Trump bails on 2012

After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. 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. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election. I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.

I want to personally thank the millions of Americans who have joined the various Trump grassroots movements and written me letters and e-mails encouraging me to run. My gratitude for your faith and trust in me could never be expressed properly in words. So, I make you this promise: that I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician’s thoughts. My ability to bring important economic and foreign policy issues to the forefront of the national dialogue is perhaps my greatest asset and one of the most valuable services I can provide to this country. I will continue to push our President and the country’s policy makers to address the dire challenges arising from our unsustainable debt structure and increasing lack of global competitiveness. Issues, including getting tough on China and other countries that are methodically and systematically taking advantage of the United States, were seldom mentioned before I brought them to the forefront of the country’s conversation. They are now being debated vigorously. I will also continue to push for job creation, an initiative that should be this country’s top priority and something that I know a lot about. I will not shy away from expressing the opinions that so many of you share yet don’t have a medium through which to articulate.

I look forward to supporting the candidate who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country’s most important issues and am hopeful that, when this person emerges, he or she will have the courage to take on the challenges of the Office and be the agent of change that this country so desperately needs.

Thank you and God Bless America!

PRESIDENT OBAMA VS. THE HATERS


It seems like all the political talk nowadays is about how President Obama is a horrible president and isn't doing anything he promised during his presidential campaign. What was said and will be said again is...how much improvement can be done to an already hurt economy in 4 years? It's not that easy as everyone thinks, especially when you have opposing parties against you, scrutinizing your every move and decision.


Last night at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it was President Obama's turn to call out all the haters, most predominantly Donald Trump, a potential presidential candidate for the upcoming elections in 2012. After the "controversy" regarding Obama's legal U.S. birthplace, the President put everyone in their place. Other people he roasted were FOX News, Michele Bachman, Matt Damon, and even his VP Joe Biden, but most of the speech was directed at self-proclaimed big shot Donald Trump.


In response to his public humiliation, Trump said to Fox and Friends, "Well, I really understood what I was getting into, I didn't know that I'd be virtually the sole focus. But I was certainly in a certain way having a good time listening." The annual event was "inappropriate in certain respects." The Donald even called out Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers who hosted the dinner and openly skewered Trump saying, "his delivery frankly was not good. I had no idea it would be to that extent, where you know, it was just joke after joke after joke. It was almost like, is there anyone else they could talk about?" calling him a "stutterer."


Seeing these videos, I was completely caught off guard because I didn't know it was "okay" for the president to call out people at a formal annual dinner. But I am glad he shutup all the haters who have been constantly criticizing him. This shows that President Obama isn't phased by all the hate remarks he's been getting during his presidency and is not afraid to give others a taste of their own medicine.
