Trump For President 2012?

When it comes to politics, Hollywood and the White House do often mix. We had Fredy Grandy of "The Love Boat" as a successful Congressman. We've elected "The Terminator", Arnold Schwarzenegger as California's Governor and the only member in Congress to score a #1 pop song is none other than, Sonny Bono. Least we not forget Ronald Reagan as President of the United States, but there is one "celebrity" eyeing the chair in the Oval Office. Donald Trump is thinking about a run for the head office in 2012.

The billionaire mogul is "absolutely thinking" about a career change from Real Estate to being the head cheese of our country. Eyeing 2012, his thoughts runs to flipping the country from Barack Obama's hands because he feels worried about the state of the country's manufacturing industry.

"I've had so many people over the years ask me to do that. And for the first time in my life, I am absolutely thinking about it (running for president)." he tells Fox News. "I don't know that I'll do it. It's probable that I won't do it, but I can tell you, I'm thinking about it. Somebody has to do something. We are losing this country." he adds.
