NEW YORK, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Real estate mogul and television star Donald Trump said Friday he wouldn't address the Republican National Convention, this month in Tampa, Fla.

He will, however, be doing something at the convention but declined to elaborate.

Using Twitter to contact the New York Daily News, Trump said, "I was asked to speak at the RNC but said no, because I will be doing something much bigger -- just watch!"

9. kind of like Chuck Barris

on the old GONG SHOW ..

"Just flew in from Vegas and boy!, are my arms tired!!!""

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. "Something much bigger"?

Donald, nothing is bigger than your ego. So I have to assume that this much bigger event involves filling your own head with helium and drifting over Tampa towing a banner that says "TRUMP > ROMNEY."

5. He's not speaking...so maybe singing, dancing?

[beac]

23. Maybe they've tapped him to tell Mitt

"YOU'RE FIRED!"

[Zen Democrat]

6. Maybe he's going to make Mittens his apprentice - on national TV.

[Wait Wut]

7. Shoot himself out of a cannon?

Sword swallowing?
Knife throwing?

I dunno. It's a circus. There are a lot of things he could do that don't require speaking. Maybe he's selling cotton candy!!! Ooooooh...I love cotton candy.

15. Animal act?

Maybe his toupee can jump through flaming hoops?

[Wait Wut]

19. !

Someone needs to make that into a cartoon!!!!

[rurallib]

8. He might have the gun concession

could be lucrative before that thing is over.

Or maybe he'll be the hair dresser for the speakers?

[Jack Rabbit]

10. That may be the first thing to go right for the Republicans in a week.

Now, it they can just limit Mitt from giving a brief sppech to the convention (like I accept your nomination to be president of the United States), they'll probably feel like they're really on a roll.

11. The rats are jumping the sinking USS Romney n/t

[Gothmog]

12. Maybe he will be an anchor for Comedy Central Convention coverage

I think that the Daily Show and The Colbert Report could find room for him to be a guest anchor for their convention coverage

13. Restroom butler?

[Daemonaquila]

14. Trolling from outside?

No "free speech zone" restrictions for him, of course.

[CJCRANE]

20. Or checking birth certificates at the entrance?

Trump will ensure no GOPers are allowed inside without the correct documentation.

16. wonder if he can top Stern's Fartman appearance at the MTV awards

[chknltl]

17. This means the massive net of balloons over the stage is still on.

[JHB]

18. Joining Ron Paul to challenge Mitt thanks to some procedural technicality?

Yeah, longshot, but might as well toss it out there.

[bitchkitty]

21. They must have noticed what a crappy businessman he is. n/t

[Brother Buzz]

22. He's been hired to fire Romney?

[reACTIONary]

24. I hope its a "Dunk a Trump" Dunk Tank....

[Canuckistanian]

25. Is that a promise?

Not that I care, I won't be watching the Rand-aplooza. I just can't stand the breathless publicity of whatever chunks of manure drop out his mouth.

[longship]

26. That's right. He is going to polish delegates shoes.

Trust me, it's a very big and important job.

It was the only thing they could figure out that wouldn't hurt them.

Well, they may be crazy, but they're not dumb... Well, most of them...

[high density]

27. Romney/Trump 2012!

Two clueless rich fucks, a perfect slice of the modern Republican party.
