitely' born in another country.

Many people still don't think Barry is creadible...and that includes his clearly bogus LFBC.

You got it!

"He can keep the heat on Team Obama without being in the fray."

Exactly!

[jersey117]

Totally agree. If the second BC which obama himself released, is by some chance proven to be a forgery, he’s finished. I for one am not giving up. There are some credible people out there still working on this

[Cicero]

See my post 90. If I’m wrong, maybe Trump will speak up again. But I strongly doubt it.

[Indy Pendance]

Let me clarify that I was referencing the duplicate threads, not your post. Sorry I wasn’t clearer.

[Responsibility2nd]

That’s OK. As I take a second and third look at your reply, I see I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Thanks!
