Trump Surprises No One By Announcing He Won't Run For New York Governor

Donald Trump has finally put to rest an idea that pretty much only he took seriously.

Trump announced Friday on Twitter that he will not be a candidate in New York's gubernatorial race this year, ending months of speculation that should have been dismissed by anyone even remotely familiar with the reality television star's outlandish career.

"While I won't be running for Governor of New York State, a race I would have won, I have much bigger plans in mind- stay tuned, will happen!" Trump wrote.

The tweet captured both Trump's arrogance and delusion. A poll released last week found most New Yorkers don't like him and that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) would have triumphed easily had the two squared off.

1. This was a stunt for his TV show

Trump will never file financial disclosure forms showing to be less rich than he claims

2. I'm not running for governor of New York either.

Don't I get a lengthy TPM article for my trouble? Or a New York Post headline at least?

3. Are you a blow hard? Do you have a dead raccoon on top of your head?

No!? No!? Then of course you don't get an article!

4. He knows he could never win

New York is a pretty blue state for the most part, they would never vote for a birther as their governor.
