Trump: I could enter presidential race in May

Real estate mogul and television host Donald Trump told Hotsheet Tuesday that he may enter the presidential race as an independent in May if "the right person doesn't get nominated" by the Republican party.

"Come May, when the Celebrity Apprentice is completed, my contract to NBC is completed, I'm a free agent, as the expression goes," he said. "I can make a decision. You know, obviously it would have to be as an independent."

Trump said he would be forced to wait until May to enter the race because of equal time laws, which he called "ridiculous" in light of President Obama's ability to travel the country on the taxpayer's dime. (The law mandates that if one candidate is given time on a network, that network "shall afford equal opportunities to all other such candidates for that office in the use of such broadcasting station.")

Trump said he has "met with almost all of the candidates numerous times" and that he has "very good relationships with all of them." He said he may make a decision about an endorsement, but said that "if the right person doesn't get nominated, then I'll make a decision about whether to get in." Perhaps most aggressive in seeking Trump's endorsement has been Michele Bachmann, who has met with Trump three times.
