NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – It’s official.  Donald Trump is running for president of the United States.

The real estate mogul made the announcement today at the Trump Building in New York City, vowing to make “this country great again.”

The announcement all but ends all speculation about what happens with Trump’s reality TV show, “Celebrity Apprentice” and the 2016 Miss Universe Pageant (which Trump owns).

Speaking to journalists after his candidacy announcement, Trump confirmed that will not sign  a new contract for what would have been another season of “Celebrity Apprentice.”  He also said that he is suspending the Miss Universe Pageant in 2016 in order to focus on his presidential campaign.

The news devastated many Miss Universe hopefuls, including Miss Japan Ariana Miyamoto and Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach.

Perhaps if Trump loses the nomination or election (which he will), the 2016 Miss Universe candidates can represent their countries in the 2017 pageant.
