Did Donald Trump decline to run for office due to embarrassment?

Perhaps. :-) Donald Trump used to be cool but when I heard that he was a major player in the Birther movement and then made the comment that "he gets along with the blacks." I was pretty much done with him.

Maybe, but also possibly just a simple lack of support.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
