Donald Trump announced Monday that he will not be a 2012 presidential candidate.
The real estate mogul noted in a statement that he has been unofficially campaigning for the past several months, but has determined politics is not his first priority. "Business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector," Trump said.
Trump made clear he's not bowing out because of his perceived tough odds in the GOP primary or otherwise, saying: "I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election."
Trump on Monday promised supporters he would continue to voice his opinions "loudly" and "shape our politicians' thoughts."
