    Trump Hypes 'Major Announcement' But Won't Comment on Possible Endorsement

    Speaking at his Trump International Hotel Las Vegas early Thursday morning, Donald Trump hyped a "major announcement" he’s set to make at the hotel later in the day as “very exciting," but would not comment on reports that the announcement will be his endorsement of Newt Gingrich for the GOP presidential nomination.

    “We’ll see ... have some fun,” the business mogul-turned-reality TV star told CBS News/National Journal when asked if he planned to make an endorsement at the Thursday event, classified in an earlier e-mail as “[pertaining] to the Presidential race.” As for Gingrich specifically, Trump said he didn’t “want to have any comment on that right now.”

    Sources confirmed on Wednesday night that Trump would be endorsing the former House Speaker on Thursday at the 12:30 p.m. PST event. Trump spokesman Michael Cohen called the report “speculation,” and added, “That’s the thing with speculation: Sometimes you’re wrong, sometimes you’re right. Make of that what you will, but all I can say is you should be there tomorrow.”

    However, CNN reported on Thursday morning that Trump would be endorsing Romney.

    Trump himself flirted with the idea of a presidential bid last spring, but chose instead to continue with his reality show, The Apprentice. In December, he announced he would moderate a GOP debate several days after Christmas, but the debate fell through when Gingrich was the only candidate to agree to it.

    Asked Thursday morning if the timing and place are significant for the announcement, with Gingrich having just arrived in Nevada after a brutal loss in Florida, Trump nodded and said, “It’s gonna be a very significant day.”

      Trump is nothing but an egotistical bully like Newt, so naturally that's who he will endorse. He can't run his own company without filing bankruptcy and having the taxpayers bail him out. Why would we let him pick our president.

        Oh, poor you. Are you being bullied by men who don't even know you are alive? That is extreme paranoia on your part and an exaggerated sense of importance.

      Which Benedict Arnold will he be. The one at Saratoga or the one at West Point.

      Whomever he plans to endorse, would probably rather he didn't.

      Wait till he releases the Kenyan birth certificate his people found, that'll get things interesting.

      Can't stand the suspense! Is the man with the dead cat on his head going to merge his casinos with Adelson's? or is he just offering the Newt a wife swap?
