I had to rush this in. You just can't make this stuff up.
In an article just posted on CNN.com, Trump is reported to have said:
"I have a great relationship with the blacks," Trump told Albany's Talk Radio 1300 Thursday. "I've always had a great relationship with the blacks."
But Trump says it's a "very sad thing" such a high percentage of that demographic supports President Obama, for reasons, he believes, that are largely influenced by race. The discussion was spawned by a recent poll of New York voters that found 95 percent of black voters there approve of the president's job performance. The same poll found that the president's overall approval rating in New York stands at 54 percent.
He goes further:
"Look at Hillary Clinton," the reality television star continued in reference to the 2008 Democratic presidential primary race. "Hillary Clinton did so much for the black population, so much and got very few votes."
I guess the late, great Stephanie Tubbs Jones didn't get that memo.
This just keeps getting better.

More information on his decision for 2012:
Per a written statement, "On the May 22nd Season Finale of Celebrity Apprentice, Mr. Trump may announce the time and place of a press conference at which time he will make a statement as to whether or not he will run for President of the United States."

I forgot to add this to the first update. Since his tussle with Bill Cosby, the ratings for the show have dropped off. If the ratings stay where they are, he is probably in good shape. If they keep dropping, however...
