I thought he had already run once before, maybe 10 years ago. My husband says, no way.
Do you know? When?

no. That would be funny. The way this damn country is, he would win. Celebrities rule this world. 'you're fired!'

Trump wound up not running and ultimately endorsed Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
If Trump continues to mull a 2016 bid, it would be his fourth time testing the presidential waters. In addition to his 2012 flirtation, he fleetingly pondered a run in 1988, and, in 1999, he began a very public play for a possible third-party candidacy.
Fresh off his divorce from Marla Maples, flaunting his new girlfriend (and now-wife) Melania Knauss, and promoting a new book that laid out his political views, Trump sensed a possible political opening. The Reform Party, the party created by Ross Perot after his 1992 presidential run and the vehicle for his 1996 run, was set to receive federal funding in 2000 after Perot received eight percent of the vote in 1996. Trump started talking up a possible Reform Party bid, pitting him against famous conservative Pat Buchanan.
In Feburary of 2000, he decided not to run after all, citing infighting within the Reform Party.

I remember that, too. I remember thinking he was a perennial candidate. He joins the race every time but only long enough to get a few contributions or a little media time and then he folds. We all knew he wasn t serious about it and started a pool for how long he would stay in the news and then in the race.

I thought he talked about running and never followed through with it in 2012.

He hasn't, but I seem to remember a newsie once asking him whether he would ever consider it. He said something like, that he's a businessman and not a politician.

The Blaze says he ran in 1999 but I can't find anything on it in the computer and my memory says no if anyone knows for certain please post it. Personally I like his prideful personality it is unique considering the one we have now..
