Reports have been circulating all morning about Donald Trump’s endorsement. Early reports said that the Donald would be sitting in Newt Gingrich’s corner , while reports later in the day said that Trump would back Mitt Romney. Well, “The Apprentice” star has finally made his decision.
Donald Trump will be endorsing Mitt Romney.
In a short conference at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, Donald said:
“Mitt is tough. He is smart… It is my honor, real honor, and privilege to endorse Mitt Romney. (Mitt will not) allow bad things to continue to happen to this country we all love.”
CBS reports that Trump’s endorsement comes just a few days before the caucus in Nevada. The endorsement also comes just 10-days before the start of the latest season of “The Apprentice.”
Romney added:
“It means a great deal to have the endorsement of Mr. Trump.”
Trump has been toying with the idea of running for president himself. Trump said that if the wrong GOP candidate was nominated to run against President Obama, he would enter as a third party candidate for the good of the country.
“If I don’t see a person that is going to win—that’s tantamount—I would certainly think about (running)… If I didn’t have the show, I probably would have maybe just kept going because I was doing well, as you know. I was leading in the polls… I hope I don’t have to, but I may. Absolutely. The number one thing for me is this country. Our country’s in a lot of trouble. So I may. I hope I don’t have to.”
Do you think Donald Trump’s endorsement will help Mitt Romney?
