A Combative Donald Trump On CNN: Obama May Have Pulled Off ‘Greatest Scam In History’

video
» 207 comments

On CNN’s Newsroom, CNN anchor Suzanne Malveaux confronted self-described potential possible presidential candidate Donald Trump over comments he made on The View saying “nobody remembered” President Obama from his childhood. Malveaux, who traveled to Hawaii and interviewed childhood friends of the president, and some of his coaches and teachers, played parts of her documentary featuring recollections of Mr. Obama as a child.

Trump pivoted from his earlier comments, saying “if he was three years old or two years old or one year old and people remember him, that’s irrelevant.” Trump also said he doubts the Hawaiian governor remembers the president’s birth, saying the governor may be “taking a bullet for the party.”

In an interview marked by an often sarcastic and combative Trump, the Apprentice star suggested that President Obama–if he was not truly born in the U.S.–has pulled off “the greatest scam in history.”

    Obama’s scam was fooling foolish people into thinking he was a man of substance when he was a conniving , partisan hack of an empty suit .

    ” The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency…”

    Inability to get ahead in life by one’s own deeds and knowing this, and the subsequent failure of ever having a really hot chick. Just ask obama or barney frank.

    The worst part-knowing that Hillary Clinton, or Janet Napolitano (Ok any rank DemoKKKrupt broad) are your superiors. LMFAO-HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!

  • George Sore-ohs

    It really must bother the Libs to have someone stand up to them like Trump does.

    Just because someone knew him in school or kindergarten doesn’t mean he was born in the US.

    So much for CNN investigative reporting. About as bad as the people they helped take over Egypt. CNN and Anderson Cooper are going to have to wear any Islamic takeover of Egypt in the future. If the Burqa fits wear Suzanne.

    Also the Democrats who said they were going to charge $100.00 for anyone who wanted to view Obamas BC have also mysteriously been silenced.

    Meanwhile, Obama continues to spend millions to keep from producing a $25.00 document!!!

    Gov. Neil Abercrombie was at the hospital at Barry’s birth?

    LMAO!

    Hawaiian officials say they have the original document, so why will Barry not permit them to release it?

    It is so funny the length the MSM will go to protect Barry, when all he has to do is release the long form.

    The best part is watching the various MSM interviewers looking like deer in headlights when Trump doesn’t sheepishly back down, but “punches back twice as hard”. Almost like bringing a gun to a knife fight, right Barry?

    Someone is lying. According to Obama’s Kenyan (paternal) grandmother, as well as his half-brother and half-sister, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii as the Democratic candidate for president claims. His grandmother bragged that her grandson is about to be President of the United States and is so proud because she was present DURING HIS BIRTH IN KENYA, in the delivery room. -This, according to several news sites and Pennsylvania attorney Philip J. Berg (see video below) who is, surprisingly, a life long democrat himself. Berg is the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, and he has an impressive background in his activities as a democrat, but his support for the party seemingly stops when it comes to his trust in Barack Hussein Obama.

    how could the hawaiin governor forget the day obama was born. you can’t forget a day when you saw sunshine and rainbows shoot out from between his mother’s legs during contractions.

  • Barack Must Go

    Right now Chris Matthews is having a nervous breakdown on live TV over Trump exposing Obama as the fraud he is and nobody can stop him.

    Matthew’s even went as far as exclaiming Michelle Bachmann would never call Obama a Kenyan, are you ready for this, Matthew’s now says because Bachmann is too honest to do that.

    He spends most of his show for the past 3 months calling her a liar, idiot, zombie, now he says she’s too honest.

    Maybe his head will finally explode ” LIVE ” right there on National TV.

    Trump has nailed the Obama Kenyan connection beyond a shadow of a doubt. When somebody as influential and unable to be shut up as Trump tells the story, rather than the Obama regime contolling the talking point narrative, Barack Hussein Obama’s future electability for second term as president is in big, big trouble…….Thank God for that.

    Again, nothing but a misleading headline at mediaite.

    the only combative person in that interview was Susanne. She was defending, pretending, protecting hehimself at all costs, like no otherhas done before her (except every other liberal loon individual who claims an anchor chair).

    Trump was spot on and Suzzanne showed that CNN is what we all thought all along – nothing but a mouthpiece for the DNC and hehimself.

    Here’s a quote from Linda Lingle, the REPUBLICAN governor of Hawaii from 2002-2010. The interview is widely available on the web.

    “”This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country.

    “So I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact and yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue and I think it’s again a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this.”

    Apparently you don’t get it. Obama has already provided a birth certificate.

    Just because you and your crackpot conspiracy theorists CHOOSE not to believe it doesn’t mean he has to prove anything.

