According to BusinessInsider’s own Megan Angelo who is currently at the NBC Upfronts, Trump just came on stage announced the decision live to the crowd: "After getting so many calls from Bob [Greenblatt] and Steve [Burke] I've decided we're going to continue on. I will not be running for president as much as I'd like to."
Trump's statement:
After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election.

Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.
