Trump, Still A Birther, Says Obama Was Born In Kenya

Source: talkingpointsmemo.com

In a typically candid interview with The Daily Beast’s Lloyd Grove, Donald Trump demonstrated that he is still very much in the vanguard of the birther movement.

From Grove’s piece:

“A book publisher came out three days ago and said that in his written synopsis of his book,” Trump went on, “he said he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia. His mother never spent a day in the hospital.”

Is Trump a Republican? Was he ever really interested in running for or being President? I dunno, perhaps.

But if we know nothing else about him, from the past 30 years of him, we know that he is a first-rate media whore and "running" for the Republican nomination last year and latching on the birther movement will get the media to throw your name in print while also appeal to 40 percent of the population.

like they did when he flew to Vegas to kiss Trump's ass.

Hell, the media still hasn't even bothered to ask Donald what ever became of his imaginary Hawaiian investigators.

If an older black man(Obama's father), enters Kenya with a teen looking pregnant white woman, How did they leave Kenya together with a newborn mixed race child? This is 1961 right?

"Republicans link Obama to crazy shit Rev. Wright said years ago but won't link Romney to crazy shit Trump said TODAY."

Willard should quit getting a pass on this one. He's embracing racist tinfoil hattery.

I've had high blood pressure for 40 years, and this sort of horse-puckey sends it through the roof.

Donald Trump is a self-aggrandizing, predatory opportunist (add your own adjectives here) who will do anything to keep himself in the (Murdoch) news. Yeccccchhh.

Where was his hair born, anyway?

naturalized. He's not an American citizen. Donald Trump is a four times bankrupt shyster. He couldn't manage a lemonade stand.

And to go on. George Rmoney, Willard's (the Demos need to photoshop Willard with rats,) father was an illegal immigrant from Mexico. John McSame was born in Panama, and was a Panamanian.

out on it.

I did a post here last week about Mitt's family - I really don't understand why he gets a pass on his family roots and Obama has to take the lies, pure lies!

My post included lots of links to information that clearly show Mitt needs to either Bring Out his Birth Announcement and Certificates or say, "sorry for the cover up that I let continue when I should have been fair and honest ."

Edit to add:

PS/ Bet Rev. Al could call the Rethugs out on it
That would be even better than Biden because Rev. Al is African American and he truly understands the pain that the " Birther" lies cause our/my people.
