Sez he will make another season of his TV show instead.

Trump never was running. This was nothing but a media fueled frenzy that got him a lot of press. Anyone that actually thought he was going to run should have their voter card taken away.

The television season is wrapping up, sweeps week is over, and he doesn't need to generate publicity to get people to watch his show until next fall.

He was never a serious presidential candidate. He wouldn't have been able to get past the financial disclosure obstacles. They would have shown him for the imposter he is.

chuckle, you.

good one.

He's a distracting clown in the area of politics (and other areas). Buckle up, there will be increasing turbulence like this until Dec 2012.

I guess we have the TV network show renewal schedule to thank for sparing us a few more months of his "candidacy". He had to tell them now whether he'd be available for his show.

Well he is 64 and out of shape. Maybe he should start with a brisk walk.

How long before he hits the airways again to tell us how he stirred us up and got us moving and asking questions and how proud he is of himself?

I would like to hear what his investigators found. He really talked that up and up and up until Obama let all the hot air out of his balloon.

They found that they can get money from Trump.

He had nothing. I have watched maybe three of his shows. His decisions are arbitrary. Void of any 'always required' supporting facts to support that decision. He just says things because he 'knows' it must be true. And everyone around him constantly tells him that he made a good decision. Lot's of yes-men. No hard facts. Why would anyone even consider him a leader? Even his empire is a facade. What some news reporters love to get on the air or get their byline on the front page.

Trump is a kind of person that Barbara Walters, for some strange reason, calls newsworthy.

I'm also certain that whatever he was told by his investigators, what the investigators actually did have amounted to nothing, or less.
