Sarah Palin’s bus tour of Americana took a side trip into the surreal Tuesday evening when she paid a visit to Donald Trump at his triplex apartment in New York.
Navigating West 56th Street in rush-hour traffic, Ms. Palin arrived around 6:30 p.m. by chauffeured black S.U.V. at Trump Tower, having abandoned her One Nation tour bus, presumably outside Midtown. She alighted with her young daughter Piper, posed for a picture with a tourist and hurried past two dozen reporters and photographers.
She then had pizza with Mr. Trump at an outlet of the Famous Famiglia chain on 50th Street and Broadway. Artan Brdakic, a worker there, said they had a pepperoni pizza, a sausage pizza and a meatball pizza, with Mr. Trump wearing a suit with a blue tie for the meal and accompanied by his wife, Melania.
An aide to Mr. Trump said Ms. Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, had sought the meeting, having “reached out” that morning. Ms. Palin has generated more buzz about a possible presidential bid with the start of her road trip on Sunday — she has visited Gettysburg and the Liberty Bell — did not reveal why she wanted to pay a call on Mr. Trump and his wife. His own flirtation with a Republican presidential campaign ended last month amid speculation it was all intended to jolt his business interests.
Earlier this spring Ms. Palin voiced support for Mr. Trump’s interest in “getting to the bottom” of President Obama’s birth certificate. In 2008, during Ms. Palin’s vice-presidential campaign, Mr. Trump said he trusted her to deal with the nation’s economic crisis.
In going to meet Mr. Trump, Ms. Palin breezed into the residential entrance to the gold-clad building across from an Armani superstore. She was all smiles but did not pause for interviews. She did respond to one reporter’s question about Mr. Trump’s past donations to Democrats: “I think I’ll go change his mind and make sure he’s contributing to constitutional conservatives.’’
Then she disappeared into the doorman building before they left to have pizza.
On the schedule tomorrow, by some accounts: Ellis Island.

If you thought Donald Trump was done threatening to run for President, you obviously don’t know Donald Trump.
After Sunday night’s Celebrity Apprentice finale, I guess Trump realized he has nothing else to do, so he called into “Fox & Friends”. He expressed his disappointment with the current Republican nominees, saying that none of them can beat President Obama.
When asked why he made the decision not to run after weeks of pretending like he was going to, Trump said there were just too many sacrifices. Namely, not being able to say “you’re fired” without it having to go through Congress first.
“It was just a decision that I made, but who knows, stranger things have happened.”
I think the fact that even he acknowledges this whole thing as strange should get him denied as it is. Co-host Brian Kilmead clarified, “So you’re [saying]…you would not rule out a late entry if nothing pans out for the [Republicans]?”
“I would not rule it out, no, I would not rule it out.”
This is good news. Because it means we can expect more jokes at his expense. I wouldn’t even be disappointed if Obama gave up his career as President to mock Donald Trump full-time.

Real estate mogul and television personality Donald Trump has decided against running for president.
Trump said Monday he has decided against seeking the Republican nomination to oppose President Barack Obama in next year's election. Trump told reporters he was confident he can win the nomination and defeat Obama but he was more content to stay in the business world.
Trump, who has in the past toyed with the idea of running for president, appeared to be more serious this time, actively speaking out and pressing Obama to release his birth certificate.
The Republican field was already growing crowded 18 months ahead of the election.
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich threw his hat in the ring last week, and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, Congressman Ron Paul, and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney are poised to formally join the race.
One of the more popular would-be candidates, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, said Saturday on Fox News that he would not make a bid in 2012. Huckabee was a contender for the Republican nomination in 2008.

Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama are not campaigning together like 2008
![]() |
| Obama and Winfrey in 2008 campaign |
Famous television personality and one of the richest women in the world Oprah Winfrey's support for Barack Obama adds a new dimension . But unlike last time she is doing it technically as she is going to do a new job which she thinks is very sensitive. If people's liking for Obama weakens it will affect her enterprise.
For 2012, much has changed for Oprah. She now has own cable channel called OWN that has been struggling to find an audience — she isn’t going to do anything to alienate them, “Unlike in 2008, when a drop in ratings didn’t matter as much for the queen of TV, Oprah is now fighting every day to get people to tune into OWN."said a source.
Helping a friend keep the most important job in the world is great, but it is to done making sure her OWN network thrives which is more important for her as a personality. Meanwhile, Winfrey apparently wants to give Donald Trump a haircut! Sources say the billionaire media mogul is keen to end her iconic show by getting her hands on the real estate mogul’s legendary locks.
According to New York Post gossip column Page Six, the e-mail invitation to Trump’s office said, “The eyes of the world will be upon these episodes." Recently she has won a hundred million dollar lawsuit filed by a writer. So Oprah Winfrey has one less problem to worry about.
A federal judge has tossed out a Philadelphia writer’s $100 million lawsuit, which alleged Winfrey violated his copyright by reading on air without permission passages from a political booklet he penned.
Charles Harris claimed that on the Feb. 16, 2009 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Winfrey read questions that were the same as in his work How America Elects Her Presidents.
The complaint stated that Harris had sent several copies of his booklet to the show in 2008, in hopes of gaining publicity during President Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. He said he never heard back from the show.
Harris claimed that “the language and structure of the questions were exactly the same,” adding that the use was “deliberate, willful, malicious, oppressive and without regard to property rights.”

Winfrey said that the only question she asked that was identical to one in the book was, “Which one our presidents weighed the most?” and that facts are not copyrightable.
Winfrey filed a motion to dismiss and sought sanctions for a frivolous lawsuit. The judge ultimately declined to award Winfrey sanctions, saying Harris’ suit was filed in good faith.
Harris was seeking $150,000 for each “unlawful use,” plus statutory damages.
Sources say the billionaire media mogul is keen to end her iconic show by getting her hands on the real estate mogul’s legendary locks.
Though Oprah will not support Obama directly and publicly, people can easily imagine which side she is on and also can remember the campaign she was in 2008.
