Donald Trump Teasing Presidential Run, Media Bites Again

Follow me on:

Donald Trump says he isn't running for president as an independent. But, then again, he said he still might.

Despite dropping a bid for the Republican nomination in May amid equal-time rules which would have prevented The Donald from continuing with his television show, The Apprentice, Trump can't seem to stay out of the spotlight.

But, his reasons likely have little to do with serving our country.

While the business mogul has been tapped to moderate the Newsmax Republican presidential debate in Iowa Dec. 27, Trump's new book, Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again, hit bookshelves this morning.

In an email from the "Should Trump Run?" advocacy site, Trump thanked supporters for "continued interest in my potential Presidential Run (sic)," before hawking his new book on Amazon:

"The book is a straight forward and common sense approach to governing...something our current President is lacking. I hope you will enjoy it!"

Whether Trump will enjoy a sales bounce onto the bestsellers lists remains to be seen, but the opportunity is there.

Trump's Celebrity Apprentice garnered a larger-than-expected ratings share as he teased his Republican bid earlier this year.
