And says he'd take a Cabinet position if offered...

Donald Trump has made his endorsement for the Republican nomination for president. Trump announced in Las Vegas that he was giving his endorsement to Republican front-runner Mitt Romney.

"It's my honor--real honor--and privilege to endorse Mitt Romney," Trump said. "Mitt is tough. He's smart, he's sharp. He's not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country that we all love. So Governor Romney, go out and get ‘em. You can do it."

Romney, who was present for the endorsement, followed that with, "There are some things that you just can't imagine happening in your life. This is one of them. Being in Donald Trump's magnificent hotel and having his endorsement is a delight."

Trump later called into TMZ Live and said he would accept a position in Romney's cabinet if offered and would do a better job than those in place.

"I love what I do ... I love the real estate business, I love building things ... but I love the country even more ... if i can do anything to help, whether it's [under] Mitt Romney or anybody else ... I would love to do it ... if it's good for the country." he said. He added, "I will say this ... I'd rather have me negotiating against China, against OPEC and against lots of other people that are laughing at how stupid we are ... I would rather have me negotiating for us than the clowns that are negotiating right now."
