Trumping Obama

For the last month, millionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump has made it his mission in life to shout from the mountaintop that something shady is going on concerning President Barack Hussein Obama’s long-form birth  certificate, or lack thereof.

He’s appeared on all the talk shows, including the one featuring that band of shreiking harpies, known as The View:

This morning, a video has hit the scene, showing a Bush-hating, Obama-supporting Donald Trump.

In an interview with Dominic Carter on NY1, New York’s Internet News Station, originally released November 11th, 2008,  The Donald said:

McCain, really, that was almost an impossible situation. Bush has been so bad, maybe the worst president in the history of this country. He has been so incompetent, so bad, so evil that I don’t think any Republican could have won.

On President George Bush’s foreign policies:

You know, you can be enemies with people, whether it’s Iran, Iraq, or anyplace else and you can still have dialogue. These people wouldn’t even talk with him. It’s terrible.

At the time, however, he absolutely loooved President-elect Barack Obama:

I think he has a chance to go down as a great president. Now, if he’s not a great president, this country is in serious trouble.

I think [Obama’s] going to lead through consensus. It’s not going to be just a bull run like Bush did. He just did whatever the hell he wanted. He’d go into a country, attack Iraq, which had nothing to do with the World Trade Center and just do it because he wanted to do it.

Carter asked Trump if he ever thought he would see an African-American president in his lifetime:

They always said 100 years before a black man or woman could be elected president. And the 100 years turned out to be, like, one year. He’s done an amazing job.

An Associated Press GFK poll released at that time, showed that a majority of people shared Trump’s then-approval of Obama.

A total of 72 percent of those surveyed were confident the president-elect will do what it takes to revive the economy, while 68 percent predicted that Obama would be able to carry out his campaign promises.

Strengthening the economy was a top priority for 61 percent of those surveyed.

As of April 13th, 2011, per rasmussenreports.com:

Twenty-three percent (23%) of Likely U.S. Voters say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken the week ending Sunday, April 10. That’s down one point from last week.

And, 45% are worried that the federal government will do too much in reacting to the nation’s economic problems. But 41% are more worried the federal government will not do enough responding to those issues. Another 14% are undecided.

Trump, as a real estate mogul, has made his living by riding the wave of market trends, know when to jump on and jump off.

As of yesterday, 23% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.

The Donald has ridden into prominence once again, on a wave of national discontent.  Even over-the-top Liberals like Chris Matthews of MSNBC are calling for Obama to release his birth certificate.  Several polls have Trump in second place among Republicans (of which we’re not even sure he is one), behind the GOP Legacy Candidate, Mitt Romney.

Jeffrey T. Kuhner, in an article posted on washingtontimes.com, makes a great point:

The reality is that until Mr. Obama shows his proper, documented long-form birth certificate, the issue will not go away – nor should it. Many in Kenya’s political and media class say he was born there before being brought to the United States. His Kenyan family members make the same claim, while others in Hawaii insist he was born in Honolulu. There is only one way to end the controversy: Show us the birth certificate.

…The president’s supporters, however, cannot answer one simple question. If the controversy is so preposterous, then why has Mr. Obama’s legal team spent campaign money to prevent the birth certificate from being unsealed?

The answer: He is hiding something. It may be the stated religious affiliation, the possible identity of his true father, the location of his birth – no one will know until the records are revealed. But protecting Mr. Obama’s privacy is not a plausible reason and certainly not a justification for spending millions.

Any Liberal or so-called “fiscal” Conservative (a pseudonym for an incognito Libertarian or socially-Liberal Moderate ) acts like you’ve run over puppies or your family tree doesn’t fork, when you try to broach this subject with them.  So, perhaps, The Donald, in all of his egotistical flamboyance, is actually performing a service for our nation by pushing the issue of Obama’s missing birth certificate into the national spotlight once again.

That being said, I don’t trust Donald Trump anymore than I believe that he has a full head of hair under that comb-over.

However, I am enjoying watching the Liberals and fiscal Conservatives squirm.

Pass the popcorn.

    Trump is only repeating what others are saying. How could a man who pushed the UP button in elevator of politics not be asked for the proper identification and records before he was allowed to run for an office or even buy a home? Oh I forgot, we are talking about the Illinois political machine.

    You are right KJ….pass the popcorn.

    Yes, I feel certain that America will continue to live in misery just because a ‘Republican’ candidate says something off the wall.
    Keep going, Donald. I won’t vote for you, but at the moment, you’re the horsefly they aren’t fast enough to whack.

    Donald Trump is doing us a great service by talking about and investigating the birth certificate situation. He may not be running for president, but he is trying to help this country get rid of the imposter-in-chief because Trump is a patriotic American. Trump would probably make a great Treasury secretary. After all we are going to need somebody competent to rebuild our treasury after Obummer and the Demoncrats steal all the money. Maybe he will even make a contribution to get funding for the Treasury started again.

    Trump may not be the best candidate but I’d vote for him any day rather than keep what we have in the White House now. And Trump would at least have the guts to throw Obummer and all his cronies in jail for treason. Maybe he would even have them all executed.
