The Donald brought up the subject again yesterday with the ladies of The View, saying, "I want him to show his birth certificate"
"There is something on that birth certificate that he doesn't like," Trump said.
Trump's apparent support of so-called "birthers" didn't sit well with some of The View co-hosts.
As Whoopi Goldberg put it, "That's the biggest pile of dog mess I have heard in ages."
Fox News is promoting Donald Trump's recent call for President Obama to "show his birth certificate." Several Fox News hosts have hyped Trump's comments without noting that Obama released his certificate of live birth from the state of Hawaii when he was a candidate in 2008.
Obama Released Certificate Of Live Birth In June 2008; Experts Confirmed Validity. In June 2008, Obama's campaign made public a copy of Obama's certificate of live birth, which was published on the Internet by numerous media outlets. Many experts, including a team from FactCheck.org, reviewed the document in person and determined it was authentic. On July 27, 2009, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, certified that she had personally seen Obama's birth certificate in the original records maintained by the Hawaii government.

FARK Headline: Donald Trump is running for President as a birther, suggesting Obama will have hell toupee
The Republican primaries are going to be farking awesome.
He wouldn't stand a fart's chance in a hurricane of getting elected. He's a pompous moron.
It would be entertaining to see him at the debates though.
I asked yesterday and am going to ask in every birther thread, Is there anyone in the Republican Party who has come out and said Obama is an American Citizen without using weasel words, such as "I take him at his word". An actual declarative statement is what I want.
Sure, who better to run a bankrupt nation than a guy who's bankrupted his own company three times? He's proven he has as much financial savvy as the people running the government now.
Donald Trump is the guy who's famous for no explainable reason
Trump is famous for two reasons:
1. He was something of a real estate mogul back in the '80s
2. His hair is a bird.
Donald Trump is the man whose casinos went bankrupt THREE FARKING TIMES.
How in the fark does a casino lose so much money that it goes bankrupt THREE FARKING TIMES?
Yeah, THAT is the kind of business expertise we need in the White House.
He doesn't want the gig. He wants free publicity for his next television show/book/attention whoring project. Just like Palin and Huck, he sees this as a way to feed his addiction to celebrityism. The last thing any of them want is the actual job of being president. People expect you to do something if you win.
When will this birther nonsense stop? Seriously, it's all so stupid. Then again, this is the US we're talking about, the place where Sarah Palin, a woman who believes dinosaurs and humans coexisted, is their idea of an ideal president.
The class war is no more. What we have now is a war between the intelligent and the stupid, with a very small faction of wealthy intelligent people switching sides and using the stupids as a means to get their ends.
"He wasn't born here!" = "I can't believe a Negro is president!"
The Republican party needs to learn that pandering to the dumb hillbillies, fundamentalists and paranoid geriatrics will only get them so far. If you spend all your time talking crazy, yeah, you're going to get all the crazy people on your side, but you completely alienate the sane, regardless of political leanings.
If the ballot was between Trump and Palin...
Isn't that a bit like having to choose between ebola and aggressive brain cancer?
...how aggressive?
Does it ever occur to anyone who believes Obama wasn't born in the U.S. that Hillary Clinton would have made sure everyone knew it when she was running against him for president?
For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true (except if born out-of-wedlock)[7]:
1. The person's parents were married at the time of birth: check
2. One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person was born: check
3. The citizen parent lived at least ten years in the United States before the child's birth: check
4. A minimum of 5 of these 10 years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday:check
The Republicans have alienated too large a fraction of the population, so the only hope they have each time is to whip the far right religious base up to turn out at near 100% by hyping each election as critical because of abortion/christian hegemony/racial purity, although when they get in they obviously do very little about them apart from a few headline grabbing stunts, while spending the majority of the time finding new ways to funnel government money to their backers - which is obviously very easy to do for politicians of all stripes when the political discourse is so debased, and they have managed to corrupt the media to ignore the issue of political bribery, and the judicial branch to declare it a constitutional right of a politician to be bribed.
