Donald Trump finally took the plunge.
The real estate mogul
and TV reality star launched his presidential campaign Tuesday, ending
more than two decades of persistent flirtation with the idea of running
for the Oval Office.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially
running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our
country great again," Trump told the crowd in a lengthy and meandering
45-minute speech that hit on his signature issues like currency
manipulation from China and job creation, while also taking shots at the
president and his competitors on the Republican side.
"Sadly the
American dream is dead," Trump said at the end of his speech. "But if I
get elected president I will bring it back bigger and better and
stronger than ever before." Just over four years after he came closer
than ever to launching a campaign before bowing out, Trump made his
announcement at the lavish Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York,
laying out a vision to match campaign slogan,
"Make America Great Again." The Tower, also home to "The Apprentice"
television shows, crystallized the challenge Trump faces as he looks to
win over voters. Trump has already billed himself as the "most
successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far," pointing out
even that he owns a "Gucci store that's worth more than Romney He
famously fanned the flames of the "birther" movement and today takes
credit for President Barack Obama's decision to release his birth
certificate -- which Trump said this year at CPAC hasn't completely
quelled his concerns.
US real estate mogul and billionaire
Donald Trump slammed the Obama administration over its Trans-Pacific
Partnership (TPP) trade deal, labeling it as disastrous and warning that
it will encourage US companies to slash domestic jobs. Donald Trump, a
man who has previously and may once again tout himself as a presidential
candidate, believes that the American justice system is too slow and
cumbersome to deal with whistleblowers like former NSA analyst Edward
Snowden. In a stunning development for the ostracized, often
criticized, vaccine safety awareness movement, cause celebre, and
business mogul, Donald Trump raised concern about vaccinations on
Monday, April 2, the anniversary of the fifth annual World Autism
Awareness Day. Trump ‘warned’ Fox News viewers he “strongly believes
that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are linked to exposure to vaccines
Ron Paul claimed he didn’t get the endorsement of Donald Trump because
he was the only Republican presidential “candidate that didn’t kiss his
ring.”
