So, now that this issue is settled when is "The Donald" planning to release the autopsy report on the thing that died on his head?

I sincerely hope it doesn't go as far as with Palin. I'm not too keen to see the newest from Private- Donald Hump: Washington DP *Shivers*

Frankly, I'm not even sure if the goalposts have moved, after perusing most "birther" websites. They're inclined to think the Obama long form birth certificate is a Photoshopped fake or some sort of after the fact mockup at this point.

Most conspiracy theorists aren't interested in contrary evidence. Like the old X-Files movie tagline, it really comes down to I WANT to believe (or not believe). Facts don't enter into it.

LOL... heck, it's probably gone UP based on some of the logic I've seen from those guys.

More fun.

Obama commented on it apparently.
And.. if i not mistaken, i think he just called Trump an "carnival barker".

Honestly, i think the whole birth issue, is veiled or coded racism. If he was a white guy, nobody would question his citizenship.

Trump is a self serving and self promoting. I'm guessing he is bored with 'The Apprentice' and needed to fill the time. He is nothing but a distraction.

Bilge_Rat · 04-27-11, 08:15 PM

looks fishy...it was recorded 4 days after he was born...more than enough time to fly him in from kenya...

Ducimus · 04-27-11, 08:16 PM

I have to add, the top headline at cnn.com, should NOT be "Trump: I have done a great service".

Great, now hes going to short stroke this idiocy. You know.. he's not doing team R any great favors. All he's doing, is making them look even nuttier, and increasing the odds Obama gets reelected, which is precisely what they don't want, but they just can't quite gag the craziest of wingnuts.

Torplexed · 04-27-11, 08:27 PM

I'm inclined to see as this as shameless self-promotion as I can't really see Donald Trump as any sort of serious presidential contender. Once you get him off the friendly talk shows and corner him on some subject he isn't educated on, he quickly gets rather peevish. When you bring up a ripped off creditor or anyone left holding the bag from one of his failed business schemes, he becomes outright hostile.

I don't think its veiled or coded at all. You are 100% right, if he wasn't highly pigmented we would not be having this discussion.

This is all an excuse to get the Team R drones to have something to rally on and not pay attention to the screwed up mess that both parties have created.

That's the consequence of approaching an issue with a closed mind, you'll continue to believe what you want to believe despite the evidence.
