Reporting from Washington and New York -- Donald Trump, whose public flirtation with a presidential run has overshadowed the early stages of the Republican primary race, announced Monday that he will not be a candidate in 2012.

Speaking at an event to announce NBC's fall network lineup in New York, Trump said he would continue hosting his reality show, "Celebrity Apprentice."

"I will not be running for president, as much as I'd like to," he said.

In a statement, Trump said the decision "does not come easily or without a regret," and said that he believes that had he run, he could have won.

      If, as some suspected, Trump's supposed presidential aspirations were actually an attempt to goose ratings for his NBC series, the strategy may have backfired. According to data obtained by The Atlantic online, "Celebrity Apprentice" had one of the most liberal audiences on television, and viewership was declining as Trump's criticism of the president peaked.
