he is more powerful, has more money, more connections in new york and is older than every candidate.

he's been around a long time and his support base, especially in the money sector is big.

So What Perry probably is a democrat too! People switch parties, Trump is obviously leaning that way now. I don't particularly care for the guy but it happens people, switch.

Jon Huntsman should be an independent or quite possibly run against Obama as a Democrat.

Party doesn't matter so much as does connections, power, and money. That Trump has, and he's NOT going to endorse Obama even it were the end of the world and Obama had the only way off Earth!

Trump like a few of the top busniess men, are looked upto by the political and general populations as "winners".
He represents what a huge proportion of the worlds population seeks, its no supprise that he has such influence, even if it isnt what hes actually after in life.

That said, perhaps some sort of an upper level of wealth/influence is needed, i mean if every super rich guy had an impact in the same way, whos running the country?

The rich know best because they are rich?

Trumps whole game is to do two things.

#1 Make money off of the people running for office by offering venues for them to use.

#2 Use the influence of his Russian wife to allow Russians to buy into politics. Ayn Rand loved the elites she just hated the government in Russia.

The true power of Mr Trump lies in is hair - without that Samson bouffant he's just an everyday Joe billionaire

I was about to post something similar

Its definitely the dew since his net worth according to Forbes has dropped to a paltry $2.8 Billion or so.


I forget which it was on but they made Trumps hair piece into an international spy on either Robot Chicken or TV Fun House. Which ever it was it was funny as hell

Trump is a joke. This is the same narcissist who actually badgered Forbes to put him in their rich list back in the 80's. Back before Forbes did any checking into what person was worth. Trump said he was worth over a billion dollars records prove that at the time he was worth less than $250 million. Of course most of that money then came from his dad Fred Trump, the real source of the Trump wealth.
The real reason why Trump won't run for President is because his finances will be made public and the smoke and mirrors about his supposed wealth will disappear. Hell, over the years 5 of his businesses have been bankrupted, his real talent is avoided responsibility for his failures.
