Donald Trump's never-ending fictional campaign for office - The Week
A brief history of Trump pretending to run for office:
1998: A fellow wealthy real estate mogul tries to draft Trump to run for president. Trump calls a White House bid "something I see in the future," and travels to New Hampshire with a campaign pitch. He does not run.
2000: Trump says he is "seriously" considering running for president as a Reform Party candidate. He does not run.
2004: Trump says he is "very seriously" considering a White House bid. He does not run.
2005: The New York Daily News reports Trump is weighing a gubernatorial run in the state in 2006. He does not run.
2006: Trump announces he won't run for governor but indicates he may run for president in 2008 instead. He does not run.
2011: Trump goes full birther and says he will probably run for president. He also commends himself for racially trolling the Obama administration into releasing the president's birth certificate
...but, again, he doesn't run.
Trump is the boy who cried wolf of political campaigns, and this time is going to be no different.
