The NBC upfront presentation is today, and Donald Trump made an appearance to announce that he will be back for another season of “Celebrity Appearance” and will not seek the Republican nomination for president.
“This will be the 12th season,” Donald Trump told advertisers at NBC’s presentation Monday. “I love Celebrity Apprentice. We’ve raised tens of millions. I’ve decided we are going to continue on with the Celebrity Apprentice. I will not be running for president.” [EW]
According to the buzz on my Twitter feed (and this transcript), Trump assured the audience that had he run, he would have won both the Republican nomination and the 2012 election, which isn’t so much a lie as it is the obvious continuation of the alternate reality that exists when Trump is in the presence of cameras and microphones. Trump later added, “How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?”
