Donald Trump, certified birther?
In a wide ranging interview on today’s Good Morning America, the real estate mogul raised some doubts about the president’s citizenship.
“Everybody that even gives a hint of being a birther … even a little bit of a hint, like, gee, you know, maybe, just maybe this much of a chance, they label them as an idiot. Let me tell you, I’m a really smart guy,” he said in the interview, which took place aboard his private plane, Trump Force One.
“I was a really good student at the best school in the country. The reason I have a little doubt, just a little, is because he grew up and nobody knew him.”
Trump went on to say, “When you interview people, if I ever got the nomination, if I ever decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They’ll remember me. Nobody ever comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It’s very strange. The whole thing is very strange.”
Trump was equally forthcoming when he spoke about his fellow Republicans.
On Palin–she’s “an amazing woman,” and qualified to run for president:
She was the governor of a great state. She did fine as the governor. I think personally she made a tragic mistake when she left early … She did a good job as governor…And she’s a tough cookie. I think she’s more qualified than Barack Obama was when he became president.
On Boehner–man up!
I don’t like the crying…I do not like it. I don’t understand it. I really like him as a person. I think the crying is an emotional thing that frankly, probably makes him a very nice man. But you know, I don’t like to see it in a leader.
On Santorum–you’re a loser, dude.
He lost his Senate race. How do you lose a Senate race and then all of a sudden show up and start running for president? You know, he’s a nice guy … but I don’t think he has a chance.
So how seriously is Trump considering a 2012 presidential run of his own? Very seriously. Trump said that he is willing to put up $500-$600 million of his own money to fund his own campaign, provided that he is doing well. ”Part of the beauty of me,” he explained with a straight face, “is that I’m very rich.”
Trump also said that if he didn’t secure the Republican nomination, that he may consider running as an independent candidate.
Trumps plans to make a final decision “sometime prior to June” on whether he plans to run.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 11:16amI don‘t care for Trump’s personality, but his business acumen is in the right place. This doesn’t mean I will vote for him for president. I think the more pressing issue is with Islamic extremism and in this area I feel someone like Alan West would be more suited. If we can’t find a leader to squash this warped theology, there will be NO USA for someone like Trump to be successful within.
As far as the birther mentality goes, I think the BIGGEST proponent of it is due to Obama himself. He’s taken active steps to keep things perpetual. Obama could put the birther idea to rest permanently if he wanted to……….but evidently he is reluctant to expose himself.
Personally, I’d like to see a West / Bachman ticket.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 3:32pmOne thing that always gets me when talking about candidates is the comment “I won’t vote for him/her.” Really? Maybe in the primaries, sure. By all means, vote for who you think will be the best. But what about the general election? It will be somebody against Obama. What will you do? Vote Obama? Personally, I will vote the somebody ticket, I do not care if it is McCain or Romney. Hell, at this point I would vote for Hillary Clinton if she turned Republican and won the primary…I guess your only choice is not to vote, and I suppose that decision depends on how bad you want Obama out! :-)

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 4:54pmTsunami, with islam extremism people often point to “they hate our freedom” as the cause and suicide bombs as the effect. They’ve got the effect right, but they fail to listen to the terrorists words when it comes to the cause. If you listen, it is almost always because of our military presence in the region. How would you feel with a foreign country in yours? Don’t get me wrong, i support our troops fully, but you have to ask the question why are we there? I used to be 100% for the war but have since educated myself. We can all agree that we need to be energy independant and that we are over there protecting the west’s oil interest. By drilling here, we can do both and not give the terrorists a reason to hate us. They are a very angry minority that the rest of the muslims gravitate to because they see the west proping up dictators that oppress them.
Troll, if we get McCain2 i will vote for Obama, because we will deserve what ever we get and he will bring it sooner. Just look at how many people have awakened after his 1st term, that wouldn’t have happend with McCain.

As far as I’m concerned they can all be exterminated, either by their own actions or the actions of others defending themselves.

Trump will not be obligated to any special interest group or Unions. He would probably take responsibility for the US and run it like a business to start making it some revinue. And if you think Trump is arrogant, you haven’t been watching Obama. I have yet to see Obamas eyes when he gives a speach, he has his nose so far to the sky, the telepromters must be on the celing.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 11:34amI watched religiously for 3+ years, starting way back on when he was on CNN. It took me 3 years to come to this conclusion after watching nothing but Beck and Fox for my news.
When I started doing my own research on 911 and came to my own serious conclusions; Beck decides to go on the air against ‘truthers’. He had on a couple of ‘experts’ back in the day and just rail-roaded them, wasn’t fair.
He did the same with the ‘birther’ thing; as he is doing now through this propaganda machine called ‘the blaze’. There‘s more than enough evidence to suggest there’s a cover up of the birther issue.
How about his stance on Debra Medina – the one true Libertarian candidate for the TX governorship last go around? Completely railroaded. If you’re not from TX, you may not know who I’m talking about.
How about his stance on Ron Paul? The one true libertarian LEADER who can really turn this country around with common sense laws, fiscal spending and keeping our own military fingers to ourselves.
Beck doesn’t support true freedom, he railroads it. He has an agenda just like every single other media outlet on cable.
We may agree to disagree now, but in due time with your own honest questions I think you may see it my way (after a few YEARS) of watching..

