New York (CNN)—Donald Trump is finally taking the plunge.

The real estate mogul and TV reality star launched his presidential campaign Tuesday, ending more than two decades of persistent flirtation with the idea of running for the Oval Office.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again," Trump told the crowd, in a lengthy and meandering speech that hit on his signature issues like currency manipulation from China and job creation, as well as taking shots at the president and his competitors on the Republican side.

What do you get when you add together Pat Paulsen and 9 billion dollars?

A VERY expensive joke.

He apparently hasn’t filed with the FEC yet so this isn’t official.

I knew this clown was going to jump into the race.

He has been flooding all the conservative message boards for weeks now with anti Cruz posters trying to drive a wedge between conservatives and Cruz over free trade.

The Donald is NOT a conservative. DO NOT be fooled.

The Donald is on a missing to derail Cruz. There is a reason all the other candidates that support fast track are being given a pass while all the shots are being directed at Cruz.

Use your brain people.

At least he accurately described the current economic and health insurance picture. He is a breath of fresh air if nothing else.

you defame Steve Forbes

Steve has been in the presence of most of the then world leaders while sitting at his fathers knee. Steve is a great man.

To mention Steve Forbes in a derogatory sentence with Donald Trump and What’s his name is to exhibit profound ignorance

“He has been flooding all the conservative message boards for weeks now with anti Cruz posters trying to drive a wedge between conservatives and Cruz over free trade.”

****

Trump is a modern day P.T. Barnum but the criticism of Cruz is on the merits because of his crony capitalist stance on TPA/TPP.

I voted for Cruz for Senate (primary and general election). He was my top choice for the GOP nomination despite his advocacy for H-1B visas. Even bought one of the autographed Cruz posters from Sabo.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was Cruz’s actions and words re: TPA. Had nothing to do with Trump and his circus.

And thus a bad joke becomes simply ridiculous.

Trump doesn’t know squat about manufacturing. That much is clear. He says he’ll impose a 35% tax on cars built outside the USA but the simple fact is that there isn’t a single car built 100% in the USA.

Then he goes on to brag about how rich he is.

He’s like the world’s first honest communist.

Trump may not get the bid but in the process he'll do a number on Jebby and the Hag and any other phony politician candidate

Curse of The Bushes...

Pappy Bush runs moderate and Ross Perot sucks votes away... Result: Bill Clinton for 8 years...

Junior runs as a conservative and gets 8 years in office (I said “runs as” dammit, I didn’t say he *was* a conservative...)

Jebthro runs as a moderate, Trump enters with an appeal to independents and blue collar voters...Result: do we get 8 years of Hillary Clinton?

As screwed up as Hillary is, she has to be loving this moment, because her odds just got better. Donald Trump for president: “I’m Hillary Clinton and I approved this message”... paid for by ULosePubbies.com, a division of the Soros Foundation’s Open Society programming.

I agree with you if he can do what he says. I loved what he said about Ford Motor and Mexico. First time I have paid any attention to him. Don't even watch his show. If he performs like he says he will and I think he might...Putin you are fired LOL
