NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Real estate mogul Donald Trump says he is more serious than he’s ever been about a possible run for presidential.

Trump was asked about his intentions during a news conference at the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue Thursday with Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili. The two were announcing a luxury development project on the Black Sea.

Trump praised Saakashvili’s stewardship of that country and said he wished there were comparable leadership in the United States.

He didn’t name names but Trump made it very clear: he thinks the Obama administration isn’t doing a good job.

“In this country we don’t have, unfortunately, that leadership and we’re being very, very badly decimated by other countries taking advantage of us,” Trump said. “We’re like a whipping post.”

The reality TV star said U.S. jobs are going to China and other countries, the dollar is “going to hell” and gas prices will soon be $5 a gallon.

“We have tremendous natural resources in this country when you talk about the oil shale, when you talk about natural gas, and we’re not using it,” Trump said. “People understand this and people know that we’re not being properly led.”
   
Trump reiterated his plan to announce in June whether he will seek the Republican nomination to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012.
   
Trump said he has great relationships with business and political leaders around the world.

Do you think Donald Trump would make a good president? Let us know below…

  • name

    His first act as president should be to improve those goggles they give you at the fake tanning salons.

    Donald Trump and all others need to be truly sincere, honest in being U.S. President of the United States; since we have have our first Black U.S. President racial attacks have been made against him and his wife, and still exist to this very moment; most of all I think a new agency should be formed “Race Relations to Stop Racial Hate, Racial Violence in America Law Enforcement”. Whomever decides to run for U.S. President needs to be true at heart mind and soul and be REAL with and for everyone.

  • Peter

  • steve

    can he do any worse then obama or bush!

  • RickE

    Are the Apprentice ratings so bad that Trump would resort to this ridiculous possibility? Uh….yes. The man is not qualified to be anything but what he is – a real estate investor who doesn’t even do THAT very well anymore.

    Can you say PUBLICITY STUNT?

    • crusty

      It’s not any worse than the “publicity stunt” by a clueless clown that the entire country and sometime the world is currently experiencing.

  • Deborah Yongue

    ? How high up on his list does our children’s education fall ? Our public school system seems too be failing.Our children are falling behind in math and science while the rest of the world are passing them up. Is America going to be allowed to become a third world country? Everyone knows that cuts will have to be made in some programs and spending. Let’s not cut the throats of our schools. America’s standing in the world is at stake. Does he have a plan to deal with this? He has my vote if he can get us out of this downward spiral.

  • nypj

    on one hand, it would be nice to have someone who would not be influenced by money from special interest groups.. while on the other hand NYC has its own billionaire mayor.. and that is not working out too good… lets see what his campaign is about..

  • Orson

    You’re hired!

  • nana

    yes he’s American, like he said if he is President America will be proud again, we need some one that will return the country back and on top like we were, bring back the work from china, pay them back , let no country hold us by our bal!!, I was upset when he was refused the rebuilding of the towers and it was given to foreigners, that hole would not be there eleven years after. run Mr.Trump, run for the PRESIDENT OF OUR AMERICA

  • nana

    where is nanas comment

  • volts

    God forbid!

  • Ken

    Yes Trump would be a great economic,national and international representative as President. Numerous country leaders would take notice of his hardline attitude. Of course the countries are China and Russia. These leaders only understand if you stand eyeball to eyeball and toe to toe against them. Otherwise they will blow you off as a weak US President. Obama has been very,very weak in international negotiations.

  • nana

    wonderful, wonderful, this has nothing to do with color, but the thought that Mr. Trump came out and said that if he’s president America will become proud again, says a mouth full, he can bring us back, I wanted him to be chosen to rebuild the towers and all he got was a refusal instead foreigners were chosen,that empty hole wouldn’t be there if Trump was chosen, run Mr. Trump,run for the President of OUR UNITED STATES OF OUR AMERICA.

    • donna

      You are so right!! He would DEMAND the Respect that has been sooooo lost with these wacko’s in Washington since 2008!! Do it Donald – the REAGAN of the 21st. Century that we have been looking for!!

  • Ms Common Sense

    A man who can’t stay with a wife after she reaches her 23rd birthday? A man who thinks nothing of declaring bankruptcy at the drop of a hat? Is this the hat we want in the ring? Absolutely not! Let him stick to something he knows how to do – make money. If he wishes to serve his country, let him pay all his taxes.

    • nana

      you are talking about the one on the hill, cause Mr. Trump you aren’t, Ms. common sense you have none.

  • MARVIN HARSHBARGER

    • david boss

      I would love to see someone who is not in bed with wall street and the bankers. Someone who will not sell his soul to wall street so they can be reelected and somehow become rich while in office Main street business and main street workers are struggling while big business , congress, banks and wall street are getting richer and richer

  • Art W
