NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Donald Trump dismissed MSNBC’s Chris Matthews’ criticism of his CPAC invite, saying the host says what he says because he needs to make a salary from the liberal network.
“I’ve known Chris for a long time, I knew Chris when he was sort of a conservative guy, actually — he’s changed a lot, probably he needs that to get his salary on MSNBC,” Trump told reporters in response to a question from TheBlaze after his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday.
Matthews went off on American Conservative Union head Al Cardenas during his show Thursday night for giving a speaking slot to “the No. 1 birther in the country” and called the real estate mogul “nutty on the issue of birtherism” for having cast doubt on which country President Barack Obama was born in.
“He’s a much different guy than he used to be, he used to be a much more intelligent man,” Trump told reporters.
He again took credit for Obama releasing his long-form birth certificate in 2011, saying in couching terms: “I did get him to release whatever it was he released.”
Trump said he had “a little bit of regret” for ultimately not getting into the presidential race in 2012, calling it “an election we should have won.”
He had harsh words for disgraced ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner, who resigned from office after sending lewd messages and was once reported to be considering a bid for mayor of New York City.
“Well, he’s a pervert,” Trump said. “It’s very simple. The guy’s a whackjob pervert.”

Mar. 16, 2013 at 5:33amI think the dialogue — and lack thereof — exposes the levels of depravity that we have sunk to as a nation.
Examples abound, and I am poor at quoting them, but they are in our face all the time. Why does nit-picking trump intelligent discussion?
The prime example is the diversion from the substantive issues to focus on the practically irrelevant things that the left bring up all the time, challenging the right to spend time and effort to answer the points of the irrelevant, in order to foist the destruction caused by the Constitutionally illegal laws passed, all those aimed at overturning us as a viable nation, based on the Constitution.
For instance, a recent news item mentioned that it has been six months now, since the Benghazi debacle, and no answers yet for the murder –yes, murder — of those four at the embassy. My simple question has always been: WHO SAID “STAND DOWN.”? The answer to that, and the followup, would expose the whole shebang, but oh no, we can’t have that, it might “embarrass” our Dear Leader.
Oh, that we could “embarrass” him right out of office!!!
Again, Remember Benghazi.

Next it’ll be the NRA, or Joe the plumber, or whomever he sees as a threat to his tingle. He’s just old and used up. Retire Chris , marry or get adopted by the Obama’s.

Mar. 15, 2013 at 1:11pmNo, Obama was “nutty on the issue of birtherism”. He didn’t show his birth certificate until he was pushed on the issue by Trump. And there is still skepticism as to it’s authenticity.
But Trump is a great self promoter and Matthews is out in left field.

Mar. 15, 2013 at 3:36pmThe President was right to ignore the birther lunatics just as he would not stoop to debunk claims that he was a robot or a werewolf because it is beneath the dignity of his office. And he was right to set aside those considerations and speak out when his nation needed him to help shut up Donald Trump’s fat, stupid yap for awhile.

Mar. 15, 2013 at 11:26amI actually believe Obama can have anything faked at this point and get away with it. Why was so much money spent to hide everything? Who does that?
Maybe it was his birth place he was hiding or maybe it was his birth father. In either case what he released doesn’t pass the test of truth to me. When examined the mexapixels don’t match up. It was touched up. Call me names like birther. It won’t change my mind.
I think his social security number should have been questioned also.
I think there is stuff to hide in his college transcripts. The Saul Alinsky tactic of name calling doesn’t make me change my position. Chris Matthews is a puppet of MSMBC. Trump is not a puppet.

Mar. 15, 2013 at 11:13amChris was never intelligent, but when it was a President he opposed he could bring on intelligent guests to talk about other ways we could or should be behaving as a country, and to discuss other facets of American life.
Under this President, bringing any intelligent guest risks exposing the failures and lies of an Administration that causes Chris paresthesia, and he cannot have that. No one can challenge his ‘Democratic leaders would know how to have sex with an alien’ fantasies, most especially if they use those pesky little things called facts and truth.

Of course, Sheriff Joe’s possie has already proven that IMO, but the Republicans and others refuse to persue the issue further and allow him to keep making a mockery of our nation.

Mar. 15, 2013 at 10:50amI like Donald Trump. Is he a good man? Well, I dunno….I liked his wife that he divorced. Evana, I believe is her name. But it’s not about his personal life whether I like him or not. I like the fact that he’s a Capitalist and his kind of people keep this USA engine running smoothly. If you disagree, let me ask you this…….do you like going to the store and buying whatsoever you like and/or need? Do you have a hissy-fit if it is not available? Uh huh….those people who provide these things to you and me are Capitalists folks! But what I like most about Donald is that he is a FIGHTER and he has his head on straight when it comes to ECONOMICS and that’s what I like about him. He knows what keeps the engine running and getting to you and me what we want and need. But Obama will change all that and stores are even now, and will be not carrying the things you need thanks to these Socialist/Marxists. It’s looking real bad folks. Real bad. Do you like your cosmetics….Obama will bankrupt companies who provide them to you. And medications? Even Tylenol or Advil? Yea, WH ADMIN will get to that too. You’ll just have to live with your aches and pains. Oh people, it’s coming….this is why Trump is so angry. Can you blame him really?

Mar. 15, 2013 at 11:33amObama’s debt and currency printing has caused prices to go up in everything…..food, gas, etc. This doesn’t help the middle class because they can buy less with the dollars they have. Yes, companies are folding. The regulations do add to the cost and aggravation. Obama is truly out to destroy this country and rebuild it in Marxism. They are putting all mechanisms in place so that when it reaches a catastrophy level they can swoop in and take our property. They want every ounce of freedom gone and that is going to take time but they have managed to really push hard. Unless the masses wake up we will no longer be a free country.
