Donald Trump told Fox News on Tuesday he is "seriously considering" running in the 2012 presidential election in the U.S. "I’m a Republican so if I did anything, I’d do it, I guess, as a Republican," he said. "I’m totally being serious because I can’t stand what’s happening to the country." Trump’s statement follows a report in Time magazine that a recent poll in New Hampshire about the 2012 race included questions about him. According to the real estate mogul, the results of the poll are "amazing.""We have no common sense. And we’re losing this country," he said. "Mark my words, if we keep going this way, we’re losing this country. It will no longer be great. It’s not respected to anywhere near what it used to be."