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 2:04pmI agree with what I hope is your main point CLEMV, but I believe you take it too far. Yes, we cannot trust people like Romney and McCain as they will say anything to satisfy conservatives and win elections, while at the same time governing to the left (McCain/Feingold, Romneycare etc).
However, there are also true conservatives in Washington. The difficulty is discerning who is who. I believe one of the best indicators of a true conservative is the level of vitriol thrown at them by the left and the the standoffish (and sometimes even negative) relationship with the “Republican” establishment. People like Bachman, Demint, Palin, Paul are not popular on the Left or in the Republican establishment (even though they are popular amonst the general population)…which makes me think they are some of the few who actually believe what they say. Combine the attacks made agains them with their records and I believe there are some who we can safely elect as conservatives. Now, how do we make sure one of these few is our Republican nominee?

Both parties in Congress have been and are letting Obama skate on this issue, something even the Progressive McCain wasn’t allowed. Soros and his gang of global progressive thugs must own most of our Congress or have just frightened them to death. Either way, we the People lose.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 11:39amWell I had never considered it much until now. He is a wonderful business man,doesn’t mind hurting anyone feeling so we would not have to worry about him being pc, I don’t think he would run but once, I know he would not be afraid of foreign affairs, he deals with most of them anyway, We would not have to worry about him being obligated to anyone and doing favors for them.He knows how to make decisions and doesn’t have to research it for months as does Obammy,we would always know what he is thinking because he will tell us.He certainly believes in capitalism,he is a conservative, would do whatever for small businesses, He would not even have to use Airforce one,he has his own.He does know how to wheel and deal and barter. One thing he said I was impressed with was if he went to war he would have the country we were fighting in to pay for it with oil or money so it would not be our burden. He is very arrogant but we are certainly used to that and he has more of a reason to be than Obama because he has accomplished something.I keep putting more and more things in the plus column for him.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 12:57pmFirst, I don’t trust Donald Trump as a conservative. I believe he is an opportunist, especially when you consider his political donations. I don’t think a true conservative or libertarian could stomach donating money to liberal progressives such as Rahm Emmanuel. I’m afraid he could easily be a Nixon…conservative in lip service, but someone who increased the size of government the most of any Republican President that I can think of. We need a true conservative running as the Republican Nominee.
Also, I’ve heard several people say they like the idea of Trump because he will run the USA as a business. That sounds great, but that’s not the role of the US government. The role of the US government is to protect the constitution. Businesses don’t have individual liberty. As an employee, I do what my boss tells me. In reality, the last thing we want is our President treating the USA as if he is the CEO of a business. IF, people mean that he will de-regulate the economy, promote free market policies, lower tax burdens, reduce expenditures, etc. because he knows that the USA needs a balanced budget and businesses need freedom to thrive, then I’m all for that, but we need to better define what we mean when we say he would run the country as a business.
Thirdly, his running as a third party candidate would be a disasterous decision and is more evidence that he’s not a true conservative, but an opportunist. He knows he would never win as a third party candidate. Running as a 3rd party candidate would possibly help his ego and fame (personal gain/opportunist), but could only result in the re-election of Barack Obama (terrible for the country and conservative values), just as Perot paved the way for two terms of Bill Clinton. If he really believed in conservative values, I don’t believe he would even consider a 3rd party run.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 3:19pmWow! Just wow to sissykatz and selfgov1st!
You two have perfectly described both sides of the argument with Trump! I agree with both of you, and I am leaning towards endorsing Trump. Is he a teaparty ideal candidate? Nope. Is he a RINO? I dont think so because I dont think he is “political.” I think he is self-serving, but I also believe he has the country’s best interest at heart here. He certainly is not running (if he runs, but I am pretty certain he will) for money or power. I think the potential is there for him to be a Nixon, to expand the government, to be the worst thing possible…But that potential is there with anyone, we cannot know what anyone will do once in power…I tend to believe Trump is more for a smaller, streamlined, efficient government. I do not trust Trump as far as I can spit, he is a business man and again, he is self-serving. But the only (potential) candidates I would trust are Palin and Huckabee simply because they are Christians and will not knowingly lie. But maybe it is naive to want the ideal tea party type in office. Maybe we need someone who knows how to wield and use power, how to play the DC game, how to deal with other countries…I cannot think of anyone more suited in this aspect than Trump…
I am cautious…I want to hear more of what he has to say…But I think I would overlook my “ideals” in favor of someone who can get elected and who can make a difference.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 4:04pmDonald Trump’s agent is Rahm Emanuels brother. He donated to Rahms campaign because he was doing a “favor” for his agent not because he believed in his political views. Is this someone you want to be our president?(more of the same shxt) He has also gone bankrupt numerous times, but was “too big to fail” because the banks that lent him the money would go under too. So, they lent him more money!

