Donald Trump, the billionaire property mogul and host of America's version of 'The Apprentice', has told friends he is seriously thinking of running for president
His catchphrase as host of the American version of The Apprentice is "You're fired". But the words that Donald Trump really wants to hear are "You're elected", according to conservative circles in Washington.
The 64-year-old property mogul is best known for his business empire, extravagant lifestyle, expensive divorces, comb-over hair and television appearances. To that portfolio of interests "The Donald" apparently wants to add the title Mr President.
He was reportedly telling friends over the recent holidays, when Rod Stewart was among guests for a lavish New Year's Eve party at his Palm Beach estate, that he will "definitely" make a White House run as a Republican.
He confided that he would make the announcement after The Apprentice finishes its current season in spring, according to Ronald Kessler, the well-respected chief reporter of the conservative political website Newsmax.
Jockeying for next year's Republican nomination contest is intensifying after the party last week assumed control of the House of Representatives, one half of Congress, following a backlash against President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats in elections last November.
