Surprise, surprise. Well, maybe not for me. Looks like the sideshow is over, at least for now. “After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the presidency,” Trump announced in a statement on Monday. Of course, being Donald Trump, he continued: “I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and, ultimately, the general election.”
Of course.
I know that the only time I ever decide not to run for president is when I would win.
It was good while it lasted, though. I never really considered The Donald to be anything other than a megalomaniac fattening at the trough of the media, but I did enjoy his self-centered non-conformist style. If only all politicians would at least be honest about their love for themselves.
See you later, Donald! I guess we just have to wait until your next self promotion opportunity?
And I was really hoping to see the Apprentice/White House crossover.
ReplyDeletetrump is so evil he casts no shadow! or maybe that means hes a ground hog >.>
ReplyDeleteAnd nothing of value was lost.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I got it wrong, but I think this was more of an affect of the past two weeks (Birth Certificate presented/Osama shot in the eye) bringing down his poll numbers, and it also coincides with being a day or two after the news of television cancellations came out. I think if Celebrity Apprentice was cancelled he would have run. Instead it was picked up for another season.
ReplyDeleteWhat a relief. His apparent honesty about what his motives would be for actions such as attacking Libya (i.e. in the nations best interest because of oil) did provide a different twist on the normal political double-talk. The world is a better place with him staying in his fantasy TV world.
ReplyDeleteWhat a man. Only his mum could love him lol.
ReplyDeletehehehe, I really dont think he could have made it, but then again thats what they said about a black president
ReplyDeleteAs a businessman, I'm sure he saw a political campaign with little chance of success as a poor investment. I'm not surprised he didn't run either.
