BREAKING: Trump not running for president
By: CNN Political Unit

(CNN) - Real estate mogul Donald Trump will not run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, he said in a statement released Monday.

"After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency," Trump said in the statement.

The famously confident reality television star, who has spent the last few months openly considering a run for president said, "I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election."

He said he will continue to voice his opinions and eventually support the candidate "who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country's most important issues."

Full release:

"After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country. 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. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.

I want to personally thank the millions of Americans who have joined the various Trump grassroots movements and written me letters and e-mails encouraging me to run. My gratitude for your faith and trust in me could never be expressed properly in words. So, I make you this promise: that I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician's thoughts. 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. I will continue to push our President and the country's policy makers to address the dire challenges arising from our unsustainable debt structure and increasing lack of global competitiveness. Issues, including getting tough on China and other countries that are methodically and systematically taking advantage of the United States, were seldom mentioned before I brought them to the forefront of the country's conversation. They are now being debated vigorously. 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. I will not shy away from expressing the opinions that so many of you share yet don't have a medium through which to articulate.

I look forward to supporting the candidate who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country's most important issues and am hopeful that, when this person emerges, he or she will have the courage to take on the challenges of the Office and be the agent of change that this country so desperately needs."

Thank you and God Bless America!
Donald J. Trump

So much for him telling his supporters that they would be very happy with his announcement. I liked his strong talk about standing up to our adversaries, it sounded good and we need someone with a spine. But how much dignity can be achieved when a 'leader' uses the foul language he did in Las Vegas? It was his Howard Dean moment. That's my opinion and I'm not leaving with or without my dog.

No surprise here. This is exactly what I expected. He milked the situation for all it was worth (attention) and got the hell out of town when it was decision time. I'm sorry for those that fell for his tough-man act, but this was expected and is for the best.

Trump talked a tough game but tucked his tail when it came decision time.

I like him but he was milked the situation My wife was right about him
they are all backing down ? In my book they were told to back off
something not right with this Pictuer.
