It looks like Donald Trump is seriously considering taking political office.

The business mogul announced that he is officially forming a presidential exploratory committee to determine whether or not he should run for president. That's right, you could be potentially referring to the Celebrity Apprentice boss as President Trump.

You can decide whether or not it has a ring to it!

His decision, he says, stems from his belief that the United States of America are in terrible shape.

"I have a great love for our country, but it is a country that is in serious trouble. We have lost the respect of the entire world. Americans deserve better than what they get from their politicians --- who are all talk and no action!" he says in a press release. "I have built a great company, created thousands of jobs and built a tremendous net worth with some of the finest and most prestigious assets in the world --- and very little debt! All Americans deserve the same opportunity."

His statement continued, "Our real unemployment rate is staggering while our manufacturing base is eroding on a daily basis. We must rebuild our infrastructure, control our borders, support local control of education, greatly strengthen our military, care for our veterans and put Americans back to work! We must stop other countries from totally taking advantage of our representatives who are being out-negotiated at every turn.

"I am the only one who can make America truly great again!"

Trump's political leanings have never been a secret, as he always has been very vocal about his beliefs. When there was attack on Charlie Hebdo in France, Trump offered his condolences and prayers to everyone affected but also took it as an opportunity to share some controversial opinions on Twitter.

"If the people so violently shot down in Paris had guns, at least they would have had a fighting chance," he wrote. "Isn't it interesting that the tragedy in Paris took place in one of the toughest gun control countries in the world?"

"Remember," he wrote, "when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!"
