Am I the only one who thinks he is making a bunch of noise just to draw attention to himself and give his show publicity and then when the show is over he will give some lame reason not to run?

There are at least three reasons I don't think he will run, at least not seriously. First, you have to surrender all your financial information. The guy has bankrupted his company a few different times and I'm sure there are more than a few shady deals hidden in there that will be brought to life and could hurt his brand.

Second, if he were to win he would have to turn all his finances over to a third party group that would control them so that he won't be tempted to sign/push laws that could benefit him and/or squash those that could hurt him. I don't see him doing something like that.

Third, to run a legit presidential campaign you need to basically live it 24/7 from now until election day. He knows about his business and he knows some about politics. Every day he would have to study, decide policy and educate himself on world events, his stance on them, who all these people are and how they affect the country. It is a lot of work and I'm not sure he would be willing to do it because it would mean that he would have to let his family or others run his company while he did this because he wouldn't have time for both.

My belief is that once Celebrity Apprentice is over, he will announce that now is not the time for him to run.
