THE DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE

Trump Announces Formation of Presidential Exploratory Committee

(New York, NY) March 18th, 2015 - Today, Donald J. Trump, the globally renowned business mogul, announced he is forming an exploratory committee to determine whether he will run for the office of the President of the United States.

Donald Trump stated, "I have a great love for our country, but it is a country that is in serious trouble. We have lost the respect of the entire world. Americans deserve better than what they get from their politicians – who are all talk and no action! I have built a great company, created thousands of jobs and built a tremendous net worth with some of the finest and most prestigious assets in the world – and very little debt! All Americans deserve the same opportunity. Our real unemployment rate is staggering while our manufacturing base is eroding on a daily basis. We must rebuild our infrastructure, control our borders, support local control of education, greatly strengthen our military, care for our veterans and put Americans back to work! We must stop other countries from totally taking advantage of our representatives who are being out-negotiated at every turn. I am the only one who can make America truly great again!"
 

In addition to forming an exploratory committee, Mr. Trump has made several key hires in primary states with staff in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina as well as a team of political advisers based in New York.


Corey Lewandowski, Senior Political Adviser to Mr. Trump said, "Mr. Trump has the vision and leadership skills to bring our country back to greatness. He has run an extremely successful corporation for many years. During that time, he has created thousands of jobs.  Mr. Trump has a proven ability to present real solutions and get things done. He looks forward to meeting with Americans across the country and sharing those solutions to the serious problems we are facing."


Mr. Trump will be in New Hampshire this Thursday, March 19th meeting with a group of local veterans and business owners.  Mr. Trump will be available to the media when he attends a reception at the home of New Hampshire Representative Steve Stepanek located a 1 Colonel Wilkins Road, Ameherst, NH between 5:30-7:00pm.
