Donald Trump drops plans to run for White House

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Wealthy real-estate developer and TV-show host Donald Trump said Monday that he's decided not to run for president. Trump had explored the possibility of a presidential run for several months. The 64-year-old New Yorker said in a press release that "business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector." Last month, Trump generated national controversy by demanding that President Barack Obama produce his birth-certificate in response to allegations that he was not a U.S. citizen. Obama soon produced his certificate and Trump was heavily criticized for his actions. His poll ratings soon fell. In his statement, Trump insisted he would still have run a competitive race. "I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election," he said.
