Donald Trump. The name conveys many things

-- open mouth, insert silver foot.

-- knows everything about everything and never hesitates to tell you.

-- braggart

-- billionaire

-- bankruptcies galore

-- women

-- more women

-- much younger women.

And now President of the United States?

He's signaling the nation he wants it, but there is not a single reputable authority in the land who believes he'll actually throw his oversized hat (for that oversized head) into the ring. Or that he'll ever get into the Oval Office, unless he's got a visitor ticket.

Except, that is, my go-fer Aime Joseph. The other day Mr. Joseph (as we call him) let me know in no uncertain terms that Trump was his pick for president next year. Given the fact that he was rabid for Obama last time round, this is a monumental change of mind.

What caused it?

Mr.Joseph's reasons were these:

-- Trump's demonstrated business acumen.

-- His knowledge and exploitation of the media, giving him near universal name recognition.

-- His money.

-- His money...

Get the picture?

More GOP presidential candidates than ever... no clear-cut leader or even early favorite amongst them.

It has long been a given of American politics that Republicans select presidential candidates they know well and who have generally already run for president before, even if they've lost. This description fits Richard Nixon (defeated 1960, elected 1968); Ronald Reagan (defeated 1968, elected 1980); Robert Dole (defeated for vice president on the Gerald Ford ticket 1976, then defeated for president 1992); John McCain defeated 2000, then defeated again 2008).

The man who fits this mold for 2012 is former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, defeated by McCain 2008. But while he's the likeliest at this hour to become the next GOP nominee, the Grand Old Party is not yet ready to crown him.. or Sarah Palin either, who unlike Romney, actually got on the McCain ticket, only to go down to defeat with the man who chose her.

Which leaves the Republicans with the largest field of presidential candidates since 1964.

Here Trump sees his advantage... and with billions at the ready, he'd certainly be a strong candidate, right?

Absolutely not. Take a look at these...

1) First, the little matter of presidential manner, seriousness, temperament and demeanor. We like our presidents to be.... well, presidential. And even a tyke in grammar school will give a reasonable definition of what that means. We want a president (man or woman) who without much stretch fits the truly gigantic shoes of George Washington and company.

For openers Trump's favorite subject is Trump. In fact, he hardly knows another. And when attention turns to that subject, Trump is always ready with yet another egregious, bumptious, tasteless battery of arrogance and self-congratulation. America may have near universal name recognition of the man... but we also know Trump stands for a brand of noisome self-aggrandizement that permanently closes the door to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

2) Complete lack of suitable experience for the presidency. Americans so liked the idea of our first black president that it swallowed Barrack Obama despite his thin resume with national affairs. Still, he was a sitting United States senator at the time of his nomination and election.

Republicans have traditionally been sticklers for offering the nation men who had blue-ribbon resumes with plenty of valid experience. Trump offers absolutely none of that; not a single example of foreign policy experience and (except for specialized tax information) absolutely no experience with any important subject of national affairs. In addition, he has not one scintilla of experience with members of congress. Not a cream puff amongst them, they will soon show a putative President Trump that he needs more than bombast and one-liners to deal with them.

3) A lifetime of often silly, sophomoric, ill-considered very much on-the-record remarks.

Trump is quotable alright... in spades. However, his remarks range from mean-spirited to vituperative; just plain stupid to wildly ludicrous. The media of the world love him. Voters won't.

They know the importance of the American presidency; it's the most important office in the world and the nation won't tolerate an ignoramus in the job, for all that he's rich.

4) And while we're on the subject of the Trump billions, I reckon one very good reason The Donald won't run for the roses is his tax returns. He'll have to publish them of course; folks would rightly wonder at their contents if he didn't.

But is Trump willing to bet that the nation and its tax-pressed citizens will overlook any even minor infraction that may surface? Being just the third billionaire to run for president (Nelson Rockefeller 1968 and Steve Forbes 2000), you can bet your bottom dollar each and every line of every document he is forced to release will be examined under a microscope... forcing Trump to defend the taxes he paid, the deductions he took... thereby pushing his campaign off message for days, weeks... or even stopping it altogether.

5) The women.

Trump has gloried in his ability to pick up chicks, all but his first wife years younger than he is. He should open a museum called Trophy Wives inside one of his casinos. Inquiring minds want to know.

The thing about collecting and discarding chicks (married or otherwise) is that the discarded ones wait a lifetime for sweet vengeance. Trump is a sitting duck. And God only knows how much of the iceberg of domestic catastrophes is known... just the tip?

As for his platform, policies, beliefs, and recommendations for a Trump- lead renaissance? He's on an odyssey around America right now inciting kooks everywhere on the matter of President Obama's right to be president because of where or where he was not born. Yup, Trump's a "birther", despite the fact that the State of Hawaii long ago certified Obama's birth there. It's typical Trump has lead with an item that has no benefit for America but that ensures buckets of free media attention from shock jocks suckled on conspiracy theories.

In short, it's petty, beside the point, trivial.

In other words, perfect for Trump in these heady days when he looks at his unkempt locks in the mirror and sees a President Trump none of us looking hard can ever see at all for all that he's rich as Croesus.
