Donald Trump, who argued with Whoopi Goldberg on The View over Obama’s birth certificate, released his own. So yes, Virginia, Donald Trump is an American citizen, and eligible to run for president. Trump continues to raise questions about President Obama. Bad enough ‘The Donald’ doesn’t like Obama′s policies and agenda. So will this issue score points from Trump as he nears his decision to run this June?
This latest round of controversy began on Monday when Trump gave an image of what he thought was his birth certificate to NewsMax.com. However, it turned out to only be his ‘certificate of live birth’ much like the one Obama released to the public. Tuesday, after some howling from the Far-Left, Team Trump dug deep enough and located his actual birth certificate.
Other Republican hopefuls considering a presidential campaign are avoiding the topic. Much like them avoiding any specific plan to reduce spending and balance the budget. Or, for that matter, restoring a health job-creating economic environment to America. Of course, so far they have only formed ‘exploratory’ committees, which translates into finding out whether they can drum up enough campaign donations.
So is Donald Trump a birther? Or is he just making hay, grabbing headlines and stoking his enormous ego? Trump acknowledges that he believes that Barack Obama is “probably” an American citizen. But he contends that Obama should produce his birth certificate to end the debate and put to rest, once and for all, any speculation. During his appearance on The View, Donald Trump argued with Whoopi Goldberg and the other ladies that perhaps there is “something” on the actual birth certificate that President Obama does not want known. He also argued that we never see any people being interviewed on TV that knew Obama as a child. Trump contends that people that went to kindergarten with him would remember ‘The Donald’. Maybe because he already had that remarkable quaff of hair! But, at least it is now official, Donald Trump was indeed born in America, even though his place of birth was ‘The Jamaica Hospital’! Sometimes even I need a good chuckle.

Donald Trump will have obama for breakfast, obama has no chance against Trump. Trump is way too witty and clever, he’s shrewd, and pulls no punches. obama can’t hang with that.
Aside from that, Trump will get the country in order. His proposals for his tenure as president will win over Americans and foreign governemnts will respect him after his first move as president. I wouldn’t want to go against Trump, he’s a powerhouse.
There are those who say Trump is pushy, obnoxious, arrogant, to be frank, I think we need someone like him in office! The sugar coating has to stop and he’s just the person to stop it.

Trump would be an improvement.
Hell, so would I.
But we’ve both got so much dirty laundry it would never happen.
March 29th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
Heh,
A blobfish would be an improvement over Obama. Too bad they generally reside in the SW Pacific Ocean and are not eligible to run for president.

“Donald Trump argued with Whoopi Goldberg and the other ladies that perhaps there is “something” on the actual birth certificate that President Obama does not want known.”
Given that he’s also said he has questions over where he was born, he apparently thinks the Hawaiian birth certificate might say he wasn’t born there.
Honestly, how could this meme be any more idiotic? What piece of paper exists that has any less confusing piece of information? Have you checked your marriage certificates to see if they say you’re married, or is that pretty much the only way you get one. Sheeesh.

Everybody says, “why is Barack Obama not just producing the birth certificate?” Ok, first of all, he did. And you’re never going to get, you’re never going to get a conspiracy theory to stop. You’re never. Glenn Beck.
Folks, when you’ve got Beck, certainly an expert on asinine conspiracy theories, debunking your conspiracy theories, you KNOW it’s time to move on.

If you repeat or infer something enough times it will eventually be accepted as fact.
For example, up until recently more than half of Americans thought that Iraqis were behind the World Trade Center atrocities.
Or consider the Swift Boat episode.
The candidate that was recognized as a war hero was eventually portrayed as the candidate that was “chicken”. Brilliant by the way.
You have to hand it to Karl Rove. He was the master of misdirection.
When pressed on any element that was “dangerous” he would divert it to issues that are known to elicit a response.
“What about the economy?”
“Gay marriage”
“What is the status of the war?”
“Abortion”.
He was the master at coming up with key words and phrases and repeating them over and over.
“Security, war on terror, immigration, Medicare”.
He utilizes simple advertising theory to get someone elected.
If some candidate does not hire this guy in the next month they are nuts.
Under his leadership the candidate becomes irrelevant.
Reminds me of that old movie, The Candidate.

If you ever watch Trump on “Trump’s Golf World” on the Golf Channel you can gain a lot of insight into his personality and management style.
He is clearly brilliant and productive, but his ego does handicap him to a certain extent.
He is often the smartest and/or the richest person in the room, but while that may be obvious he can’t help himself. He has to constantly remind people he is the smartest and richest person in the room.

