Donald Trump for President?
According to the 1490NewsBlog, an Iraqi war veteran has formed a committee dedicated to recruiting developer Donald Trump to run for the Republican nomination for Presidential candidacy.
From the 1490NewsBlog,
ST. CHARLES, MO. — Decorated Iraq War veteran Nick McLaughlin of St. Charles, Missouri, has announced the formation of a grass-roots, all volunteer organization to draft New York developer Donald J. Trump for the 2012 Republican Presidential Nomination.
McLaughlin saw combat in three tours in Iraq in the US Marine Corp and was hit by shrapnel from a car bomb in Ubush, Iraq. He was awarded a Purple Heart and nine other medals including a Presidential citation.
“Under Barak Obama, America has become a laughingstock around the world,” said McLaughlin, in a news release sent to WESB and The HERO. “America needs a strong leader like Donald Trump to restore America’s economic strength and respect around the world.”
McLaughlin, who has never been active in politics before, said he had filed the committee with the Federal Election Commission and that the organization was not directed, authorized or funded by Trump. “I have never met Mr. Trump,” said McLaughlin, “But I am certain he is the man America needs.”
