Donald Trump officially announced that he will NOT run for president

Well, thats it folks, the show is over.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/16/breaking-trump-not-running-for-president/?hpt=T1
"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

He looked like such a politician at the end of his roast on comedy central, no one said anything about him being president then at the end he makes it seem as if he held the roast just to help him with his campaign

What a surprise this is. *YAWN* He knew from the reaction of the majority of people that vote he had no chance of winning. This person is a joke. He is just another greedy bloodsucking leach who will be remembered fondly by others like him only. What a dickless wonder he is!

Hey I'm an average American who thinks that whoever's president at the time MAKES ANY FUCKING DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE.
Yup that's me.

Yes, I know that whoever's president doesn't affect my life because I ignore politics. Your logic is astounding.

Not a surprise, but I'm glad to see it officially. I knew a lot of people who thought Trump could actually "save the country". Donald Trump's support just really shows how star power can completely blind people. I did a presentation on Trump for a class a few weeks ago and immediately turned his supporters around to my side. All I needed to do was state actual facts about him in a logical, sane way. This was really an amazing move for his personal career, though, and gave him all the attention he wanted. Really got everyone talking about him.

I'm sure that no real politician gives a shit what Trump has to say. The man doesn't even know what the thirteen stripes on the American flag mean.
