Trump Prepared For Third Party Run

Real estate mogul Donald Trump told Fox News Monday that he is prepared to run for President under a third party banner if the wrong Republican candidate gets the party’s nod.

“I do have my ducks in line if I want to do it,” Trump said during an appearance on Fox & Friends.

Trump added however that he was still hopeful the GOP will ultimately select an adequate candidate, despite being caught up in a “crazy” race in Iowa.

The New York businessman has publicly flirted with a Presidential bid since early last year.  Although he initially kicked off speculation by casting himself as a possible GOP candidate, he ultimately announced that he will not run under the Republican ticket.

Trump, who garnered headlines as a possible candidate by questioning Barack Obama’s eligibility, currently hosts the NBC program The Apprentice. He has hinted that he could formally announce his plans following the season’s final episode in late May.
