By now it's quite obvious to anyone paying attention that Donald Trump will do anything to stay in the spotlight during this election season, despite already calling it quits on his own candidacy. So after very publicly declaring his support for Mitt Romney, a move that caused many Americans to engage in collective eye-rolling, Trump would now like you to know how proud he is that Mitt made it to victory in Nevada. Because where would poor old Mitt be without The Donald? ![]()
After throwing in the towel for his own bullshit-loaded, presidential race pre-campaigning that predictably amounted to NOTHING, Donald Trump has decided to endorse Mitt Romney's bid in the 2012 election.
There had previously been rumors that Trump -- the loud-mouthed, over-bronzed birther -- would back Newt Gingrich, but he was apparently wooed by the Mormon millionaire after watching televised debates and "supports Romney's stance on China, which has been a key issue" according to USA Today.

Donald Trump spoke to SmartMoney recently and revealed some things of potential interest to the career-interested layperson. For one, though he's 65, he's planning to stick around for a long time, work-wise: "My father, who worked until he passed away at 93, used to always say, 'to retire is to expire.' And I feel the same way. I love what I'm doing - and when you love what you're doing, you don't retire."![]()
What's the difference between Donald Trump and your uncle who stares at everyone's breasts at Christmas, and spends the rest of his year calling in to talk-radio shows?
Not much these days, though the ersatz developer turned reality-show "star" has an ugly history of death penalty rants that makes his outburst Tuesday afternoon noteworthy.
"An absolute disgrace," is Trump's verdict on last week's Norway massacre, "but maybe the most disgraceful thing," says the Donald, is that the shooter won't be killed. They "ought to bring back the death penalty," says the Donald in his latest "From the Desk of Donald Trump" posting on YouTube. "They ought absolutely execute this maniac."

Did you expect that Donald Trump would remain silent when the opportunity arose for him to discourse about another man's misdeeds? Au contraire! Many people have asked him what he thinks about Anthony Weiner, and the Donald does not disappoint the people. Today, he posted this video, in which he says that he knew all along something was wrong with Weiner. For one thing, Weiner always wanted campaign contributions from Trump! But also, the fact is, according to Trump, Weiner is "a psycho...a boiler ready to explode." So Trump was not surprised at all about Weinergate. Except for what he didn't realize. But then he realized it, and he knew everything. The End.

Trump, who has since tried to stoke talk of his running as an independent, reprised his calls for Obama's birth certificate -- though the White House officially released a long-form copy of the document in April."I don't know exactly what he showed, but you know, some day somebody's gonna figure that one out," he said.
Someday.
