Trump Considering 2012 Run

According to both Politico and several interviews, business magnate Donald Trump is considering running for the Presidency in 2012. Trump, a Republican, said that he believes that President Obama is "totally over his head."

“I respect him; I like him; I think he’s wonderful in many ways,” the real estate mogul said on MSNBC on Thursday. “I think he has been not good for business, and honestly – and very sadly – the world does not respect this country, and therefore, I think the world doesn’t respect our leader. He’s a nice man, but I think he’s totally over his head.”
Furthermore, Trump is talking about possibly challenging current Republican front-runner Sarah Palin in the nomination battle should he decide to run.

"I am thinking about things. And I'm looking at this country ... and what's happened in terms of respect, and the respect for this country is just not there," Trump tells ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos.

"I have many people from China that I do business with, they laugh at us. They feel we're fools. And almost being led by fools. And they can't believe what they're getting away with.”
Trump also made similar points on MSNBC yesterday, saying that China was beating the US economically in some fields. It is still unclear if Trump will run, but with the United States still in a protracted economic slump, he may be welcomed by part of the GOP. Considering that Mitt Romney is the only other candidate that would claim business success, Trump would probably outshine the former Governor of Massachusetts.
