Republican presidential candidate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry makes a campaign stop at the Iowa 80 Group in Walcott, Iowa, Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2011. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)New York, NY - Real estate mogul Donald Trump says he expects Texas Gov. Rick Perry will do “very nicely” as a presidential candidate. But the reality TV show host isn’t ready to endorse anyone in the race and says he still may run as an independent.
Speaking to The Associated Press on Tuesday, Trump said voters are looking for a candidate who will shake up the GOP contest and that Perry is well positioned to do so.
But Trump says he would join the race next year if he thought the eventual GOP nominee couldn’t beat President Barack Obama. He says he’ll make a decision in the spring.
Trump defends Perry’s suggestion that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would be committing a treasonous act if he pumped more money into the economy.

It's nice to know that people are judging him based on his policies, record, and views as opposed to things like his looks or, I don't know his accent, and automatically comparing him to Bush since they are from the same state. It's nice to know we can look past things like the way someone speaks and instead listen to what they are saying.

Good ole Donald Trump was more than happy to take advantage of this country's bankruptcy laws to save himself millions of dollars but he begrudges helping the middle class. And I am NOT a Bernanke fan.

Perry's Campaign Slogan:
A chicken in every pot and a new testament on every bookshelf.

I suppose the one can't control who is going to endorse (or almost endorse, as in this case) him. I am sure Perry would have preferred for Trump for keep his mouth shot, and so would I. Needless to say, however, even Trump would be a vast improvement on Obama. Or, according to PMO, and I readily concur, even a dog would be.

Trump endorsement? We know to stay away now! LOL
Hey Donnie, where's the "unbelievable evidence" your "private investigators" found on Obama? You told us that we would be "amazed at what they found in Africa and in Hawaii". So? You weren't LYING about that were you? LOL
Of course you were. You're a clown and those of us with an IQ over 80 saw that it 2 seconds.
Go back into the sewer you crawled out from. You're an embarrassment to Americans everywhere. You are the perfect example of how the richest of men can lead the saddest most empty lives.
