Donald Trump to Mitt Romney: You're Hired!

Trump endorses Romney

After Newt’s team confirmed to the press last night that Donald Trump was endorsing the former Speaker, news comes today that they were mistaken – the Donald is endorsing Mitt.

Say what you will about the man, he happens to influence of a good chunk of people – a chunk that we may need to have on board to beat Obama. His endorsement as well as anyone else’s should be welcome – after all, we’re building bridges with all coalitions that will support our man, not fences.

From CBS News:

Donald Trump said Thursday he’s endorsing Mitt Romney because of his position on catching up to China’s economic growth and because he believes Romney can out-debate President Obama.

“You look at what’s going on with China, you look at what’s going on with the other OPEC nations and how they are absolutely destroying this country, and he’s the only one who talks about it,” Trump told a group of reporters at an impromptu news conference in Las Vegas. “So that was very important to me. I thought he did very well in the debates, that was very important… I think if he debates that well, I don’t think Obama will fare well against him.

Romney’s campaign is expected to formally unveil the endorsement at an event at 3:30 Eastern Time.

Update: In case you’re hungry for more, here’s Trump with Cavuto immediately after the presser.

    I think The Donald’s endorsement helps The Donald more than Mitt but it’s still welcome! :)

    So were SC and FL just team competitions on “Presidential Apprentice”?

    Way to go, Mr. Trump. I admire your courage in going against the Mass Media who seem bound and determined to have anyone else but Mitt Romney be the nominee. At this time, the MSM seem to be flailing in their attempts due to Gingrich’s obvious baggage of ethics violations, unpopularity, and adulterous background items, not to mention current fiascos ie. Pelosi on the couch, right-wing social engineering, etc. Their next attempt will be to somehow get Rick Santorum to sway Primary voters.
    Of course, it will not work. The American people, by and large, are too intelligent to fall for their propaganda any longer.
    The next huge battle will be to overcome the Democratic machine with its subtle and not-so-subtle lies and negative diatribe. Half-truths through incomplete sound bites out of context, and false claims of economic recovery, notwithstanding, Mitt will win in November. Even the MSM will not be able to deliver our Nation into total Socialism.
    Thanks to Donald Trump for recognizing where we, as a Nation, need to go.

    that’s a good one…lol!!!@Frozone

  5. Donald Trump’s endorsement is HUGE. The only other ego on Earth that is bigger is that of Newt Gingrich, but of the two, Trump is far smarter. Eventually, the other huge ego will also endorse Governor Romney, even though it never occurs to call him when he loses a primary.

    I heard that Newt Gingrich publicly mentioned on Thursday that Donald Trump would endorse him — I heard that he stated that twice publicly. Is that true? If so, where?

    I wish I could have heard a few of Gingrich’s private conversations right after the Trump endorsement.

    Come on Newt! You have Sarah Palin’s, Michael Reagan’s, and Herman Cain’s endorsements, plus 8 others. What more do you need? I think you should have Sarah Palin (your best surrogate) get out there and tell the world that this is just another example of how only Wall Street people back Gov. Romney. That will help to distract voters from looking at your complete Washington entrenchment.

    Donald Trump and Mitt Romney have the same in common. They will fired people when they cannot do the job. They will hire people that are not lazy. They both hardworking people. They both have money. Money will solve the problems when the person knows how run the business and know how to create jobs. Romney did not meant to put down the poor people. Politics are dirty. Some of the media are really working hard to smudge Romney in order the people would now vote for him. This is the year to tell the truth Who really lead us the people and the country. It is time to get all the document records where our hardworking tax money went and who received the Country aids and funds for the business and especially how much. The stimulus packaged was vetoed in September 2009. And it was $5 trillions of dollars. Part of that money could create jobs for the people and help the struggling businesses. But yet, the the tax money for the people went to the wrong place and washed out through the drain. Mitt Romney is capable and able to make a firm and solid budget plan for the people and He is the one that can guide all of us the people=the government and our beautiful country into the Right Directions…. We must vote for Mitt Romney. Forget the Religion. He is a regious man, a good father, a good husband, a good provider, kind and can understand what the people needs especially to those who are poor struggling. Do not believed what the Media says or do. Believe on Romney………..
