The Trump bull comes to an end.

Joseph Spector, Wires
ALBANY – Celebrity billionaire Donald Trump said Friday that he won't run for governor in New York, citing the inability of the Republican Party to unite around his potential candidacy.

"While I won't be running for Governor of New York State, a race I would have won, I have much bigger plans in mind- stay tuned, will happen!" Trump said via Twitter at 5:41 p.m.

being elected president. If that would somehow happen, I suggest his first act would be to put the US in to bankruptcy......after all, he has the experience.

only if he didn't have to put out financial disclosure forms and didn't have to run against anyone.

The same went for his run for NYS governor. He wanted the job handed to him.

What a friggin' blowhard.

"With his typical bravado, Trump maintained that he would have won the Republican primary and the general election, but recognized that "running for public office cannot be done half-heartedly."

Ask Palin. And Donald's never done a real day's work in his life.
