Ten Legitimate Excuses Trump Can Use To Explain Why He Won’t Run For President

Gallery
» 16 comments

With just a couple weeks left of the Celebrity Apprentice (the finale airs May 22), the time is coming near to when Donald Trump promised to announce his intentions regarding whether or not he will run for President. Although it might seem like a safe bet that Trump will run, at least for the opportunity to grab some more spotlight with debate performances that are guaranteed to be entertaining, there are plenty of very real reasons why Trump might decide not to pull the trigger.

Check out ten mostly legitimate excuses (and only a couple of which are intended to be humorous) that Trump might rely on to explain exactly why he might not run, despite the fact that his campaign would be “huge!”

    Ten Legitimate Excuses Trump Can Use To Explain Why He Won’t Run For President.

    Well if that is all Media Matters could come up with in two months of dogging Trump, I believe we all know who’s going to be our next president. His initials aren’t Barack Obama either.

  • TerryDo

    Is that wishful thinking on your part MediaMatters that Trump won’t run?

    He will run and he will be the front runner for the GOP and he will give Americans ten excellent reasons why he should be their president.

    What America needs now in a future president is someone who is one of the best business leaders in America, someone who is not afraid to negotiate, someone who is not so timid to demand conditions before he negotiates with known enemies, someone who knows how to run a large corporation because that is what the federal government has turned into, one large cumbersome conglomerate. And Donald Trump fills that résumé.

    except for the post by terry do, i didn’t find anything humorous here…i want my money back!

  • felixw

    How about ten legitimate excuses for giving ten times as much coverage to Trump as compared to all the other Republican candidates….even as Trump’s poll numbers shrink more and more?

    Mediaite covers only those criticisms of Obama that it can easily rebuff, meanwhile ignoring all the substantive critiques. What an amazing daily demonstration of denial!

    There are not enough dumb bigoted rednecks in America for Trump to win so let the fool run and let the human refuge who want to vote for him cast their vote. They are already losers and they will of course lose.

    How about the fact Trump would just be a bad POTUS.
    Don’t get me wrong, Obama IS a bad POTUS.
    But i’m not going to trade one bad POTUS for another.
    I’m not going to do to this country what the left did in November of 2008.

    Either the Republicans get a real person to run for POTUS (like Ron Paul) or i’m just not going to vote in 2012.

    I’m not going to betray my country by voting for the unqualified douche (Trump) or the unqualified turd sandwitch (Obama).

    Fine, now why not do a Ten Reasons Obama Should Not Run for Reelection?

    Frankly, I’d rather have a capitalist patriot like Trump in the White House than you know who.

    TEN REASONS?

    I can think of 100′s why Mao-Oba shouldn’t! LMFAO-HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!

  • Snidely

    How about, he can’t afford the pay cut?

  • murphy0071

    Let me guess. Trump was involved in a Gay prostitution ring that pimped out Donald. Oh, that’s right he has already pimped himself out as a politico who needs a White House to run his scams.
