MANHATTAN — In the ongoing brouhaha over whether or not New York real estate giant Donald Trump will be casting his political net in 2012, the latest sign points to "yes."
Donald Trump is "absolutely thinking about" running for president in 2012, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Joe Scarborough tweeted after Tuesday's a.m. program.
During the program, Trump emphasized America's problems, highilighting that "this country is really being treated unfairly and very badly by our so-called friends, like China and other countries."
To make it a more level playing field, the multi-millionare had a few suggestions.
"First thing I would do, we have great business people in this country, better than anybody. I would name you people I won't do now, 10 brutal killers that are smarter than anybody," Trump told MSNBC Tuesday morning.
"The first thing I'd do is get rid of stupid diplomats representing us that don't have a clue other than being nice and put in some of our killers against their killers, I'll bet on ours every time. We don't have the proper people representing us."
"Somebody has to do something," Trump urged. "We are losing this country."
This comes a day after CNN reported a New Hampshire poll that cited local residents views on potential 2010 Republican Presidential candidates, including Donald Trump.
In an interview with CNN Monday, Donald Trump said that he was not behind September's New Hampshire poll, but was very interested in its results. On CNN's "American Morning," Trump suggested that the prez's job just wasn't for him.
"It's not something I talked about or consider, but somebody has to do something or this country is not going to be a very great country for long," he said.
The person or program behind the poll remains a mystery. The questions about Trump ranged from opinions of him, to whether or not residents were aware that he has previously donated money to Democratic candidates in the past, according to TIME magazine.
Among other contributions, Trump gave $6,000 to Andrew Cuomo's campaign in October.
"I've been very outspoken..." Trump said to CNN Monday, referring to his political opinions.
"Well I think the United States is a kicking bag for the rest of the world virtually...so I have been outspoken about things such as that and I guess people are doing polls. But it's certainly not me."
