Real estate mogul. Political pundit. “Apprentice” host. Birther. Sometime presidential candidate teaser.

Also: “Statesman.”
That’s the latest title to be bestowed upon Donald Trump when he receives the 2012 “Statesman of the Year” award from the Sarasota Republican Party in August.

Trump has been tapped to receive the award on the day before the Republican National Convention, just 60 miles south of the festivities in Tampa Bay.
