Donald Trump to George Stephanopoulos: You're Co-Opted By Obama Minions!
Things got awfully heated on Good Morning America yesterday as Donald Trump discussed his potential presidential run with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
In short, George took him to task and the Donald didn't appreciate it.
Stephanopoulos mentioned that some Republican heavyweights call him a “flawed messenger for the party” and “a joke candidate.” Why do they think this?
By continuing to question President Obama’s birth certificate and citizenship. Trump replied by ... going off about Obama's citizenship. You gotta see this:
As the two men argued back and forth on the topic, an increasingly agitated Trump accused George of being “co-opted” by the President and his “minions.”
He stressed that the "birther" issue is “not a big focus of my campaign.” Kind of hard to believe, since he brought it up again, and again later in the interview.
Stephanopoulos asked if he would release tax returns. “Maybe I’ll do the tax returns when Obama does his birth certificate,” the real estate mogul replied.

Trump is a tool. He inherited most of his money, and has filed for bankruptcy multiple times in the past when he got in over his head. He hasn't earned an honest dollar in his life. Trump speaks as if he is a Capitalist but his actions paint quite a different picture. We need a strong leader who is accountable for his actions, and has built his wealth and success from the ground up.

Please pardon me, but there is a writer with The Associated Press,
and his Name is Mark Niesse. To make a long story Longer, I will include his (newspaper) article titled: "Birther' Flap" It's No Secret:
Obama's birth info can be viewed at will.
1)Lost in the renewed scrutiny into President Obama's birth record
is the fact that anyone can walk into a Hawaii vital records office,wait in line behind couples getting marriage licenses and open a baby-blue government binder containing basic information about his birth.
2) Highlighted in yellow on page 1,218 of the thick binder is the computer generated listing for a boy named Barack Hussein Obama II
born in Hawaii, surrounded by the alphabetized last names of all other children born in-state between 1960 and 1964. This is the only government birth information, called "index data,"available to the public.
3) So far this month, only The Associated Press and one other person had looked at the binder, according to a sign-in sheet viewed

this is stupid that obama's birth certificate is such a big deal to trump.. personally, i think that's a little intrusive to obama's personal life. if he wasnt a citizen, im sure congress wouldnt let that slide. this is just sad that we cant even support each other as a country

And the band plays on. It's good when the crowd at the racetrack place their money on a potential winning horse, and an absolute letdown when he is beaten by a nose.
Please consider rewinding yesterday's Good Morning America show. Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, one of politic's most verbal Birthers was a guest with George Stephanopoulos. The two flip/flopped about The President's Birthplace. At the end of the interview Michelle Bachmann stated that she was satisfied with the documents that was presented in front of her on GMA. Please do Not take my word for it. Rewind yesterday's morning show and listen to Michelle Bachmann's own words. Donald Trump is all about the big, and bigger and the best. Check out his invitation to David Axelrod about building a 50-100 million dollar ballroom in The White House at No cost to the government. When Trump offered such an expensive gesture, it was about him living in The White House as president to entertain on the scale that benefits

shannon...I tried to look up if a Certificate of Live Birth is the same as a traditional long form birth certificate, like you and I have, with a signature and witness, etc. Before the "birther" movement, there isnt much there. Thats because in Hawaii, anyone can get one. Look that up. Now, the issue is about "natural born citizen." Not location. I could care less if he was born in Utah or Puerto Rico (like John McCain)...his father was a British subject, and so was Obama. Think about this...IS Obama just playing games with the "birthers" and letting them look like fools by NOT releasing what they want to see? If he has it, and is spending two million dollars to keep it a secret, that tells me that he enjoys this. IF he has the long form, like you and I have, and Mr. Trump, with signatures, etc, then why not release it and say "now what bitches, fuck yeah!" Because then they'd shut up, assuming its real. But this thing is a secretive as Obama (who has never released PROOF th

There is Nothing like accusing one party of something to keep their mind off your shortcomings. The Trumpser Needs to go back to work on Celebrity Apprentice and fire someone,he is becoming obsessed
with Obama and it is not a pretty sight. Every time that he and his flair for hair appear on TV,his credibility as a New and Improved Politician becomes the "blooper" of the day!!

I think Donald is grasping at straws. If Obama's birth certificate is all Trump has to go, then he needs to reconsider running.

Once again Donald is embarassing himself. His public feuds only make him less attractive as a possible political candidate and more importantly as a rational human being. I am disgusted with his behaviour and conduct with
George from gma. He was errogant, rude and just a big bully! Do you want a bully to run your country? With vengence as his top priority. Get over it Donald ! There is more to being a success then money! Maybe you could use your money to buy a personality. And your minions are a gang of bullies... I'll take obama's intellectional minions over yours anyday!!! Remember he was voted in to his status you bought your way!!!! Get a grip, stick with bullying celebrities on tv it's much more entertaining!
