Donald Trump may enter presidential race in May

He just needs to wait for his contract with NBC for Celebrity Apprentice to end because of equal time laws.

Trump told CBS News that he has met with almost all of the candidates and that he has very good relationships with all of them, but if the right candidate isn't picked, he'll have to enter the race himself.
