Donald Trump, 2012 Presidential Election | featured news

It’s Donald Trump vs. the world in the wake of President Obama’s second term win. Late Tuesday, after Obama’s victory over Mitt Romney was certain, the billionaire real estate mogul and one-time 2012 presidential contender tweeted, “Well, back to the drawing board!”

Donald Trump promised a huge announcement Wednesday that would change the presidential election... Trump's "big" announcement arrived Wednesday, via YouTube, and billed as a bombshell, it was really more of a bust.

President Obama got back at Donald Trump by mocking him -- and himself -- over citizenship claims. "This all dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya," Obama joked to The Tonight Show's Jay Leno on Wednesday. "We had constant run-ins on the soccer field." Obama added to laughter. "He wasn't very good and resented it. ... When we finally moved to America, I thought it would be over."

Yes. If you'd prefer to not click the link there and watch his YouTube, here's the summary: Mitt Romney campaign surrogate Donald Trump will give $5 million to a charity of President Barack Obama's choosing if he provides Trump his college transcripts and passport records by Halloween. Since this is not going to happen, that means that inner-city kids with cancer and AIDS will suffer, or something. Basically, Donald Trump, having gotten nowhere in proving any of the innately stupid conspiracy theories he's promulgated about Obama, now wants Obama to help him.

Donald Trump said he'll be "doing something bigger" than speaking at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is releasing a television advertisement accusing Mitt Romney of failing to stand up to "the voices of extremism" in his party.

When they finally took the stage together, Mr. Romney uttered perhaps the truest statement of the event, which had come together in a last-minute flurry after false reports that Mr. Trump would throw his support behind Newt Gingrich. “There are some things that you just can’t imagine happening in your life,” Mr. Romney said. “This is one of them.”

Real estate mogul Donald Trump, who dropped out of the GOP presidential race months before the first primary, now said he may reluctantly be forced to run as a third party candidate, a decision revealed Sunday on a special Miami broadcast of the CBS News program Face The Nation.

Donald Trump is declaring his independence. After years as a registered Republican, the outspoken real estate mogul has filed paperwork to become an unaffiliated voter in his home state of New York. Trump made the change official Thursday, a move prompted by his stated interest in mounting a third-party presidential run in 2012.

Donald Trump withdrew Tuesday as the moderator of a debate planned for later this month in Iowa, citing his interest in possibly still running for president as an independent. Trump pulled out of a debate he had planned to host along with the conservative magazine Newsmax, scheduled for Dec. 27, just days before the Iowa caucuses. All the GOP presidential candidates save for Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum said they would not participate.