It looks exactly like the copy of Obama’s that one can view on the internet!!! It even has a raised seal and is accepted as proof of citizenship..not only by the motor vehicle dept. but for passports and marriage licenses…this, of course is in complete contradiction to Trumps claims just today on CNN.

    GUESS WHAT!…Barack Obama is already the president of the U.S.A. and regardless what some short racisist dink who had a wife get him rich before he started sucking on lemons and selling matresses just wants to be the next Ronald Regan and is trying to make himself feel better for ditching the only person who truly cared is he was even alive-his WIFE. The only thing lower Donnie Turnip can say is “he’s a nigger and needs to go and pick cotton” but then he’d be letting the world bluntly know he don’t like President Barack Obama simply because he isn’t white.

    The problem is some states give out “Certificates of Live Birth” to people who were not born in the State. What people are looking for is the real Birth Certificate.

    I think it exists and Obama was born here, but some theories say that the “White/Caucasian” check box may be checked and/or his name is listed was “Barry”. In other words, it’s an embarrassment issue.

    The problem now is too much time has passed and many people won’t believe Obama/. He should have released it YEARS ago and no one would be talking about it.

    I’m beginning to think that the rightwingers on this blog are not really representative of the general population. I’m sitting in Manhattan where we know Donald Trump only too well. He’s a very flamboyant real estate mogul who’s had mixed success in life after being set-up in business by his father Fred Trump who was a genuine self-made multi-millionaire businessman. Donald Trump has had his ups and downs and always manages to come up roses and he’s also done some positive civic projects in New York. However, his attempt at running for President is as big a joke as Palin or Bachmann. He’s bascially been identified as a liberal type of guy so his sudden cozying up to the birthers and tea partiers makes one wonder about his judgment and integrity. Anyone with half a brain knows that Obama was born in Hawaii and it’s clear that Obama is pulling a fast one in toying with the birthers. Now that we’ve watched Beck implode, the rightwingers on this blog are switching to the birther issue which will shortly implode just as Beck has.

    ANYBODY GOT ANY LINKS TO INFORMATION ABOUT VERIFYING HE SPENT MILLION$ TO HIDE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE????

    That’s a moot point any way because Obama claims to have the real thing.

    The other point is that despite having a “Certification of Live Birth” I have NEVER in my life been asked for anything else.

    Nobody has EVER asked me for a “long form”…..nor have they ever asked for a certificate called by another name.

    Well, his grandmother’s (oh, excuse me STEP grandmother’s) statement that she was present at his birth is not hearsay. You must not understand the definition of that term. She’s offering what she claims to be is an eye-witness account bearing directly on the matter to be decided–i.e., the location of Obama’s birth. Dispute the translation or whatever, but that ain’t hearsay.

    I haven’t seen or heard that translated interview/statement….but I’m sure it’s not hard to get some random person to claim the President of the United States as her grandson. Got a link?

    It’s not a moot point at all. The point is that the certificates vary from place to place….there is no standard national form. You’re just arguing semantics.

    I don’t think you know the meaning of the word semantics either. You’re arguing that obama might not have an actual birth certificate because you claim not to and that some states don’t issue them (which is news to me). This point is entirely irrelevant because Obama has already stated that he has an actual birth certificate; and, moreover, that people have actually seen it. The question is, where is this actual birth certificate and why can’t he produce it?

    When I was 18 I took a job at Target. This was in California, the place of my birth. To prove citizenship I had to show two pieces of ID. I had my driver’s license and a certificate of live birth issued by Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in Oakland. Had a US flag on it and everything. I was told by the HR lady that that wasn’t acceptable and that she needed either a social security card (which I had misplaced) or an actual birth certificate. At the time, I didn’t know there was a difference between a cert of live birth, and a birth certificate. The funny thing is, the cert of live birth looks so much more impressive.

    When has Obama said that? He provided the certificate that you question.

    But my point is that the certificate that I have IS my birth certificate. It’s half a page long. That’s it. If there’s some longer document out there, I have never been shown it…nor has anyone ever asked me to produce it for any reason.

    In other words, I think you want to hold Obama to some standard that most Americans aren’t held to.

    Abercrombie was the guy who said he was going to produce obama’s birth certificate and then quietly changed his mind. I suspect that the real thing they want to hide is that under religion his BC lists “muslim”. Which is understandable. Perhaps his father insisted. I wouldn’t hold it against, despite my own fire-breathingly rabid islamophobia.

    He “changed his mind” because it’s against the law for the government to show your birth certificate to anyone who does not have a direct relationship to you (such as a parent, child, or other relative). The government is not allowed to just show a birth certificate to anyone who asks. Even if he wanted to he wouldn’t be allowed.

    The State of Hawaii (including the Republican gov, Linda Lingle) has stated repeatedly that this whole thing is nonsense and that the certificate provided is legit and has legal standing.