That’s true, buzzbee, Trump is an egomaniac. But lets face it, anybody running for president HAS to be!
March 30th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
I dont doubt Barrys citizenship. Never have.
But, unless it says hes Jewish I see no reason to not produce the damn thing.

Buzz;
“If you repeat or infer something enough times it will eventually be accepted as fact.’
You mean like…
Bush lied, soldiers died.
Bush blew up the levees
Bush stole the election
Bush caused the depression
Bush and Cheney made a pantload off of Halliburton.
“Mission Accomplished” meant we were completely done with Iraq.
Al Queda is mizundastood
Hamas are freedom fighters.
Our troops are raping Afgani girls like Genghis Khan.
Global warming….
that kinda stuff ?

#4 – “Given that he’s also said he has questions over where he was born, he apparently thinks the Hawaiian birth certificate might say he wasn’t born there.”
Clean the poop out of your ears, he thinks there is a POSSIBIITY that he was not born in the U.S., therefore there wouldn’t even be a Hawaiian birth certificate.
#5 – “Everybody says, “why is Barack Obama not just producing the birth certificate?”
Pay attention, it’s a certificate of live birth, different than the actual birth certificate. Before you post you should know what the hell you’re talking about!
“Folks, when you’ve got Beck, certainly an expert on asinine conspiracy theories, debunking your conspiracy theories, you KNOW it’s time to move on.”
Before you post a$$inine comments that don’t hold any water prove Beck wrong, you cannot, therefore YOU move on!

“#4 – “Given that he’s also said he has questions over where he was born, he apparently thinks the Hawaiian birth certificate might say he wasn’t born there.”
Then it wouldnt be a Hawaiian birth certificate numbnuts.
Then again, almost half you idiots on the mainland think were (Hawaii) a foreign country where the women run around topless and we all have bones in our noses
March 30th, 2011 at 3:51 pm
Well. if they were running around topless…we would have bones
March 30th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Hawaii is a nice place to visit but living there…I don’t know. I think there are too many pineapple trees.
March 30th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
He looks like an Egyptian mummy. I hope that’s lead free paint he’s put on his teeth. HE was born in Egypt, three thousand years ago.
Didn’t Poe write a short story about him?
Time to fire Trump.

The funny thing is that Trump is becoming even more skeptical now than he was 2 weeks ago when he appeared on The View. On O’Reilly’s show tonight, he alluded to the possibility that the actual birth certificate may indeed list his religion as Islam. That would be one big reason Obama wouldn’t want it made public.
March 30th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
He’s not becomming more sceptical. The man loves to see his name in the news – his new-found birtherism keeps it there. I live in NYC. I’ve been seeing headlines about Trump for about thirty years now. He is a publicity whore. He’s a smart real estate developer, a shrewd businessman and generally regarded by NYers as overbearing, tacky, tasteless and self absorbed. Here in NY these qualities are tolerated with a blend of disdain and who gives a f&^%. In a presidential election he’s toast. If he makes an attempt to become a serious candidate it will take a 3rd grader with a computer five minutes to ruin his campaign with a basic search of past NY Post headlines.

“Hawaii is a nice place to visit but living there…I don’t know. I think there are too many pineapple trees.’
You’re safe as long as you dont build your shack under one.
================================================
“that the actual birth certificate may indeed list his religion as Islam. That would be one big reason Obama wouldn’t want it made public.”
I’m tellin ya man…he’s Jewish.
Think about it, imagine.
Liberal Jews hate Israel.
If Muslims find out he’ll be targeted for the ultimate betrayal.

2 points of disagreement, ta…
1st, Trump’s past will be less of an issue than that of the past of a ‘professional politician’. I forget if it was Charles Krauthammer or some other ‘wiseman’, who compared Trump’s many marriages with those of Gingrich earlier this week on TV. Trump’s past behavior will be held to a different standard.
2ndly, as we all know from history (and not “Mr. Wells’ history, but REAL history” [name that movie line?]) countries and peoples who have been through the wringer, much as we have the past few years, often do elect the crazy nationalist, no matter how nutty he may be. Every single poll shows how Americans are having less and less trust and faith in our institutions. That opens the door to the Gallant Knight, riding his steed of glory to our rescue. The steed may be a “Purple Dancer…held together with cheap glue and sealing wax” (name that movie line?) but it sure looked good from outside the store window!

You mean like “We already released it.”?
