Donald Trump On Obama’s Long Form Birth Certificate: ‘I Hope Its True’

 

The White House released Barack Obama‘s birth certificate earlier today sending the opinion media news all atwitter. Who did the cable news channels go to for the initial reaction? None other than presumptive GOP presidential front runner Donald Trump, who has made this a tiny bit of an issue in the last few weeks. Trump made the following comments covered live on all cable news outlets as America waited for the president to address the nation over a fake story.

Trump took the position of pride and honor that he was able to accomplish what no one yet has been able to do, ostensibly get the White House, or more to the point, President Obama to request a waiver for Hawaii to release the long form birth certificate.
