Would you vote for Donald Trump as president?
It very well could be the Donald in Chief in 2013.
Real estate tycoon and reality TV phenom Donald Trump told Fox News Tuesday that he is seriously considering running for president in 2012.
“For the first time in my life I am actually thinking about it,” Trump said, noting that he’s been asked to run for president by the Reform Party and many others in the past. “I see what has been going on with this country and it has never been worse.”
Trump said that if he runs it will be as a Republican because that is his party. He said it is disgraceful what the world, particularly China, has been allowed to do to America.
Trump said that a businessman’s approach to governing could be of benefit to this nation.
“I love this country. We have a great country, but not really great like it use to be. Let’s face it we are no longer respected like we use to be respected,” he said. “If we keep going like this, within 10 to 12 years, China is going to overtake us easily.”
Sort of sounds good, but I thinking even the Donald couldn’t leap all of the skeletons in his closet.
What do you think?

He would make a fine President and I hope his fortune would help him steer clear of special interest groups and lobbyists.

I wouldn’t vote for Trump, but I would like to see more “powerful”, and successful businessmen try to make a run for President. They would tend to run this country like a business - which it is- surround themselves with others equally as smart, and not be interested in “politics” and focus on the bottom line. That being said-Trump would probably do a better job than the Kenyan we call “president”.

No way. He’s made most of his money by bilking investors and filing for bankruptcy. The man is a crook…..but then again, he’d probably make a good politician. Man is a slime ball.

So, he is a Republican and say’s he’d run the country like a business. So I guess that means he would off shore all the Government jobs overseas, save boatloads of money and keep if for himself. Then use that money and spread lies about his political foes that it is their fault. That’s how business/republicans work at the moment.

He obviously knows how to run a business and make a profit and this nation is so deep in debt that there is almost no way out. If anyone can get us out, he can. On top of that, he obviously knows how to command respect and doesn’t put up with a lot of bull. Heck ya, I’d vote for him in a heartbeat!

i never vote,but if donald trump runs for president i will vote for him.But any man needs more than 4 or 8 years to fix this stuff. I think something in this country needs changed because 4 to 8 years just wont do it.Let them ,if we think they can,stay in office longer.

Donald Trump is a business man first and foremost. He has made mistakes in the past, as we all do, and has risen from the ashes and rebuilt himself. As far as where he stands on certain issues , i mostly agree with his policy. I think Abortion should be a little stricter but thats the only one i see any real problem with. He hits the nail on the head when it comes to Education, Business and Labor, Civil Liberties, Same Sex Issues, and even though he and i both DO NOT smoke pot we both believe that it should be legalized and taxed… He says that big government is a hardship for our country, and i couldnt agree more… Look at what expanding our government has done to us in the past 4 years… Prices of Gas are at an all time high where i live, even the prices of utilities are high. Also, HE IS A BUSINESS MAN, meaning he KNOWS HOW TO CREATE JOBS! As far as it goes he switches between Republican and Democrat because neither party is completely correct… As far as it goes he has his own policy, so that basically states that hes not worried about a political parties policy. So, when looking at all the facts i would have to give Donald J. Trump a serious look. I mean the man has made money for himself. And instead of running off to another country, Mr. Trump would rather think about running for office to change the place hes called home. think about it.. He wont be making Nearly as much as President of our country, and will have to live on that budget. If hes willing to lower his standards of living to get you in a better situation overall why not give him a chance.. End the end dont forget that all we gotta do if he screws up is say ” Mr. Trump, Youre Fired…”

