Donald Trump says he will announce whether he'll run for president on June 16

Billionaire businessman Donald Trump said Saturday that he would announce June 16 whether he’d run for President.

“I think a lot of people are going to be very happy,” Trump said at a Republican convention in Raleigh, N.C., on Saturday.

The real estate mogul referred to to his potential rivals as “clowns” in remarks to The News & Observer.

Trump, who considered a presidential bid in 2012 but ultimately signed on to another season of “The Apprentice,” formed an exploratory committee in March and has hired staff members in key states.

“People ask me why I may run for President,” he said Saturday. “I might so we can make America great again.”

The reality television star topped 2016 hopefuls New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and Ohio Gov. John Kasich in a May 28 Quinnipiac poll.

Trump also topped the “no way” section of the same poll — 21% of Republican voters polled said they would not support him in an election.
