Now Donald Trump is running for president June 17, 2015

Now Donald Trump has announced that he too is running for the Republican presidential nomination.  That makes 12 candidates so far.

Question:  Would any of you vote for him over the other contenders? If so, I’d like to hear from you.

UPDATE:   He has announced who he wants for his Vice Presidential running mate:  Oprah Winfrey.

From Donald Trump Says He’s Running for President in 2016 – ABC News:

The Donald is running for president.

Real-estate mogul and reality-television star Donald Trump said Tuesday he will seek the Republican nomination for president. He’s the 12th high-profile Republican to enter the 2016 race, with more to come in the weeks ahead.

“All of my life, I have heard, a truly successful person, a really successful person, and even a modestly successful person, cannot run for public office. Just can’t happen,” Trump said. “Yet that’s the kind of mindset you need to make this country great again.

“So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again,” he said.

Trump made the announcement at the midtown Manhattan tower that bears his name before a small crowd of supporters, some wearing campaign shirts saying “Make America Great Again!” and “No More Career Politicians.” A few held homemade signs: “Trump knows business” and “Donald, we need you.”

Trump has teased presidential runs before, but has always backed out. But in preparation for the 2016 campaign, Trump decided not renew his contract with NBC for his reality show, “The Apprentice.” He cannot appear on the network and run for president at the same time.

After forming a presidential exploratory committee in March, Trump has also hired political operatives on the ground in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. He has also been a frequent visitor to the early voting states in recent months.
