Donald Trump said today he is troubled by President Obama's high standing among African Americans, suggesting he probably wouldn't get support from black voters that he believes he deserves.

"I have a great relationship with the blacks. I've always had a great relationship with the blacks," Trump said on Talk 1300 AM radio in Albany, N.Y.

Trump is considering running for president in 2012. He was responding to host Fred Dicker's reference to a recent Quinnipiac Poll showing Obama enjoys strong support from African Americans in New York state. That survey showed 95% of blacks in New York backing Obama. The real estate mogul said the numbers were "frightening."

More than eight out of 10 blacks nationally support Obama, according to a recent Gallup Poll.

This piece in the New York Observer goes into more detail about Trump's interview.

Trump has said he will decide by June whether to seek the GOP presidential nomination in 2012. He has made Obama's birth certificate an issue in recent weeks and told USA TODAY's Jackie Kucinich in an interview this week that he believes the president is "getting a free pass."

Singer John Legend said this week he believes Trump's criticism of Obama and his birthplace is "racist b-------."

About Trump's political aspirations: Spokesman Michael Cohen said in a statement that Trump may announce the time and place of a press conference on the May 22 season finale of Celebrity Apprentice. At that news conference, Trump will make a statement "whether or not he will run for president."