Donald Trump for president, what a JOKE! How desperate are we? Donald Trump was bankrupted not to long ago. If he could not balance his own mega-millions, what makes him thinkS he could balance the countries’. So he started the Apprentice to make a come back. He is on a relents Witch hunt to prove Obama was not born in America. GET OVER IT! This just shows where his focus is. People are struggling, and with all of his millions, his only problem is proving the president is not American. Why don’t you give that money to the poor maybe then we will believe you care about the people and not just about becoming the most powerful man in the country. If you listened to his interview on CNN, he clearly shows he is heartless, and has a big yapping mouth. He was doing a lot of over talking and very little listening. What a miserable man! He thinks he is so smart with his little pointy yapping mouth. What do you call a Dictator? Donald Trump is a control freak. His ego is bigger than his bank account. Having someone like that for president will surly run the country into the ground and put the last nail in our coffin. He needs to worry about fixing his hair and shut up about Obama. We are done with electing Ugly Presidents. We love you OBAMA!

I guess the Mayan Calendar is right. Because if Trump runs for president in 2012 we are all going down in flames. He still cannot figure out how to fix his hair. How can he fix the country?

He runs corporations and let’s face it that’s what America is. We need someone who can run a very large company. I never thought I’d say it, but I’d vote for him.

Donald Trump is what we need. You see how real and straight forward he his. You know he run this country great! He is after the issues I always though but no one wanted to say. Like everything being foreign…. Everything I see in my house, cloths and electronics isn’t American made (most of it). We are getting over ran and taken advantage by immigrants that weaken our country. We have no Border security when people can cross the borders from Mexico all the time. I’m surprised Terrorists haven’t thought of using Mexico as a Gateway Yet…. SERIOUSLY… What’s the purpose of all the Airline Security when they can fly to Mexico, and run across the border…… Even Mexico has a Stricter Law than us against Immigrants. Their President is as crooked as a broken arrow being ran by the Drug lords. Please Donald Trump. You have my Vote. I know you are a great man. You have my vote. I believe in Him. He is smart that is why he has a voice and still has money. He will do much better than Obama. What has Obama done for the country……..nothing.

All the negative reports about Donald Trump drive me nuts. What kind of qualifications did Obama have to govern out great nation? He never ran so much as a hot dog stand before taking the most powerful job in the world. Go Donald Go. Trim our government and get rid of the corruption that makes most Americans sick to their stomach of what our once great nation has become. God Bless America

Of course I would vote for Donald Trump. Why wouldn’t I? A man who spent his life understanding money and economics through risks and pitfalls (for you who don’t know, that is how any real understanding of anything, especially money is truely done), who happens to be a true American and loves his country, (self evident when he wanted to buy ground zero property from a person of certain Islamic origin, offering alot of mega $$$,)and is obviously the only man alive in this great nation who has the aptitude, intestinal fortitude, and otherwise the true grit to wrap his mind around a 3 Trillion Dollar Deficit and be skillful enough to lasso that puppy down to a manageable state! Trying to prove Obama wrong for running for the most elite office in the world without following the rules? Really? Donald does not have to try - Barry already has proven what is wrong all on his own, and every single American has been “dealing with it” in one form or another since. If Donald doesn’t run we possibly will go up in fire, and not because some Maylan died before he could carve out 2012! Go Donald Trump - oh yeah and tell OPEC I really don’t like these high prices on gas! Pretty soon, the people with jobs won’t be able to have enough $$$ to put gas in their cars to go to work! I am a Veteran, as a long line in my family and my spouse’s. Trust me people, Donald Trump is right on about China and everything he says concerning them. I also admire DT’s no nonsense approach while taking no bovine. The media won’t like that though. Too bad. I guess they just like pretty presidents. God Bless You Donald Trump,you are living in such a time as this for a purpose so big, it will surprise even you. You have my vote and prayers.

I personally think Trump would be a good president for a number of reason: He is a true american He obiously knows ALOT about money He wants America to be number 1 again He wants to bring the jobs and businesses back to america He knows how to take control and really knows how to circulate money He knos the obstacles that businesses face. He wants to stop letting China and India steal all the American Jobs and money. 8 He is smart enough to do all these things and has the tools to do so again. he is a true patriot and not one of those boring, dead wood politicians
