Business man and tv personality Donald Trump announced his intentions to run for the USA presidency today:
June 16, 2015
Real-estate mogul and reality-television star Donald Trump said Tuesday he will seek the Republican nomination for president. He’s the 12th high-profile Republican to enter the 2016 race, with more to come in the weeks ahead.
“All of my life, I have heard, a truly successful person, a really successful person, and even a modestly successful person, cannot run for public office, just can’t happen,” Trump said. “Yet that’s the kind of mindset you need to make this country great again.
“So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again.” http://www.aol.com/article/2015/06/16/donald-trump-announces-hes-running-for-president/21196754/?icid=maing-grid7%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl5%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D-1344786222

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.” http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/16/politics/donald-trump-2016-announcement-elections/
Here is an item about someone’ s opinion of Donald Trump’s possible impact on the election:
June 16, 2015
Donald Trump is not going to be president of the United States.
This the entire nation could probably agree on, even as he announced Tuesday his official bid for the White House.
“I have heard that a truly successful person, a really, really successful person, and even modestly successful, cannot run for public office. Just can’t happen. And yet that’s the kind of mind-set that you need to make this country great again,” Trump said Tuesday from his announcement at Trump Tower in New York City. “So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again.”
How The Donald could affect 2016:
1. Trump could poll high enough to kick a more typical—if less famous—candidate off the Fox and CNN debate stages: candidates who aren’t polling as well as others will participate only in a bottom-tier contest. If by name recognition alone Trump is pushed to the top of the qualifying polls …
2. A Trump candidacy is great news for the news. Trump is always good for a sound bite: He’s unabashedly confident, speaks with what’s at most a very thin filter, and has very little to lose.
During his announcement Tuesday, in what appeared to be a joke, Trump connected his business success in the United States with the Islamic State.
“Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East,” Trump said. “They’ve become rich. I’m in competition with them. They just built a hotel in Syria. Can you believe this? They built a hotel.” …
3. In that way, he’s able to throw the news cycle off track by vacuuming up airtime and making other candidates answer for him. …
… but why it won’t matter for very long
1. He’s able to throw the news cycle off track by vacuuming up airtime and making other candidates answer for him. No, this is not a copy-and-paste mistake: The same quality that could make him a force on the campaign trail suggests to voters that he is unserious. His quip about being wealthier than Mitt Romney is entertaining—and “almost assuredly true,” according to The Des Moines Register—but it doesn’t actually add anything to the larger debate. It’s just another quote at which voters can chuckle as they open their wallets for another candidate.
2. Trump is essentially running for fun—and a possible ratings boost. This might be the first time Trump has formally declared a full-blown campaign for the presidency, but it’s hardly the first time he has floated the idea—and been accused of doing so for less-than-honorable reasons.
3. Seventy-four percent. That’s the number of Republican voters who said in a March poll that they could never see themselves voting for Trump. http://www.nationaljournal.com/2016-elections/donald-trump-president-run-2016-announcement-20150616
Here is some information about him:
In February 2012, Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president of the United States.Trump was an early supporter of Ronald Reagan for president of the United States. At the 2011 CPAC conference, Trump stated that he is “pro-life” and “against gun control.” He has spoken before Tea Party supporters.Trump has expressed concern that vaccines may be linked to autism.In May 2015, Trump opposed giving President Obama fast track trade authority for the Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement. Instead, he has called for stronger negotiations with China on trade and tariffs if necessary.Trump has advocated a policy of stronger leadership to deal with the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) which he has blamed for high oil prices.(Donald Trump. Wikipedia, accessed 06/15/15)
Not that I think he is necessarily better or worse than the others who have announced their candidacies, I do not believe the Donald Trump can make the USA great again.
He tries to have a pragmatic message and tends to talk tough about China, and that may appeal to some. When I have seen some of his decisions and information related to them, let me simply state that I do not believe he is attempting to imitate Jesus Christ.
The USA truly needs national repentance. None of the current presidential candidates, including “the Donald,” has called for that.
