Billionaire. Mogul. TV Host. President?

Even if we didn’t already know that Trump loves publicity stunts, we’d still have a hard time believing this would actually happen. After a New Hampshire telephone poll included Trump’s name when asking about presidential candidates–a poll Trump says he had nothing to do with–rumors started circulating that The Apprentice star might actually be considering it.

Not one to let an opportunity for exposure pass him by, Trump confirmed the rumors to Fox News, saying that “[for] the first time in my life, I’m actually thinking about it.”

Though Trump told Fox that he started considering running after he first learned of the poll–from a Time reporter. Oops. (via New York Post)
