Donald Trump for president? No decision yet

Real estate mogul says he'll make decision by June

DORAL, Fla. – Donald Trump draws the who's who in golf and now a who's who of possible Republican presidential contenders looking for his support, though none will get it until Trump decides whether to run himself.

"Right now I'm supporting me," Trump said Friday at his golf course resort in Doral.

The real estate and reality television mogul said he will make his decision by June, depending, in part, upon who else is running.

"Where the country will be in a few months (will be a factor), and we're going to see it's not doing well," Trump said. "Worldwide, we're being scoffed at."

Trump met with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Thursday and has met with several other potential Republican primary contenders recently. He has speeches planned in the next month in several early primary states.

He has been a vocal critic of President Barack Obama, though not quite as harsh as former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who told a private audience this week that he did not believe Obama loves America.

"Rudy feels strongly about it," Trump said. "You know, look, the president can defend himself. A lot of people -- I was watching (the news) today, and a lot of people happen to agree with it."

Asked whether he himself believes the president does not love America, Trump had no definitive answer.

"I don't know. I really don't know," Trump said. "You'd have to ask him."
