Donald Trump To A Baffled Anderson Cooper: ‘Someone Told Me The Birth Certificate Is Missing’

Donald Trump may have only landed on the 2012 presidential radar about two months ago (much to everyone’s chagrin), but in those two months he has somehow found what no other birthing sleuth had yet discovered: evidence that President Barack Obama‘s birth certificate doesn’t exist. That’s his latest headline-grabbing claim, anyway, in an extensive conversation aired tonight on CNN with Anderson Cooper. Needless to say, the latter is somewhat skeptical.

Yes, it has been only about two months of Trump– our archives place our first “wait, is Donald Trump running for president or something?” headline somewhere in February– though, to be fair, political soothsayer/Pantene model Rod Blagojevich had been hinting at this since sometime around last October. Amazingly, Trump has yet to run out of new things to say about the President’s birth certificate– the core issue of his faux platform– upping the ante with every new interview (and there are about seven new interviews a day). On tonight’s Anderson Cooper 360º, Trump made a shocking new revelation that absolutely proves there’s something fishy about the President’s birth certificate: it’s missing. “I’ve been told very recently,” he told Cooper, “that the birth certificate is missing. I’ve been told it’s not there and it doesn’t exist.”

The only problem with this breathtaking scandal, as Cooper quickly realized, is that this claim is completely unfounded. Cooper noted that CNN had sent many people down to Hawaii to check the same thing, and they had encountered a nurse who worked at the hospital and confirmed with Hawaii officials that the certificate exists. “I just heard that a few days ago from somebody,” Trump repeated, refused to identify where he got the information “that it’s either missing or not there” from. “It’s not appropriate,” he insisted, noting that it was “too soon” for him to reveal his sources, but that Cooper had to believe him. Cooper, in response, went back to square one, and asked him if he had anyone in Hawaii researching the matter at all. “I told you,” a peeved Trump replied, “100% correct– of course I do.”

In the second half of the broadcasted portion of the interview, Trump continued to insist that a “certificate of live birth” was not a valid document (“that’s not true,” Cooper replied somewhat hopelessly at this point), and that President Obama’s grandmother had let the cat out of the bag saying he was born in Kenya. He then once again asked why, if Hawaii officials have the certificate, they don’t just produce it. “Because they’re not allowed to,” Cooper replied calmly, noting doctor-patient privacy issues regarding that. After a “yes they can”/”no they can’t” back and forth, Trump challenged Cooper not to edit the interview and noted that all the government needed was President Obama’s approval.

Cooper announced this was only the first half of an extensive chat with Trump on the birth certificate issue, which means there are all sorts of new the same developments to be revealed tomorrow, for better or worse. For now, here’s part one of Cooper trying to make sense of Trump’s Hawaiian sleuthing adventure (via CNN):

No one else should interview Trump until he presents a certificate of live birth for that thing on his head.
Then he should be booked for 90 minutes with Charlie Sheen.

Keep at it, Trump. Then, go and win the Republican nomination. Lmao

Trump is so full of BS!
GJPinks

Hawaiian official claim that no one can have a copy of the original long form birth certificate, yet copies showing birth within a day of BHO are posted on the internet. This ‘birther’ thing started with Hillary supporters and continues because his Oneness refuses to show his legal long form Birth Certificate. Why? I feel certain he was born in Hawaii, but most likely there is some other legal form somewhere else that is the real problem. Adoption papers in Indonesia renouncing his US citizenship? Student loan or scholarship applications filed and a non American? Fraudulent paper work? Transcripts with poor grades or no transcripts at all?
BHO has historically achieved because others were forced to make public what should and normally would have been sealed records.
If something fraudulent is in the background, more people will start looking seriously at the fact that both of his books were ghost written.

If I was a conspiracy minded simpleton I would think Trump was getting paid by the DNC to harm the Republican party, it is amazing that people actually think this guy is a viable candidate!!!

Totally. I have two sons. One born in 75 and the other 79. I was never given long form BC’s for them. Only COLB. They were both able to get a drivers license, job, ss # etc with the COLB. I myself never had a long form BC and I am 55. I was able to do all those things plus a get a passport with the COLB. Not only is Trump full of shit, he is now looking more and more batshit crazy.

It was me, I told Donald that the BC is missing. I didn’t think he would buy it but he did. If anybody wants to interview me, I’m available, for a price…

Somebody called me and told me the real deal, I have heard from people what the real story is and I am willing to tell anybody who is offering the right price. Talk to me, baby, lets do this!

More Trump birther coverage from CNN. They can flog this story as much as they want, but people won’t forget the real issues plaguing our beleaguered nation — chronic unemployment, a stagnant economy, rising war casualties, an inability to protect our borders, out-of-control government spending, looming bankruptcy for Social Security and Medicare, the unpopular health care bill, etc. etc.

My advice to the liberal media is: engage on the real issues, and quit playing this diversionary game. No one is fooled, and the election next year will be all the more painful if you continue to avoid dealing with the real crisis at hand. You tried it last year with your “witchcraft in Delaware” charade, and paid a big price at the polls. Learn from your mistakes, or this whole birth certificate smoke-and-mirrors routine will be your last dance.

Trump, like most conservatives, thinks that all it takes to convince anyone that you’re right is to talk loudly over the person questioning you and totally ignore actual facts. Trump is nothing but a blowhard opportunist. I wonder how he’s going to like having all his business deals investigated if he makes the dumb move to run for President.

§338-17.8] Certificates for children born out of State. (a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.

(b) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate. The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.

(c) The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]

You see that bit at the end of that statute? The little part that says “L 1982, c 182, §1″? That tells you that statute was passed in 1982. The President was born in 1961. It would have been illegal for the Obamas to obtain a birth certificate for their child unless he was actually born in the state, use of time machines notwithstanding.

