Donald Trump Set To Announce 2016 Plans

WASHINGTON (AP) — With a presidential field approaching 20 high-profile Republicans, the GOP's 2016 class offers voters a little bit of everything.

The Donald, as he is known as a celebrity, will announce his 2016 intentions on Tuesday at a Manhattan skyscraper that bears his name.

He is a businessman, a reality television star and a master of self-promotion. And should he decide to run, Trump is positioned to have a greater impact on the early months of the Republican presidential primary contest than many GOP leaders would like.

Should he get in, Trump would be required to release a personal financial disclosure that would reveal intimate details about his personal finances. The disclosure would include his net worth, sources of income, liabilities and assets. He would have to reveal the same information for his wife and dependent children.

Trump is ready to do so. On Tuesday, he will share details about his personal finances that reveal a net worth of $9 billion, according to a person close to his potential campaign who spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to pre-empt the announcement.

The financial disclosure, required of all candidates for president, was thought to be the final obstacle blocking Trump from launching a 2016 campaign.

Based on guidelines recently announced by the television networks, Trump could play a prominent role in the upcoming nationally televised Republican debate in August.

Those who rank in the top 10 in national polls — and Trump currently does, although he's close to the bottom — will earn a place on the debate stage. That could place Trump in a debate alongside leading candidates such as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Bush.

"Selfishly, the networks would put me on because I get great ratings," Trump said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

Trump has teased presidential runs before, and always backed out. But there are signs that he's more serious this time around.

After forming a presidential exploratory committee in March, Trump says he has hired political operatives on the ground in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. He has also been a frequent visitor to the early voting states in recent months.

Perhaps most significantly, he said he would not renew his contract with NBC for his reality show, "The Apprentice." He cannot appear on the network and run for president at the same time.

For some reason I get the feeling that after having an African American president everyone feels they have a chance no matter how ignorant they may be.

Hahaha, this amused me, I thought you liked the guy. Tim why do you think he is running? I am not hearing any of the candidate's telling the people why they are running.

[Rockhopper]

It's come to light that the 100 cheering fans were paid $50.00 to appear as well!

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Tim.

[Lenzabi]

Even the Behind the background GOP-meister Karl Rove called Donald a Moron.

[Rogue]

Hang on, he's promised to stop ISIS!!

[Stargate]

Hang on, he's promised to stop ISIS!!

It would be interesting to know, from what.

[Rogue]

Maybe just another Hair brain idea...

[Rockhopper]

Did anyone ever tell you that a pun is the second lowest form of wit?

Can't help it with Trumpy but! Jon Stewart has been ripping into him. Can't wait to see what Rachel has to say too.
