another update..
Word started leaking out in Las Vegas earlier that Donald Trump's "major announcement" is to back Newt Gingrich, and sources supporting the former House Speaker confirmed to POLITICO that was fhe case. The New York Times and the Associated Press, among others.
But by this morning, other sources said that Trump's endorsement may actually go to Mitt Romney, who Trump has been lobbied heavily to endorse for the last few weeks.

update...
Word started leaking out in Las Vegas earlier that Donald Trump's "major announcement" is to back Newt Gingrich, and sources are confirming it to POLITICO.
The announcement is expected to come at an 11:30 a.m. press conference tomorrow that The Donald is holding.
The move is a bit unexpected, since Trump had talked even within the last few days about how he may be compelled to run a third-party campaign of his own if he didn't see a Republican candidate who he thought could beat President Obama.

Does it get any better than this!!!
==========================
A 'major announcement' from Trump tomorrow
What it is exactly isn't clear.
But from Trump adviser Michael Cohen comes this statement:
Donald J. Trump will be making a major announcement tomorrow (Thursday, February 2, 2012) at 12:30 p.m. at Trump International Hotel & Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada. He will be arriving this evening at approximately 11:30 p.m. The announcement will pertain to the Presidential race.
Sources said last week that Trump was getting lobbied to endorse Mitt Romney in the GOP presidential race, but he's also continued talking about a potential run of his own as a third-party candidate.
