Donald Trump will NOT announce he's running for President (again).
One simple reason.

He will NOT reveals his detailed financials. Part of the reason why he makes those "fantastic and amazing" deals is because the other parties assume Trump's on secure financial standing. Were a relevation to shine from having to reveal his secrets, Trump would take a hit in future business prospects.

Money will be more important to him than power.

1. Good observation. He also has the world's biggest ego and is a shameless
self-promoter. He couldn't get elected to any office and he knows it, but it doesn't keep him from opening his big yap and inserting foot. He ought to ask Meg Whitman or Carly Fiorina about trying to buy political office. Sometimes money can't buy everything.

4. Money can help though. Bloomberg certainly has used it in NYC.

3. Not to mention the fact that...
the man has some serious skeletons in the closet. Mob connections, shady money from China, etc. Part of me wishes he would set up a exploratory committee just to watch the ensuing hilarity.

6. He fits right in with being
A Repuke. They wouldn't care about that. They don't even care when "Family Values" guys get caught with whores and in diapers. Or Rudy Ghouliani in a dress kissing Donald Trump doesn't bother them either. But let a Dem do that and he or she is toast. Hell these assholes would vote for Sarah if she were the choice.

5. His ego is even more important to him than money.
And he's full of hot air. Talk is cheap, Donald Dump (sic).

8. He had a moment to think about 200,000,000 people critisizing, and no way to hurry & fix the economy
and decided there is no way he could come out of this smelling like a rose...so all bets are off.
