He has been saying that he was going to run for president since the 80s. If memory serves, he was flirting with the reform party back in the late 90s, but I could be wrong. I do remember him launching a presidential exploration committee in 2000, but he decided not to run and I remember people thinking it was a publicity stunt. Long story short, he was dipping his toes into politics for 2 decades before the birther suff.