It is like this my friend, I will vote in my state’s primary and I will vote my conscience. I will take stock of the candidates running and I will vote for the one I think is best. I am not making any decisions right this minute, but as I said, Palin is top of the list and I like Ron Paul. I also like Huckabee, in fact, on the political compass he falls closest to my personal ideals. I will listen to Trump, research his record, and make my decision about him apart from the media and forum noise.
But that is the primaries.
In the general election I am voting Republican. I am always open to a respectable democratic candidate (for any office) but I have yet to find one. :-) What other choice is there? 3rd party candidate? Forget it. If Trump runs 3rd party and Romney is the Republican candidate then I vote Romney, even though I hate him. If Palin is the Republican candidate then I enthusiastically vote Palin and pray like hell….If Paul is the Republican candidate then I am happy to vote for him. This is just life. Derailed the country? Save it friend…There is a such thing as reality…

Posted on March 18, 2011 at 7:37amSelfgov1st–I wouldn’t be so quick to discount a third party candidate. Please show me what the latest crop of Republican saviors have done in the two and a half months since they’ve taken office. From where I sit, a third party is looking real good to me right now. And I am so not alone in this.
Here’s something to chew on: How would you defuse, demoralize and destroy a Tea Party? If I owned just enough Republicans in Congress, I’d make sure they tarnished the image of Conservative or Tea Party candidates by wholly disappointing their supporters over the next couple of legislative sessions. And all the while I’d keep my propaganda subtly focused on this: no third party. A third party can’t win; a third party will just get Obama re-elected; blah, blah, blah. I’d make sure between my ownership of Congress and my subtle propaganda of no third party that the People felt they had no choices left but to vote for my hand-picked candidates, like an Obama, a Romney or a McCain.
More elections are stolen by limiting the choice of candidates than any fraudulent registration of the dead (which is the cover crime for the bigger crime, by the way). Oh, I could do so much if I owned a few Republicans, like Boehner, and I had the money of a Soros. I could own this country.
As for Trump, I would cast a vote for him before I will ever cast a vote for a Progressive like Romney or Obama.
When the only difference between members of two political parties is the letter after their last name, you don’t have a two-party system. So, in calling for a third party, I’m really advocating a return to a true two-party system, not this RINO and DEM Progressive dog and pony show that passes for political theater in this country these days.
No wonder Soros laughs at us all–we apparently can‘t tell a RINO from a DEM and we apparently don’t know that just because the propaganda says we have no choices doesn‘t mean we don’t have any choices. We all have to grow a pair or a spine or maybe both and admit that both so-called parties in this country are owned by interests that would love to see that threat known as the Tea Party dead in the water so they can continue play-acting on the political stage while destroying it behind the scenes.
Yeah, I’d take a Trump over any other candidate right now. You bet.

Posted on March 19, 2011 at 1:57amI agree with SISSYKATZ. I’ve always been fascinated with Trump. He is arrogant…but he’s successful enough to not be judged too harshly. What ticks most of us off…is the arrogance of Obummer who is a well spoken fraud in a nice suit….along with his progressives, who truly DO live in a bubble. They don’t know…or perhaps just don’t care, what real down to earth people feel and think, or how they really live day to day. They did however, get a taste of that in the last election. I am a proud member of a Tea Party, and until I knew Obummer was running for the presidency, I never investigated any politician…protested at any gathering or joined a political movement. I’d bet the vast majority of members across this country were in the same boat. I had learned all about Obummer’s upbringing and his “mysterious” background, his communist and socialist friends, and his questionable rise to fame, long before the election that made him president. It was so very frustrating to see how the media and the American people ignored all that information. Now they’ve found out a lot of that info, and regret their decision. That is why we’re reading this blog and commenting here. Regardless of our political leanings…we’re all interested in our own personal beliefs and hope for his ouster or, God forbid, his reelection. Yeah….regarding Trump….I agree with SISSYKATZ.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 11:09pmActually she quit because democrats had filed a whole slew of frivilous lawsuits that they fully intended to drag out in the courts for years draining the taxpayers of Alaska dry. I’m sure it would have been more honorable for her to do like the creten former governers of Illinois and use millions of taxpayer dollars on their defense and end up convicted and in prison anyway.
As soon as she resigned all the lawsuits were dropped. Proving undoubtedly that they were all baseless and only intended to be distractions and a smear campaign.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 11:55pmIt’s really simple. The birth certificate Obama produced is fake. Even though the State of Hawaii said it’s legitimate, it’s not. Even though Republican Governor said the birth certificate was legitimate, it is not. Even though there were birth announcements from Hawaii newspaper of his birth, they are simply wrong. Any and all evidence that Obama was born in this country is false. That’s a given.
So what else does President Obama have to offer? Nothing. Enuf said.

