Donald Trump Has Investigators In Hawaii Hunting For Obama’s Birth Certificate
Recent polls shockingly suggest that Donald Trump‘s recent presidential campaign rhetoric is not just part of a campaign promoting his show Celebrity Apprentice (or…Donald Trump), but rather has led him to be considred a serious contender in the GOP primary. He recently sat down with Today co-host Meredith Vieira in a revealing interview in which he was very critical of President Obama’s foreign policy, and also revealed that he had a team in Hawaii investigating Obama’s birth certificate.

>> recently you spent a lot of time talking about president obama’s birth certificate or lack thereof. you’re convinced he doesn’t have one.
>> no, he doesn’t have one. i’ve had very smart people say, donald, stay on the china issue, saudi arabia issue, stay on india taking our jobs and mexico, nafta, get off the birth certificate issue.
>> why don’t you? because you know what? three weeks before he started i thought he was born in the country and now i have a much bigger doubt. his grandmother in kenya says he was born in kenya and witnessed the birth, okay? he doesn’t have a birth certificate or he hasn’t shone it. he has what’s called certificate of live birth. that’s something that’s easy to get.
>> consider the equivalent.
>> it’s not the equivalent.
>> in the state of hawaii they say they have seen this document, he was born in the united states, that’s good enough for them.
>> a birth certificate is not even close. a certificate of live birth is not even signed by anybody. i saw his. i read it very carefully. it doesn’t have a serial number, doesn’t have a signature. there’s not even a signature.
>> do you think he was lying? come on, just answer.
>> meredith, he spent $2 million in legal fees trying on to get away from this issue, and if he weren’t issue, why would j he just solve it? i wish he would because if he doesn’t, it’s one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in the history, period. you are not allowed to be a president if you’re not born in this country. right now i have real doubts. i have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they’re finding.

>> you have people down there — i mean searching in hawaii? absolutely. they can’t believe what they’re finding. i’d like him to show his birth certificate. can i be honest with you? i hope he can. if he can’t, if he can’t, if he wasn’t born in this country, and i’m not saying it’s a real possibility. but it’s much greater than two or three weeks ago, then he’s pulled one of the greatest cons in the history of politics and beyond.
