chickenshit extraordinaire: Trump escapes further scrutiny by pulling the presidential plug

[spanone]

Donald Trump's decision not to run for
president will permit him to avoid making a full
public disclosure of his finances and escape
further national media scrutiny of business
practices that were being litigated in
courtrooms across the country.

The announcement of his non-candidacy
surprised some of those close to Trump,
especially after he had selected a senior
campaign staff — including a campaign
manager, a pollster and an ad company — and
given a tentative green light to an internal plan
to announce his candidacy on May 25,
according to a source who was regularly
consulting with Trump about his candidacy.

But Trump abruptly pulled back over the
weekend, just days after receiving private
polling numbers from Republican pollster
John McLaughlin showing that Republican
voters were souring on the idea of his
candidacy and that his standing had now fallen
into the single digits, according to two
Republican consultants who were briefed on
the poll results.

The decision also came after an unfavorable
court decision in Florida last Friday in which a
federal magistrate ordered him to turn over a
series of business licensing arrangements for
his hotel and office building projects that he
has long fought to keep confidential,
according to court documents reviewed by
NBC News.

3. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahaha

I can't wait for his reality show to crash and burn like his bogus candidacy.

In a fair world Trump would be rotting in a prison without his fugging feathers.

this was all about getting ratings for his stupid show. I know for a fact that he lost many minority viewers because of the racist shit he did.

5. The bitch-slapping he received from Obama must have helped

"the Donald", a pure bush-league-er at best was thrust in the spotlight at the dinner and he publicly got his ass kicked by Obama.

Apparently it finally sunk in that his business dealings wold be looked at very closely. Spoiled rich inheritor tucked his tail between his legs and ran like a true republican.

6. Trump has a history of going forward with guns ablazing and then

pulling back at the last moment and blaming his subordinates for the failure.
