Trump to Make ‘Major Announcement’ in Nevada; May Endorse Gingrich; Update: Romney
**Written by Doug Powers
Before we chew on any of the possibilities, it’s important to remember that the next season of Celebrity Apprentice kicks off in just over two weeks, and The Donald isn’t one to let a prime promotional opportunity slip by.
With that little disclaimer out of the way, there’s this from KLAS-TV:
An advisor to Donald Trump says he will make a major announcement in Las Vegas tomorrow. Sources tell the 8 News NOW I-Team Trump will endorse Newt Gingrich.
According to Trump advisor Michael Cohen, “Donald J. Trump will be making a major announcement tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. at Trump International Hotel & Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada… The announcement will pertain to the Presidential race.”
Gingrich says he’s in the dark as to what Trump’s up to:
“I have no idea what The Donald is going to do,” Mr. Gingrich said. “He is always interesting, and I don’t know of anybody who does a better job of getting attention by announcing that he will presently announce something.”
How valuable would a Trump endorsement be for Gingrich? Trump’s not exactly a staunch conservative, and that’s the kind of support Gingrich needs right now — especially since Romney’s been saying things that move him to the center so much that Mitt’s in danger of being mistaken for a fulcrum.
Other possibilities: Trump will announce a third party run while pitching the new season of Celebrity Apprentice — or Trump might announce an endorsement of Romney while pitching the new season of Celebrity Apprentice. Trump might also pitch the next season of Celebrity Apprentice while announcing an endorsement for Rick Santorum or Ron Paul. Another possibility is that Trump will announce plans for a new show called “The GOP Candidate Apprentice” which will award a substantial donation to the campaign of the candidate who can most effectively promote Celebrity Apprentice.
Update: The AP is now reporting that Trump will endorse Romney… and promote Celebrity Apprentice, of course.
Update II: Yep, Romney it is. The continual media flip-flop provided a fitting lead-in.

Rogue–well with a Tiger, you at least will keep things interesting. It’s a good thing you’re a Horse. John, what’s your wife?
male multiple orgasm? Now that’s a myth.
I heard Clinton was supposed to give some sailors a ride to the party, but he left behind a Seaman Stayn.
Are you sure it wasn’t Colonel Sanders?
It is Clinton, after all.
Oh, the places I could take this.
A Monkey.
Not so!
I have 2 kids to prove it!
Not if they’re separated by a snack and a nap.
Dexter Alarius #103:
You kids are terrible!! LOL
A metal monkey?
Yep, going on 30 years of interesting.
Tigers do not domesticate.
spaceycakes:
Sorry to disagree with you, ma’am.It’s no myth. The problem is, the older you get, the more difficult to achieve it becomes. That’s when experience comes handy.
When speed is replaced by guile…
Yes, with little cymbals. She’s so naughty.
That’s what my wife is… minus the naughty.
My fault for being a paper (wood) tiger, I guess.
I don’t know why but this popped into my head.
I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was
locking the front door. I said, “Hey, the sign says you’re open 24 hours.” He
said, “Yes, but not in a row.” — Steven Wright
So you went to the diner that had a sign that said “breakfast served any time” and ordered French toast during the Renaissance?
What fun. This thread is digressing..I love it when that happens….
The next thing you know, the thread has over 10,000 posts and then it just disappears.
RIP, Monster Thread.
because they’re exhausted?
I eat swiss cheese. But I only nibble on it. I make the holes bigger.
– Steven Wright
It went away when they had system problems a couple of years ago. It was one of the Louis Gates threads.
For the longest time I had a link to that 10,000 thread but it never did work again. Too bad, unique piece of MM history.
Because anything’s a lot more interesting than sitting around waiting for Trump to endorse Romney.
but you really said ‘during the Age of Enlightenment’ like some waitress was going to ‘get’ an obscure French philosophical reference…
hold on, Voltaire.
and exactly how I meant it…remember, I am a Rat.
yes, that would be like watching grass grow.
btw; mrcakes is a Rabbit.
I waited on Stephen Wright when I worked in Virginia.
I think we lost zeroangel on the monster thread. Speaking of ‘losing’ fellow posters, I haven’t seen Major O since the bashing I took from Ole’Sashay on the David Gregory thread…I certainly hope he hasn’t stopped visiting.
I thought about Major O just today. On the other hand, I never think about zeroangel.
I just looked that up since I had missed it the first time. Wow. Ota really is an obnoxious putz.
I wish you hadn’t mentioned that name…brings back bad memories of the worst threadjacker in the history of MM’s blog!!
I am ashamed to say, however, that I posted quit a few of those 10,000 posts and even won a “prize” for being #300 or something!
Or maybe it was #3000!
Did you ever get your turn? How long did you have to wait? That guy moves slow.
You mean this monster thread?
I wanted him to tell Romney ‘you’re fired’
10,100 posts!! Wow! That was amazing. Too bad most of the posts were from Zeroangel, who wouldn’t accept any opinion but his. Other than that, it was a fun challenge.
Yup, that would be the one. Several of those people got the ban hammer and never found out why.
I vaguely remember posting on that thread.
So now Romney’s responsible for media flip-flops, too? I think they’re capable of flopping on their own. But not all flip-flops are bad. If the presidency flip-flops from Democrat to Republican, will you have the courage to blame Romney for that too, Doug?
No. He was merely pointing out the similarities. Progressives of a feather, and all.
Should Romney be the nominee I suspect the Democrat to Republican President flip-flop will be about as believable as all Romney’s others.
Thanks T-bone, the thread is working! How kewl is that?! Now I gotta see my post numbers on that one.
Chunks of that thread were arguments between us. I’m not very good at articulating my beliefs. He was very good at articulating his non-belief. I can’t say I miss him.
“While I was out the other night, someone broke into my house and stole every I had… and replaced it with an exact replica.”
I find this one at #7779.
ah, good times.
Back in the good old days when we couldn’t wait for 2012 and the coming of the next Reagan.
How naive we were.
I worked at a big hotel restaurant; Stephen Wright was staying there so he came in to have breakfast the morning after a show.
historical videos of TRUMP totally trashing Mitt in 2011…..then he does his little personal publicity stunt “ENDORSEMENT”!!
NO WONDER MITT LOOKED SO BORED AND EMBARASSED ON STAGE WITH THE TRUMPET.
SO HE NOW HAS MCCAIN AND TRUMP TELLING US HOW GREAT MITT really IS!!
SORRY CHARLIE…BACK TO NEWT AND THE REALITY SHOW THAT IS AMERICA THE SERIOUS.

FORGOT TO POST THE TRUMP VIDEOS TRASHING MITT!!! SORRY
I got food poisoning today. I don’t know when I’ll use it. — Steven Wright
I came back to my apartment & stuck my car keys in the door by mistake. It started up so I drove it around the block. The cops pulled me over & asked me ‘where do you live?’ and I said right here.

I bought a house, on a one-way dead-end road. I don’t know how I got there.

just now getting to this one, Doug:
‘hair apparent’–snerk!
Who says you’re slow?!
I dunno–who?
LOL
I don’t know how everyone got started on this, but…
I just went out and bought a full-scale map of the world. 1 inch = 1 inch.
It’s a b**ch to fold up.

I put instant coffee in the microwave & almost went back in time.
