MANHATTAN — A business advisor to real estate mogul and TV personality Donald Trump will travel to Iowa on Monday in an effort to promote Trump for president, the Associated Press reported.

Michael Cohen, vice president of Trump's real estate conglomerate, is also founder of "Should Trump Run," a campaign website that asks "frustrated Americans" to convince TV's "The Apprentice" host to run for president in 2012, the AP reported.

Cohen said that Trump has no connection to the website. He will meet with top Republican lawmakers, operatives and grassroots leaders in Iowa next week, according to the AP.

Trump is expected to make a decision by June on whether to run for the nation's top office.
