Donald Trump in 2012?

[bucpimpin]

Would you vote for him?

I am not sure yet, but  I like a few of his positions, im sure I wont like em all but I would definately choose him over Obama right now.

I pray to the heavens that Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination.

Anyone that will vote again for that incompetent and unqualified fool in the White House is a complete moron who is voting for the "D" instead of the person.

Guy is a freakshow but he at least knows how to run a business (unlike our current Pres).

If its against Romeny - no chance in hell.

they are all a bunch of putz  fueled by ego but at least The Donald would be entertaining. And I'd take this over Chelsea Clinton or the Bush twins anyday

Trump's businesses have declared bankruptcy like 5 times.

I don't know who else might consider running, but I'd vote for Trump over Obama for sure.

Thought you were praying for Palin?

Joking aside, right now during what should be a slam dunk for the R's, the field is notably slim. I think Trump is smart but to much full of his own self importance and indulgence to be taken seriously. I cannot see myself voting for him.

From a policy, ideas and smarts perspective the one person I like is Net Gingrich. I think he might have too much baggage tho despite reminding very much of Reagan in his ideology and sense of purpose. The rest have yet to shine.

You mean he didn't just borrow more money and throw them back into the businesses?  Smarter than our President.

Scott Brown is the dark horse candidate for the Rs. Doubt he runs though.

Trump, if he actually runs this time, is a novelty candidate. I'd love to see Trump, Palin or Bachmann run just for the entertainment value.

Romney can beat Obama as it stands right now.

Yea, business it like that - not allowed to go trillions in the hole and print more money...

I keep hearing that, but only from Liberal outlets.. Which leads me to believe they actually fear him and will probably take the next year giving him the Palin treatment.. Jesus Christ could return and run for president, by the time the Liberal attach force finishes with him he would prob lose.

Trump has my vote at this point.

Trump Palin 2012 would be a good combo.

Trump Palin 2012 would be a good combo.

I'm voting for whoever cuts off the moochers in the most dramatic fashion.

And I'd probably pick those clowns over this one:

You may have heard that business mogul Donald Trump has filed for bankruptcy. Again.

While this isn't a personal filing, Trump is no stranger to bankruptcy. In February 2009, Trump's casino company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc., filed for bankruptcy for the third time. But this time, Trump and his daughter Ivanka quit before the actual filing.


Since the second bankruptcy filing in 2004, Trump has only owned about a quarter of the casino operation, although he continued to serve as Chairman of the Board until February. According to the court filing, the company had $2.06 billion in assets and more than $1.74 billion in liabilities. In order to save the company, Trump made an offer to buy the company and take it private. But he claims that bond holders and "their allies on the board" refused his offer. When the offer was refused, the Trumps walked.

Trump says, "I have nothing to do with [the bankruptcy]. I have nothing to do with the company. I am not involved in the management of the company. I'm not on the board any longer," (FOX News, February 18, 2009).

Ultimately, the casinos will stay open for business. At least one of the casinos will be sold in the spring to a company led by Richard Fields, a former protégé of Donald Trump. Trump has also hinted that he may take action to have his name removed from the casinos (Huffington Post, February 17, 2009).

What about Trump's other properties? Trump International Hotel & Tower project in Chicago is likewise in trouble. Sales were much lower than expected in the 339 hotel rooms and 486 condominium units. Therefore, Trump and his partners have fallen short of the $100 million capital needed to pay off the senior first loan. But Trump and the partner banks have reached a deal with their lenders; they now have until May 2009 to figure out a solution (BloggingStocks, March 4, 2009).

And is all this going to stop Trump? As he explained to FOX, "I just bought something in Washington, a big project in Washington. Just bought a big project in New Jersey. It is a great time to be buying. I'm going to be watching very, very carefully what happens as the time goes by," (FOX News, February 18, 2009).
