BOSTON: Billionaire real estate magnate Donald Trump said on Monday that he will not run for the White House in 2012. The host of NBC-TV's "Celebrity Apprentice" said the decision came after "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," Trump said. He said that he has been unofficially campaigning for the past few months, but has decided that politics is not his top priority. "Business is my passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector," he said.
He said he will continue to express his opinions and support the candidate "who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country's most important issues".
