To borrow an over-used pun I saw recently, it looks as if Donald Trump is not quite ready to be vetted and have every single thing in his life combed over; unfortunately for those of us who like freak-show circuses, Donald Trump has decided not to run for president of the United States.

Don’t let Donald Trump’s decision not to run fool you into thinking that his ego has shrunk or that he is not the man he once was; there is nothing in his statement to indicate that he believes he would have handily won the election or that he is not the best man on the face of the planet. His assertions also don’t seem  to be reflected by his actual poll numbers, which showed him at the bottom of the pack even among the Republican contenders. Donald Trump said his true love was business, which is why he isn’t going to run, but we all know that Donald Trump’s true love is just himself.

The announcement from Donald Trump wasn’t as showy as some of his earlier statements—he didn’t mention a single thing about where President Obama was actually born, nor did he bring up any “deather” conspiracy theories about the body of Osama bin Laden. Rather, he mentioned the United State’s competitiveness on the global market and how the US needs to get tougher on China.

Since he will not be running, Donald Trump never was forced to say just exactly how the important skills he had received from “Celebrity Apprentice” had made him more viable as a candidate. It’s hard to imagine what his answer might have been.

Of course, that doesn’t stop me from dreaming that Donald Trump would have said more about his important experience on television. I would have loved for Katie Couric or some other hard-nosed journalist out there to ask him which international leaders he would “fire” first and why.

If he maintains his strong interest in politics, Donald Trump could still produce a new version of “Apprentice”—maybe something along the lines of “Politoco Apprentice” starring all three of the Bush politicos (George Bush, George W. Bush, and Jeb Bush) squaring off against one another with Bill Clinton thrown into the mix for good measure. (Thankfully, I don’t think Jimmy Carter would go on a reality TV show, but I can’t say the same for the rest of them.)