Next question?

Seriously- do you really have to have it explained to you? People who still have a copy of the certificate first issued when they were born, or who obtained a copy prior to the laws and forms changed in Hawaii may still have one of the older style certificates. If you no longer have yours and request a certificate from the State of Hawaii you get a certificate like the one that the president made public back in 2008 before he was even elected. It is simple- you can’t get what they no longer produce. They have computerized birth records even farther back than 1961, so when a person requests a copy of their certificate, they are provided with the perfectly legal and accepted Certificate of Live Birth which is stamped with the words “a true or exact copy or abstract of the records on file with the State of Hawaii”. The pictures of the certificate that appear at “Born in the USA” on factcheck.org is the abstract of the records. It has the imprinted state seal and the signature stamp of the State Registrar. It is acceptable for all governmental uses where a birth certificate is required from passports, social security, drivers license, insurance, marriage license or any other use where one must present said certificate. Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural born citizen of these United States.

LOL at Trump – he is really getting the media all stirred up and in the process proving the point that the media is in the pocket of Obama. CNN, just one of the many so-called “news” organs, that sent reporters to Alaska to dumpster dive on Sarah Palin. Cooper and his pals “reported” every piece of dirt, every piece of gossip, every piece of BS on the Palin family without any proof of corrcctness or any kind of context.

And here we have network after network defending Obama for NOT showing his birth certificate. These are the same news organs that went after W on this NG record which led to a “news man” falsifying government documents, and then putting them up as factual, only to be caught red handed.

Cooper needs to stop defending hehimself and just ask Obama to produce his birth certificate; it would all go away if Obama would just stop spending millions of dollars to hide his past from the public.

Dumpster diving against republicans, defending democrats – this is why CNN doesn’t get many viewers; we know who they are – democrats pretending not to be democrats. Boring and predictable.

ridiculous…if being on the side of the truth and all available evidence, save for breaking into the vault it is stored from cnn…The president’s certificate, she said, is stored in a vault in the building that houses the Department of Health. Ironically, unlike the certificate of live birth, it is no longer accepted for official usage.

There was a great comment on I think NBC ..the host pointed out how in France during a Miss France contest some of the women accused one woman of being a man. Not only that they accused her of having sex with a pre-teen boy & others things. All which turned out to be untrue, the reason for this was many of the women knew she was going to be a winner & threw all kinds of shit at her. But she got thru it & moved on, my point is the GOP is throwing everything @ Obama but nuthing sticks. The GOP knows Obama wil win & wll do everthing to stop him

Donald may/may not run, but one thing is for certain. Donald’s high polling numbers are proof positive, that all the other GOP presidential hopefuls are being overwhelmingly rejected, by most Independents and Repubs. Imo, the majority of Independents and Repubs believe the GOP choices are the bottom of the barrel. Trump may be the top of the line, when it comes to the other pitiful choices.

Twit! DHS/TSA doesn’t recognize any borth certificate. You have to have a Photo ID with a picture not older than 10 years past. But, guess what? You can get a Passport with a COLB or short form certificate, and you can use a COLB/short form certificate to get a driver’s license. Both of those will get you on an airplane, and the Passport in and out of the country.

Thanks for posting. One seldom encounters such a mindless twit as you, even in the blogosphere.

Here’s a guy is throwing in for Obama 1000%, but watches as a CNN investigator exposes exactly nothing.
It is amazing that they can get people with a straight face to explain that the reason the white house will not allow acess to the original is because there will still be someone who doesn’t believe. That is the answer! I’m not kidding!
After being told that, I would think the interviewer might drop back to maybe 999 9/10%. but no it’s still 1000% but with an incredulous look on his face. Yeah that’s 1000% alright.

Libs/progressives don’t want BO’s real BC brought to light and neither does BO…why?
tiredoftherunaround

Trump is correct. The original birth certificate doesn’t exist. It was destroyed in 2001 when all the records went paperless. I’ve posted this link elsewhere on another article. Cooper and the author is making a big deal out of this.

Also, Hawaii can release the document (if it still existed) with a signed Release of Information by……….. you guess it……..the person in question. Cooper is only half correct. The same person in question can sign a ROI to have his other papers revealed.
tiredoftherunaround

OK. Found a link. Trump is still correct according to (conflicting) information, and Anderson still wrong, though.

Who knows now whether or not the original is gone. I agree that it would be stupid to destroy the original because of fires and other calamities.

http://remixxworld.blogspot.com/2009/07/cnn-state-of-hawaii-destroyed-president.html
which is then contradicted by the following:

http://remixxworld.blogspot.com/2009/07/cnn-state-of-hawaii-destroyed-president.html

“I am not aware of any birth certificate records that have been destroyed by the department,” Janice Okubo, public information officer for the Hawaii DOH, told WND. “When the department went electronic in 2001, vital records, whether in paper form or any other form, [were] maintained. We don’t destroy records.”

Okubo affirmed that beginning in 2001, all vital records, including birth records, moved to electronic formats.

“Any records that we had in paper or any other form before 2001 are still in file within the department,” she insisted. “We have not destroyed any vital statistics records that we have.”
tiredoftherunaround

This is crazy. CNN is still lying and holding on the story that the former director of Health (Dr. Chiyome Fukino) had seen the “originals” , a story herself later recanted since the BC supposedly was destroyed in 2001 and she said in 2008 or so that she’d seen the original.

“.”CNN’s Gary Tuchman also interviewed the former director of the Hawaii Department of Health who said she has seen the original birth certificate in the vault at the Department of Health.”
