Chairman, Trump University
You've all probably read the publicity recently about Senator Joe Bruno asking me to run for governor of the great state of New York. I've known Joe Bruno for a long time. He's a great senator and he has done a terrific job. He's also a very strong party leader so I was honored when he asked me to run in the gubernatorial race.
The problem is that I really enjoy doing what I'm doing right now. I've gotThe Apprentice, one of the hottest shows on television. I'm the biggest developer in New York City, and I'm building things all over the country in wonderful cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, and other places.
I've always told people that to be successful you have to enjoy what you're doing and right now I really enjoy what I'm doing. I'm having too much fun with my life. Why would I want to do something else? Why would I want to run for governor?
I told Joe Bruno, "No." I told the newspapers, "No." They don't stop asking, which is very flattering, but believe me, I won't be running for governor. I have absolutely no interest in running for office at this time. I've got too many other fun things to do.

This is exactly how I feel about what I am doing! - and at the same time the whole idea may present itself to you from a different perspective at a later point in time in which case you just may add it to your list of projects that you like to do.
All the best to you in all that you do!
thank you!

Glad to see you sticking to your passion Mr. Trump.
In June of 2002, Bob Schulz publicly declared he has forever stopped paying income taxes or filing income tax returns, based solely on the content of the Truth-in-Taxation hearing and the government's refusal to answer the well documented legal charges that there is
NO legal or constitutional basis for the federal income tax.
What is your opinion of the IRS and the federal income tax in light of the research that Bob Schulz has done?

I've read the Esquire interview article where he thinks the Iraqi war was a bad idea (a la Cindy Sheehan). And he says that,
Na wa o! Sha! Notin dey happen!
Great men often know that there's no limit to what they can arhieve if the desire and true passion is there. You have a flea for what you believe and have tasted. Go ahead Bro. Be the man.
In my closet, I wonder base on the fact that the knowledge of who I am makes me to be afraid of my potentials. I think as you being a great man, it thus apply to you too. Keep your faith alive man. Blessed is the man who keeps his faith.
Finally, I've always love this Poem: I LOVE THE WORD IMPOSSIBLE!
Peope may have opinions base on how successful you are. But believe me...You have the final say except otherwise.
I Love The Word Impossible
It's like joy after sorrow.
People being friends after being enemies
Rainbows after drenching rain.
A wound healed
Sunsets on quiet evenings after
Hot noisy days.
Paralyzed, injured limbs learning to grow
Strong and useful again.
Forgiveness after wrong
Truth after fog.
New love-made babies.
Birds learning to fly and own the sky
Bitterness turned to mellowness
Fresh, genuine hope .. once abandoned
People finding each other at right moments
In unexpected, obscure places ..
For Go-ordained reasons.
I love the word impossible because my God believes
In adventure
And extraordinary mountains
And he dares to be alive in a world
Crawling with terrible situations
He promises to be bigger than any impossibility
Because He is love ..
And love always finds a way through, in time.
God's Blessings to you Trump. Keep the faith and hope alive.
Could a Govenor become a President who just wants to have fun and if so can you imagine how much fun that would mean for the rest?
Sounds like more fun to me.

I'm a resident of Colorado, but I must say that IF you chose to run for NY Governor or any other political position, I think you would certainly be a tremendous asset in the world of politics. Frankly, it is my opinion New York would be gaining, and possibly, just possibly, you might use that as a step toward eventual candidacy for US President...from which we could all benefit. Even as New York governor, I think you'd probably set an example for other states...and there'd always be that chance you'd eventually look toward the White House.
America needs a leader for its President, and you, most certainly are a leader. I respect your high intellect, creativity, and integrity. Likewise, I understand your reluctance to enter the world of politics (especially when you have so many challenging and interesting projects going now). But should you ever choose to enter the political arena, I would support your aiming for the Presidency...as I believe you would be one of the best presidents our nation would ever have had. I believe your leadership could make this country great again...and rescue it from the path it is now on. I believe economically, socially, and in the international community we could again excel if only we had a true leader...and Mr. Trump, there are very few with the qualities needed...you are such a man.
I respect your decisions as an individual who chooses what path is best for yourself...but had to express my appreciation for who you are and what I feel you could do for America if you ever enter politics...whatever level you might involve yourself, I think you would make a significant positive change for good.
Best wishes,
Christine Smith
Do we have the power to really change the world like Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie or John D. Rockefeller and our very own Bill Gate's.
Can we create an enormous number of products, services and living quarters such that they all qualify as higher quality than has ever so far been seen, are available for a lower price than any of these have previously been available and at the same time while paying the working artisans of the entire world more than they have ever been paid for doing such work while also creating a system where
It is no surprise at all that Mr. Trump has turned down this opportunity despite how exciting it may appear--it is not inline with his passions and pursuing your passions is the more important thing you can do.

Anyway, of course Mr Donald "The Don" Trump would do great as a Governor of NY State. I respect your decision. It's all about focus. Trump likes to focus on his projects because, one, they are fun and secondly with focus comes success. Being in politics isn't the big goal for Trump. Trump likes showmanship. Just look at his TV show and his grand buildings.
