The Donald held a press conference earlier today to declare his endorsement of Mitt Romney for the 2012 presidential election. The event took place inside Trump Towers in Las Vegas. After making the announcement, the New York native stated, “Mitt is tough. He’s smart, he’s sharp. He’s not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country that we all love. So Gov. Romney, go out and get ‘em. You can do it.” Trump’s announcement comes two days before the Nevada caucuses where Romney is the favorite, according to the polls. Several news sources, including the Associated Press, originally reported that Trump would endorse Newt Gingrich.
While Romney left the stage just moments after the announcement was made, Trump lingered and welcomed questions from the press. When questioned about the endorsement for Gingrich, Trump stated that the two were friends and that he knew Gingrich wanted his endorsement. When the press asked Trump’s thoughts about Ron Paul, he answered in true Donald fashion, saying, “He’s just got no chance of being elected. Personally, I think he’s wasting a lot of time.”
