Trump Eyes Namesake Tower for Announcement of 2016 Plans
Donald Trump hasn't officially announced that he's running for president, but he's pretty sure where he'll tell the nation his plans — and that place will be one that bears his own name.
The billionaire real-estate mogul, who has often hinted around a presidential campaign but has never mounted one, told The Washington Post that his posh namesake Manhattan skyscraper would be the ideal place for him to make his announcement.
"Trump Tower is fantastic — 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, with an atrium that can hold thousands of people," he said of the landmark building. "In the history of running for president, no one has the sites I have."
While he's got his location in mind, though, Trump so far isn't among the wide slate of candidates planning announcements this month, so far.
Last week, he told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly that he does have a favorite among potential Republican candidates: himself.