Posted on March 18, 2011 at 12:16amYour wrong JZS, by far, I wasn’t one of these birther people, but there has been a lot of work put into trying to get hi real birth certificate and nothing.
I am not saying the man wasn’t born here, cause I don’t know that. However, I Will say , some thing is very Fishy. I have a feeling they are hiding something. The more research done of the guy, turns out nothing. He did the same for his entry into the Senate. I don’t know , even you JZS, who seems fairly smart, would look over the facts and say the same.

Posted on March 18, 2011 at 12:39amSo Trump expresses some doubt about Obama’s birth in Hawaii. So what’s wrong with that? It has become a federal offense to question whether Obama is being wholly truthful about the subject. This reaction is encouraged and promoted by progressives. They even made up a new term “birthers” to demean anyone who has questions about the subject. If Obama cannot even once publicly state his place of birth (and leaves others to do it), then it is only natural that the question remains on the table. Trump is an astute businessman and realist who needs proof – substantiated proof – before he will commit to a fact or statement. When you want to know something, go to the source. In this case, the source is unwilling to allay suspicions….and that is very unsettling to people who just want the truth.

Posted on March 18, 2011 at 12:54pmThe idea of birthers misses the mark. Obama will NOT release his long form birth record because in the box for religion was entered Muslim since his mother practiced no religion but the father was born a Muslim. It is a religion you can’t quit or change. Campaign staff probably wanted that hidden in 2007 since it may have sunk him in the race. Now they are too deep into the cover-up. According to his writings and interviews he seems to NEVER had a normal or even a conservative friend, mentor or professor. He was always, as he says, was attracted to the radicals and Marxists professors and students. His is singular view of the country and mainstream Americans. His screed about clinging to guns and religion is right out of the liberal/progressive dismissive handbook of what anyone who is not them must in fact be. Stop in any small town diner and talk politics. There many interesting and well informed people spread across the country, both right and left. Big cities tend to be echo chambers of someone‘s else’s recycled liberal ideas. Very little independent thoughts and ideas. Political correctness rules the day and is ingrained from childhood. I truly doubt Obama has ever examined his ideas and political views with an independent eye or a balanced view from the many intellectual writings, by Independents and Conservatives.

Posted on March 18, 2011 at 2:53pmThe reason Palin left office early was due to the Democrats using Alaskan ethics laws to harrass her while she was trying to serve the state. In Alaska, government employees have to pay for their own legal counsel if they have ethics violations brought up against them. Palin was having so many ethics charges brought up against her (one charge was so frivilous–she was brought up on ethics charges for wearing a jacket with the manufacturer’s emblem on the front while doing state business as the governor) that it was taking too much time to defend and she couldn’t effectively perform her duties as Governor; not to mention the huge financial cost to her family. Now she is called a quitter and ridiculed by the likes of you Donald for doing the right thing for the people of Alaska. Donald, I don’t recall you offerring to pay her legal bills, but then again, maybe I am wrong. And in response to you running as a third party candidate……..go ahead if you want The Big Zero to be president until Jan. 20, 2017.

Nope, because the Marines I know don‘t care about my beliefs as long as I don’t try and push them on my co-workers. In fact, I have good debates with many of them all the time.
Tell us, how do you debate people without truth, facts, or a defense ?

Posted on March 18, 2011 at 10:13pmKeep in mind that the legal bills for attorneys kept mounting as the Democrat Machine tried to destroy her. By resigning she was free to both earn money and reply to attacks and removed herself from attacks on Alaska. She made a wise but unconventional move; if she had toughed it out, there was a good chance she would be financially ruined.

How on gods green earth could anyone get elected without disclosing all this BEFOREHAND. Under normal circumstances any one vieing for the presidency and refusing to disclose this information would IMMEDIATELY be tossed aside . WHAT HAVE WE COME TO.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on March 20, 2011 at 4:18pmObama is not a USA “natural born” citizen and for the life of me, I don’t understand why no one in a position to do something about this hasn’t done anything. The Constitution states that the President must be a “natural born” citizen of the USA. Although the Constitution doesn’t define a “natural born” citizen common law and many court cases, including 4 different US Supreme Court rulings has. They define a “natural born” citizen as one who’s both parents are citizens of the USA. Obama’s father was never a USA citizen; therefore, Obama is not a “natural born” citizen and is not legally our President.
