Is Donald Trump jealous of Newt Gingrich stealing Sunday’s presidential spotlight? The reality-TV host said Sunday he has decided to run for president, but he will not make an official announcement until after the season finale of Celebrity Apprentice on May 22. In a telephone interview with Bloomberg, Trump said, “In my mind, I have already decided. I am going to announce. But I can’t do anything until the show ends.” As for policy, Trump said he will focus on creating jobs, boosting the economy, and stopping China from taking advantage of the U.S. Recent polls have shown Trump topping the field of possible Republican candidates, but some critics say he has been taking attention off important campaign issues with his focus on President Obama’s birth certificate and education.
