since that indicates he is really serious about running for the nomination? or was this just a big publicity stunt?

(95,071 posts)Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton is blaming him for the killings in Charleston, South Carolina, an attack he returned as "pathetic" and as evidence that "politicians are just no good."
In an 11-second video posted to his Instagram account on Friday, Trump, the bombastic new entrant into the Republican presidential race, said Clinton "blamed me for the horrendous attack that took place in South Carolina."

(2,003 posts)While this isn't something that's required to run for president, it is pretty much demanded by voters.
He'll have to bloviate from the sidelines though. If he doesn't file with the FEC, he won't be allowed to participate in the GOP debates no matter how well he's doing in the polls.
