BOSTON – Billionaire real estate magnate and television personality Donald Trump said yesterday that he will not run for the White House in 2012, thinning the field of potential Republican candidates.
The host of NBC-TV’s Celebrity Apprentice said that his decision followed “considerable deliberation and reflection” after weeks of an unofficial campaign.
“I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election,” Mr Trump said. – (Reuters)
