Donald Trump: ‘I am officially running for president of the United States’

Donald Trump promised to “take the brand of the United States and make it great again,” as he announced a 2016 bid for the presidency on Tuesday morning in New York City, making good on nearly 30 years of hinting at a possible White House run.

“Our country needs a truly great leader, and we need a great leader now,” Trump said. “We also need a cheerleader.” The real estate mogul and reality star admitted that he thought President Obama could have been a good cheerleader for the nation when he was elected in 2008, but failed to lead.

“Our country is in serious trouble, we don’t have victories anymore,” Trump said to a raucous crowd while detailing what he considers America’s diminished standing compared to nations like China. “I beat China all the time,” he said.

He opened his remarks by taking shots at the current 2016 GOP field. “How are they going to beat ISIS?” he asked rhetorically. Trump spend a lot of time discussing foreign policy and America’s international reputation. “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems,” Trump said singling out Mexico in particular for criticism.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best, they’re not sending you, they’re sending people who have lots of problems,” he said. Trump also argued that the economic recovery is not as robust as had been reported. “Don’t believe that 5.6% [rate],” he said. According to Trump, the real unemployment rate “anywhere from 18-19 and maybe even 21%.”

In addition to promising to repeal Obamacare, Trump pledged to “make America great again.” Following his campaign announcement the DNC said in a tongue-in-cheek statement, “He adds some much-needed seriousness that has previously been lacking from the GOP field.”

running the USA is NOT like running a business. The last 2 "business" presidents were hoover (great depression) and MBA Dubya Bush - who ushered in the 2nd great depression/banking crash in 2008.

In business, you can drop the "dogs" and keep the cash cows. As president, however, you can't just keep texas and NY and drop all the Tennessee's and Californias, the inbred states with illegals and massive debt. In business, you can fire useless employees - you can't do that with 40 million americans that refuse to work.

It looks great on paper, but the best businessmen are the best businessmen - and they're not the best presidents.

Trump is hilarious because he's a lifetime liberal that decided in 2008 he would be the anti-obama once obama was done in office, and many repubs are too stupid to realize that.

Repubs are a leaderless party, and may just latch onto him - even tho he has a history of being anti-gun, pro-tax, pro-liberal on everything.

"Finally, a politician (Trump) who I can actually relate to! He understands US, he's not some out of touch washington idiot!"

Um, trump is worth 9 billion bucks, he was born a millionaire, he's never eaten commoner food, he wants to cancel your free healthcare. Aside from the fact you watch his show, in which he crushes dreams and slow-mo walks from limo to lear jet to skyscraper... what exactly is relate able?

How exactly was Dubya a "businessman"? Having a MBA doesn't make you a "businessman" - whether it's from Harvard or some worthless online diploma mill. Businessmen operate under things like budgets and controlled spending. A businessman would have gotten the oil if he had weighed the risks and made the decision to go to Iraq.

And Dubya didn't "usher in the 2nd great depression/banking crash in 2008".

Like Cruz, Trump won't win the nomination, but he should make things interesting if he doesn't drop out early.

I'm smart enough to know Dubya didn't cause the recession and Obama didn't raise the stock market and drop the price of oil.

You may want to watch what you say about California.

That economy is huge and has no debt.

I assume you meant to say the red state of Kansas... I forgive you.

Governor Moon Beam balanced THIS years budget.....sorta. If you love being taxed even for your farts California is heaven on earth.

oh, we will never see trump's financial papers. He can extend for 5+ months, which gives him adequate time to make his points, get his tv attention, then pull out of the race.

forbes has him at 4 billion - he claims 8.5 billion and upwards of 27 billion in properties. no serious politician TRIES to be further out of touch with common man. Romney shied away from it, as do all wise rich politicians.

Dubya was an MBA who owned oil, baseball, etc.

Hoover was the other businessman president. Everyone wants one. But in reality, businessman fire/discard those entities that are cash drains. You cannot dump states as president. You're stuck with them. Managers who know law, can lead groups to compromise and understand history make the best president- not robber barons that hire and fire, buy and sell and move on. People don't get that.

Scared? Haha. I like the guy. He's a side show but he knows how to make money, create jobs, tells it like it is and most of the time he's dead on. But like I said, he's better than ANYONE that the left has to offer. You're lib hack 240. Admit it.
