    Trump Hypes Thursday's 'Major Announcement'

    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 he plans to endorse Newt Gingrich.

    “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.”

    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.”

      I'm about as politically conservative as you can get and I think Trump is a clown . .

      . . it's not that he has a LOT of money and in most cases it's not what he is TRYING to say (thankful that we SILL have the right to do both) . .

      . . it's just HIM . . he's a buffoon . . .

      This guy just built a huge tower in Canada. How many Americans could have used those jobs? Trump is hypocrite!

      Donald Trump loves attention and raves publicity stunts. I'm sure his announcement won't be anything of big significance.

      Is he planning a sex change? That would be VERY exciting indeed! Other than that, he can just keep his mouth shut and flush himself.

      Trump and Gingrich are both sad clowns who are terrible for America. At least Newt is a self made land whale, err, man, whereas Trump stands completely on the shoulders of his rich parents. If it weren't for them he'd be lucky to drive a garbage truck.

      Trump is a coward...he never intended to run for POTUS...would never pass the smell test.

        Does he still have that show on TV? Maybe the ratings have tanked and it's losing advertising $$$.

      Does anyone really care what this man thinks or says? He blew it with the forged colb, buckled right under. No credibility. He has become irrelevant.

      Remember when there were weird people that actually thought this guy was a viable presidential candidate? Who were those freaks?

      Why is it, all the crackpots endorse Newt?
      Sarah (miss alaska) Palin, Herman (the player) Cain, now Donald (comb over) Trump.

      In order to save this great country and provide a good and fiscal future for our children and grandchildren; we have to vote for real change and not for the same ol’ same ol’.
      How does this sound?: Not sending your kids and grandkids off to wars that are not necessary, audit of the Federal Reserve, gold backed money and ensure rising individual purchasing power (our money will actually be worth something), financial gains on your banked money, productive reform of Health Care. Let’s recreate the American dream again.
      Ron Paul 2012!

      Romney needs to fake a heart attack if endorsed by Trump.

      The only thing bigger than Trumps ego is his mouth, regardless of who he endorses I think he's only doing it to try to prove he still matters. He has some good ideas, but they are always overshadowed by his ego, me,me, me. Donald just go away
