Donald Trump Tells Friends He Will Run for President, Report Says

After months of back-and-forth over whether he might run for president, Donald Trump is now telling friends he will definitely throw his hat in the ring in 2012.

The billionaire real estate mogul has said he will announce his candidacy as a Republican when the current season of his hit NBC show "The Apprentice" ends in the spring, Newsmax reported Thursday.

Earlier this week, Trump told Forbes he was encouraged by surveys that found his business acumen would be seen as a positive by voters.

"Polls have come out and have been very strong," Trump said. "A recent poll came out where Trump and [Bill] Gates are the only two that beat [President Barack] Obama. Gates isn't running obviously, but they put names on it, and we're the only ones who beat Obama."

Newsmax said Trump has been seeking recommendations on potential political advisers and that he would focus initially on the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.

"I have dealt with politics all of my life indirectly and directly," Trump said in the Forbes interview. "I would say few people have raised more money for politicians than I have over the years. And the other thing is I don't need money to run, unlike other people, so that's a big advantage. And that's an advantage for the voters, too, you know, because you don't have to make deals."

Trump did not comment Thursday.

In December, Trump told ABC's "Good Morning America" that mounting a White House campaign "could be fun because I'd like to see some positive things happen for the country." But earlier last year Trump denied considering a run for the White House.

Trump toyed with running in 1988 and again before the 2000 election, but never officially filed a candidacy.

Well he certainly can't do any WORSE!

Actually, I think he might make a pretty good president......he's not someone who'd take any crap off anyone else.

And if he doesn't like them, well then......."YOU'RE FIRED!''

Imagine what Rosie will have to say about that LOL. I can just see her now telling Obama that she will be his VP and how she will whip his (Trump's) a$$

When I think of Palin, I can't help seeing her with her rifle on her shoulder and a smile on her face right before she FIRES.

Unluckily politics has turned into a joke. How many politicians have lately made the headlines not for what they have done FOR you but what they have done AGAINST you. The way they are going they might make the mafia look like choir boys.

I have read most of his books and just finished Ivankas book., I would vote for him in a second.
He is certainly no joke., just because he has a television show, means absolutely nothing, read any one of his books and you will certatinly see what a genius he truly is. He's been a leader in business way before he was asked to be on a television show., just the fact that he is pist off at what is happening in America right now says something about his passion.

Genius??? No he just has a very good bankruptcy attorney. Our country cannot afford another spend thrift like him. Check his record on business and you will find he has filed bankruptcy more than anyone should be allowed.

Have you ever read any of his books?
His businesses have filed for bankruptcy, he, himself has not.
Thats what having an LLC is all about.
