Are you aware that he just declared but did not file? I mean, this couldn't possibly be a publicity stunt by Mr. LOOK-AT-ME, now, could it? Look, if Caribou Barbie taught us anything it's that there's a lot of money to be made running for president. Most of these guys are in it for the money or the publicity or both and most know they haven't a prayer for the nomination. I wouldn't worry about Trump being #2 because, despite the media falling all over themselves over him, this isn't a real run.
ETA: I was just informed that he did file 3 days ago.

I suggested it will happen exactly when he would be having to reveal his funding and such. Don't know how long he can run without filing. Or what, if any, sanctions would be placed on him if he doesn't.
Not that he has a snowball's chance of getting nominated, but still.