  • Gorgegirl

    Donald Trump is just a lunatic. He goes on TV saying how he has never smoked., doesn’t drink alcohol but he has been divorced a couple times. No mention of how he was going skiing in Colorado with Marla Maples while still living & married to Ivana Trump in the 1990′s. Nor does he shared how many times he has filed bankruptcy but he seems kind of stuck on himself and tells you how smart he is. If he is so doggone smart, how comes he had to file bankruptcy? After all, his dad gave him all the money – he didn’t have to form his company from the bottom up like most people.

    Obama could have dealt with this YEARS ago by just presenting it. None of these issues would have gained traction. Instead, he’s been silent and now more people are wondering about it all.

    This has moved past being a “birther” issue to solely being an “Obama” issue.

    Liberal Tormentor said:
    So, his grammie, who said she was present for the birth in Kenya is a liar?

    No the interpretor made the mistake. Here’s the transcript. Here’s part of the transcript but you can actually listen to the whole interview on the site. http://tinyurl.com/3le5raz

    Trump made an identical claim in a Today Show interview the same morning: “His grandmother in Kenya said he was born in Kenya and she was there and witnessed the birth, okay?”

    This is actually an old claim that has been bouncing around the Internet for years. But keeping up with the latest birther claims is often like playing Whac-A-Mole, and we never got around to this one. So here we go.

    The claim is based on an Oct. 16, 2008, telephone call between Bishop Ron McRae of the Anabaptist Churches of North America and Sarah Obama of Kenya, Barack Obama’s elderly step-grandmother. The interview is complicated by the addition of at least one translator, because Sarah Obama, then 86, spoke Swahili.

    The edited portion that often makes the rounds on the Internet includes this part of the interview:

    McRae: “Could I ask her about his actual birthplace? I would like to see his birthplace when I come to visit Kenya in December. Was she present when he was born in Kenya?”

    “She says yes she was. She was present when Obama was born,” said the translator.

    Smoking gun? Only if you stop the tape there and don’t listen to the rest of the interview.

    McRae immediately followed up by saying, “Okay, when I come in December, I would like to go by the place, the hospital where he was born. Could you tell me where he was born? Was he born in Mombasa?”

    The translator can be heard translating, and then, he said, “No. Obama was not born in Mombasa. He was born in America.”

    Said McRae: “Whereabouts was he born? I thought he was born in Kenya.”

    The response came back, “He was born in America, not in Mombasa.”

    “Do you know where he was born?” McRae continued. “I thought he was born in Kenya. I was gonna go by and see where he was born.”

    “Hawaii. She says he was born in Hawaii,” the translator said. “In the state of Hawaii, where his father, his father was also learning there. The state of Hawaii.”

    “I thought she said she was present,” McRae said. “Was she able to see him being born in Hawaii?”

    “No, no,” the translator said. “…She was not … she was here in Kenya. Obama was born in America … Because the grandmother was back in Kenya and Obama was born in America, where he is from, where his father was learning, learning in America, the United States.”

    Listen to the full conversation yourself. The parts in question begin about the 4:20 mark.

    McRae — who we should emphasize was not the translator — has kept the theory alive. In a Dec. 5, 2008 article, Salon ran an affidavit from McRae in which he maintains Sarah Obama confirmed she witnessed Obama’s birth in Kenya:

    “Though some few younger relatives, including Mr. Ogombe (one of the translators), have obviously been versed to counter such facts with the common purported information from the American news media that Obama was born in Hawaii, Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama was very adamant that her grandson, Senator Barack Hussein Obama, was born in Kenya, and that she was present and witnessed his birth in Kenya, not the United States. When Mr. Ogombe attempted to counter Sarah Obama’s clear responses to the question, verifying the birth of Senator Obama in Kenya, I asked Mr. Ogombe, how she could be present at Barack Obama’s birth if the Senator was born in Hawaii, but Ogombe would not answer the question, instead he repeatedly tried to insert that, “No, No, No. He was born in the United States!”

    That’s not what we heard on the tape. What we heard was a very rough translation in which an elderly woman agreed to the leading question that Obama was born in Kenya and that she was present. But it was immediately and clearly corrected — repeatedly.

    That is right. The one thing the teabaggers can not explain is why the COLB has not been debunked by any of the many state and federal agencies (or it’s employees) as a phony document. We are talking vital statistics (health dept. in HI), the FBI, CIA, Secret Service (the people who ensure the tamper proof nature of our legal tender) etc. Why has nobody (an official with a name) come out and said that the document shown is fake? Not to mention all the legal challenges in court that have been tossed out, the people bringing those suits getting FINED and disciplined (Army doc court marshaled) for filing frivolous crap. Supreme Court rejected it twice. Are you telling me Obama bought Scalia too? Sometimes, you just have to stop ingesting those shrooms, sweethearts!
