Celebrity business magnate Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president Thursday, telling reporters he will not mount an independent campaign if Romney is the Republican nominee.
“It’s my honor, real honor, to endorse Mitt Romney,” Trump said, with Romney and his wife standing nearby. Calling Romney “tough” and “smart,” Trump said, “he’s not going to continue to allow bad things to happen to this country.”
“Bad things” will be outlawed under a Romney presidency – no doubt by an executive order signed on his first day in office right after he signs that executive order killing ObamaCares. Long live the king.
Now that he has the Trump endorsement, how long before Romney goes birther?

There is no bigger fraud running on the Republican slate than Mitt Romney.
“I know what its’ like to worry about whether or not you are going to get fired,” Romney said. “There are times when I wondered whether I was going to get a pink slip.”
Statements don’t get more disingenuous than that. Here’s a Romney spokesman adding insult to injury.
“Unlike President Obama, Mitt Romney has spent 25 years in the real world economy. As a young person just out of college, he worked his way up the career ladder knowing that his continued employment was by no means guaranteed. That’s the way it is in the private sector.”
Willard is laughing at you.
By his own admission, Romney has never had a financial worry of the type millions of middle class families face each day. Money for groceries or rent or schooling has never been a concern for Romney who was born into wealth and is today worth over $200 million. Not exactly what one thinks of when pondering the plight of working-class Americans.
If Romney ever worried about a pink slip, you can be damn sure it had nothing to do with his concern about how he’d pay his bills. To attempt to convey the image of a regular Joe highlights the condescending fraudulent ways of Mitt Romney.
UPDATE:
Romney’s rivals are going to ride this one as far as they can. Rick Perry in South Carolina:
“I had to shake my head yesterday when one of the wealthiest men I suppose has ever run for the presidency of the United States, the son of a multimillionaire, Mitt Romney, he said ‘I know what it’s like to worry about whether you’re going to get fired. There were a couple times when I worried about whether I was going to get a pink slip.’ He actually said this,” the Texas governor said at a campaign stop in Anderson.
“I have no doubt that Mitt Romney was worried about pink slips, whether he was going to have enough of them to hand out because his company Bain Capital with all the jobs that they killed, I’m sure he was worried that he’d run out of pink slips,” he continued.
“There is nothing wrong with being successful and making money,” Perry continued. “There is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failure and sticking it to someone else is how you do your business and I happen to think that is indefensible. If you’re a victim of Bain Capital’s downsizing, it’s the ultimate insult for Mitt Romney to come to South Carolina and tell you he feels your pain because he caused it.”
We’ve had an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs and are historically part of the Arab community and they had a chance to go many places. And for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel since the 1940s. It’s tragic.
What is tragic is that this 1980s dinosaur has even the remotest of chances of becoming President. Insulting Palestinians by declaring them to be an “invented” people is another sign of how disastrous a Gingrich foreign policy would be. He’s also declared he’d move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem ’cause you can never stoke those flames of division enough.
And worst of all, Gingrich has said he’s considering neocon nutcase John Bolton as his choice for Secretary of State which just about guarantee another war within two years of a Gingrich presidency.
A few months ago, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut who is allied with the Democratic majority in the Senate, had a surprising guest at his office: Linda E. McMahon, the former wrestling mogul who is seeking the Republican nomination for Mr. Lieberman’s Senate seat, now that he is retiring.
…
As candidates in both major parties begin jockeying for his seat, Mr. Lieberman has been doing and saying things that have confounded the political establishment — much as he has done in recent years.
In addition to Ms. McMahon, he has spoken with Christopher Shays, a former Republican congressman, about Mr. Shays’s own plans to run for his Senate seat.
“I encouraged him,” said Mr. Lieberman, who met with Mr. Shays in his Washington office.
The sooner the whining turncoat is out of Congress, the better off it will be for everyone involved. Dems looking to take over his Connecticut Senate seat are shying away from Lieberman and have no interest in getting his support. Rank and file Democrats will not soon forget that Lieberman supported John McCain in 2008. And it was only last December that Lieberman said this:
“But of course, really, Fox Business is my favorite and Fox generally, anything Rupert Murdoch owns.”
The weasel was setting up his post-Senate paycheck days.
As if you needed another reason to not vote Romney.
