A source close to businessman Donald Trump has divulged to the Shark Tank that Trump is “seriously considering” running for President as an Independent because he believes the current Republican field of Presidential candidates is “weak”. The source also disclosed that Trump was overwhelmed with e-mails, letters, and phone calls from disappointed supporters who wanted him to enter the 2012 presidential field after he recently bowed out of consideration from the Republican primary field- allegedly over 300 disappointed supporters called his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach to urging him to run. If the eventual Republican nominee does not catch fire, Trump could very well jump in as an Independent and could spend $200 million in the race, according to what he told a close confidant. Recall back in 1992 how billionaire Ross Perot ran as an Independent candidate and took votes away from then President George H. W. Bush and gave us President Bill Clinton.If Trump feels the GOP field is weak (and he'd be correct), why run as an Independent which would guarantee a loss? Run for the GOP nomination and beat all those weak Republicans.
I think Trump knows he'd have a tough time fighting the GOP insiders, but an independent run is a guaranteed loser for both him and the GOP. It will only guarantee an Obama win...and maybe that's the plan all along.

Bet all those emails, letters, and phone calls are from Democrats hoping to get him to run.
What an ego.
