Donald Trump running for President

This spring, Trump had gained attention by stirring renewed controversy over President Barack Obama's Hawaii birth, leading the White House to persuade the state to release a copy of Obama's long-form birth certificate after two years of dismissing the issue. Trump believed he could have won this election is but now he’s probably rethinking the whole situation. He announced he could have won the White House, he said, but instead will continue to steer his business empire and remain host of his reality show "Celebrity Apprentice."Trump revealed his decision Monday at a meeting of advertising executives who had come to learn about NBC's fall television lineup. The network had been pressing him for a decision, fearing the loss of millions of dollars in ad revenue if "Celebrity Apprentice" didn't return next year."I will not be running for president as much as I'd like to," Trump said to cheers from the audience. Then soon after, Trump made another announcement saying business is his greatest passion."Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector," Trump said.”While Trump's consideration of a run was dismissed as a stunt some Republican pundits and lawmakers, several polls showed him at or near the top of the field both nationally and in early voting states. John McLaughlin, a pollster who would have served as the campaign's senior strategist, said he met with Trump last Thursday to finalize plans for a May 25 announcement, three days after the "Celebrity Apprentice" finale. Some believed he had no chance of winning, others thought he did. His wife, Melania, is a supermodel 23 years his junior. Trump might have been hard-pressed to convince conservative GOP primary voters he was one of them. But his supporters insisted that in a turbulent economy, voters are looking for a strong manager and business leader as president.Trump got wide attention when he kept persisting to see Obama’s birth certicate believing he wasn’t born here. It either made him ignorant and to some people even racist.At a brief appearance before reporters after the birth certificate was made public, Obama indirectly cast Trump as a carnival barker and the controversy as a sideshow. Trump took credit for the release even though it robbed his fledgling candidacy of a signature issue. Obama retaliated days later in his monologue at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, where he poked fun at the birth certificate matter while mocking Trump and his show as Whatever buzz that had remained over a Trump candidacy fully faded. In a May 4 Quinnipiac University national poll, 58 percent of voters said they would never vote for Trump for president, including 32 percent of Republicans. NBC said that "The Celebrity Apprentice" would be coming back in midseason. The show has averaged 8.9 million viewers an episode this season, up 12 percent over last year, the Nielsen Co. said. Although running for President is a huge deal, I think it’s best to say, he’s best with business.
