Donald Trump To Laura Ingraham: I’m ‘Proud To Be’ Labeled A Birther

Audio
» 24 comments

If there is a show where Donald Trump has yet to explore his questions about President Obama’s birth certificate then let him know and maybe he’ll appear there before the end of the week. Today, Trump called in to Laura Ingraham‘s radio show and declared Obama to be a “disaster,” while also admitting he is “proud to be” labeled a birther.

Trump bluntly tells Ingraham that Obama cannot produce a birth certificate, saying, “you can, I can – I got one yesterday, it took me a day – 24 hours – I got one.” And Trump dismissed the idea that he is feeling the heat for being so vocal with his criticism. Instead Trump wondered why Obama was like Teflon, claiming “you know what I don’t understand is these reporters that try and find everybody doing something wrong, [yet] they’re giving this guy a free pass.” Trump concludes “there’s something fishy” going on with the birth certificate and the more he looks into the issue the more confident he gets that there is something suspicious with the story.

Yet Trump’s criticism of Obama is not just limited to his place of origin. It was music to Ingraham’s ears when Trump declared “the man should not be President – I am not talking because of the fact he has no birth certificate, maybe for that too, but this is not a man that’s equipped to be President.” Finally, to prove nobody is safe from Trump’s verbal smackdown, Trump went after President Bush, arguing “I think the Bush era has really hurt us and, you know, the Bush era gave us Obama. Without Bush and without the mistakes that Bush made, we wouldn’t have Obama as President right now.”

    I’m sure he’s equally proud to be labeled an asshole.

    Single-handedly, Trump has shined the light back into Democrat darkness. It won’t do any good, of course, but it focuses on the deception and diversion Hussein and his regime use with impunity from the media, from law enforcement, and from his pet Dims.

    Are you some sort of drama queen?

    Trump says what he thinks w/o fear of the media or anyone else. We need someone like him to keep this issue alive and force obama’s hand. IF he has a birth certificate make him produce it. Apparently he either does not have one, or there is something he doesn’t want us to know about him.

    Keep it going Donald.

    I can just see it now. The general election will be ” The Birther ” on the Republican ticket vs ” The Abortionator ” on the democrat side.

    That’s not a word.

    For all you birther nuts who don’t know any better, Trump is a media whore and is simply doing this for attention which he is getting.

    The Donald is winning!

    Barry has a Harvard degree but no BS!

    Donald, why won’t Barry produce his birth certificate?

    Because he doesn’t have one!

    You have a trailer park degree and a relationship with a mullet – much like Trumps hair. You should do your best to keep this dirty little secret from Glenn Beck blow up doll. You know the drill asshole. Pathetic moron.

    I would actually like to see Donald Trump as president, as he might be just what the doctor ordered to put a spine back in the Republicn party. Face it, four days on the scene, Obama’s numbers are halfway to the water treatment plant, dems and left wing pundits are at their wits end. It’s not only OK but downright trendy to be a birther or Tea Party member. All we need is for him to impose a 25% across the board tariff on every piece of crap from China and all the third world countries ( what are they going to do about it, spite us and starve to death )? We need a real American man or woman in our White House right now and having the second biggest jackass in the country, would be a cakewalk after what we’ve got in there now.

    Why don’t you get lost for a moment if you have no substantial points to argue about. Your life itself is a worthless trash to society.

    I’m not sure but I agree that Republicans should make this their focus. And if Obama just… never shows it.. well.. nothing will happen, so good luck :P

    Obama Agnosticism . A better term for Birther(ism).

    Bill O’Reilly To Trump: ‘I Don’t Think You Believe’ This Birther Stuff

    This birther stuff isn’t something someone believes.

    It is something someone they wants to know., that apparently can’t be known.

    Believing Obama was born with the credentials required by the Constitution is an act of faith.

    So Bill O is the one with a belief, Birthers want facts, and the newspaper announcements as good as they are are only one small part.

    Next time you apply for a Visa, bring a newspaper clipping.

    Now when someone tells you they believe he was born a certain way, they deserve the respect of any adherent of faith in the unproven. Like Scientologists.

    So how about a little respect for those of us of little faith?

    But as for me, I demand proof, and leave the believey stuff for issues regarding the Diety.

    When the Birther story first came up, right after Obama became President, I read, I think it was in the New York Times. In Hawaii the State Government looks at a Real Birth Certificate the same as private medical records and is only available to Obama or maybe some relatives, so in place of a Real Birth Certificate they issue a Certificate of Birth which only declares he was born and with the minimum amount of information not declared medical or private. The Real Birth Certificate is kept private just like private medical records. Since Omaha knows he is legal and OK, he provably laughs under his breath at those silly birthers obsessed with this dead end road they keep going down. As long as they are kept busy as birthers, they are not bothering with the subjects that require more intelligence.

  • Wingnut Tormentor

    Hey here’s a novel concept: try beating Obama on the issues.

    There are plenty of ways to go after Obama without dragging in the birther crap.

    You guys don’t deserve any more respect than the people who said 9/11 was an inside job.

    I thought the Republicans say we should stop blaming Bush. I guess Trump didn’t get the memo.
