(CNN) - Real estate mogul and television celebrity Donald Trump, who generated a media publicity blitz by saying he might run for president in 2012, announced Monday that he will instead remain a businessman...With his typical bravado, Trump maintained that he would have won the Republican primary and the general election, but recognized that "running for public office cannot be done half-heartedly."
Game, set, match, Obama.
What a prick. I feel had. I supported this bastard right out of the gate, and for what? Obama's birth certificate? Any moron with half a sense knew he was an American. He's the President of the United States for godssakes. I'm pretty sure someone checked into this soundly before they swore him in.
Let this be a lesson to everyone, if it smells like a used car salesman, it is a used car salesman. Sure Trump's used cars may be '09 Bentley's and Rolls' but they're used all the same.
It's too bad though, he was just getting a hang of the politician game, check out some of these quotes:
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. Proper political bullshit for "My campaign went up in flames when Obama sniped that terrorists ass during my number 1 rated tv show.
I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician's thoughts. Well, nothing political here really, just stating that he'll continue to be loud and obnoxious as always, but he stated it rather eloquently this time, don't you think?
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. Classic politicians move, putting high value to a claimed skill that's nearly impossible to actually quantify. Bravo Mr. Trump, Bravo.
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. Code for "I don't really care about any of this shit, I'm rich as hell and have never had a real job a day in my life, but my speech writers asked me to sprinkle in some of these key political words to make me sound like a man of the people and not a delusional billionaire.
