When NBC made the grand announcement that The Donald was expendable on the "Celebrity Apprentice," the kibosh was put on all the Presidential GOP contender chatter for the real estate mogul who relishes his bully pulpit from the peacock, versus the life of a real Pol.

So today the news is that "The Apprentice" will be back with Donald Trump next season. The Donald will lay to rest his political aspirations and focus on helping the GOP fundraise as he keeps the fire to the feet of the Chinese and Pakistan.

Trump says: "Well, thank you very much, and in particular, I'd like to thank Brian (Roberts), Steve (Burke) and Bob (Greenblatt). Terrific guys. NBC has been amazing. This will be our 12th season, and I have to say, I love 'Celebrity Apprentice.' We’ve raised tens of millions of dollars for charity. We’ve never raised so much as we have in the last season. And after getting so many calls from Bob and from Steve and everybody, I’ve decided that we are going to continue onward with 'Celebrity Apprentice.' We're going to continue making lots and lots of money for charity. I will not be running for President, as much as I'd like to, and I want to thank everybody very much. Thank you very much. Gonna see you for a great season."
