Donald Trump Responds (Slams NYT Columnist Gail Collins)
NYTimes ^

Posted on 04/09/2011 2:31:20 AM PDT by quesney

Re “Donald Trump Gets Weirder,” by Gail Collins (column, April 2):

Even before Gail Collins was with the New York Times, she has written nasty and derogatory articles about me. Actually, I have great respect for Ms. Collins in that she has survived so long with so little talent. Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers) is not at a high level. More importantly, her facts are wrong!

...I don't need Ms. Collins's advice. There is a large segment of our society who believe Barack Obama, indeed, was not born in the United States. His grandmother from Kenya stated, on tape, that he was born in Kenya and she was there to watch the birth. His family in Honolulu is fighting over which hospital in Hawaii he was born in-they just don't know.

He has not been able to produce a “birth certificate” -merely a totally unsigned “certificate of live birth”-which is of very little significance. Unlike a birth certificate, a certificate of live birth is very easy to obtain. Equally of importance, there are no records in Hawaii that a Barack Hussein Obama was born there-no bills, no doctors names, no nurses names, no registrations, no payments, etc. As far as the two notices placed in newspapers, some feel the grandparents put an ad in order to show that he was a citizen of the U.S. with all of the benefits. Everybody, after all, and especially then, wanted to be a citizen.

[...]

For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen.

[...]

Open your eyes, Gail, there's at least a good chance that Barack Hussein Obama has made mincemeat out of our great and cherished Constitution!

Trump assumes that if a real reporter actually did the work of a reporter and took down Obama they’d be be the next Woodward/Bernstein.

That’s only if you take down a Republican president.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Whow! You got me there! Guess you win that debate.

Hope your candidate (whoever he or she is) is not as simplistic as that. They do say, show me your candidate and I'll show you your IQ. Hopefully we don't share the same one. I almost have an idea who it is too. If it is the same one I'm thinking, I supported that candidate and that candidate's supporters accused me of being a "basher of that candidate" when I was actually a supporter! I can feel it... I know who your candidate just by your response.

Trumps letter as published:

Even before Gail Collins was with the New York Times, she has written nasty and derogatory articles about me. Actually, I have great respect for Ms. Collins in that she has survived so long with so little talent. Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers), is not at a very high level. More importantly, her facts are wrong!

As far as her comments on the so-called “birther” issue, I don’t need Ms. Collins’s advice. There is a very large segment of our society who believe that Barack Obama, indeed, was not born in the United States. His grandmother from Kenya stated, on tape, that he was born in Kenya and she was there to watch the birth. His family in Honolulu is fighting over which hospital in Hawaii he was born in-they just don’t know.

He has not been able to produce a “birth certificate” but merely a totally unsigned “certificate of live birth”-which is totally different and of very little significance. Unlike a birth certificate, a certificate of live birth is very easy to obtain. Equally of importance, there are no records in Hawaii that a Barack Hussein Obama was born there-no bills, no doctors names, no nurses names, no registrations, no payments, etc. As far as the two notices placed in newspapers, many things could have happened, but some feel the grandparents put an ad in order to show that he was a citizen of the U.S. with all of the benefits thereto. Everybody, after all, and especially then, wanted to be a United States citizen.

The term used by Ms. Collins-“birther”-is very derogatory and is meant in a derogatory way. Had this been George Bush or almost any other President or Presidential aspirant, they would never have been allowed to attain office, or would have been thrown out of office very quickly.

For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen. What they don’t realize is that if he was not born in the United States, they would have uncovered the greatest “scam” in the history of our country. In other words, they would become the hottest writer since Watergate, or beyond.

Open your eyes, Gail, there’s at least a good chance that Barack Hussein Obama has made mincemeat out of our great and cherished Constitution!

GAIL COLLINS (dumbass) still is stumbling-—>>

THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE If only Hawaii made its birth records public, and charged people a thousand dollars a pop to look at them, the state’s budget problems would be solved by the conspiracy theorists. However, it doesn’t. If you were born in Hawaii and request a copy of your birth certificate, you get a certification of live birth, which the federal government accepts for passports. Barack Obama requested his in 2007, and his campaign posted it on the Internet.

“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. It doesn’t have a signature,” said Trump on “Today.”

The document has the stamped signature of the state registrar. The University of Pennsylvania’s FactCheck.org made a pilgrimage to the Obama campaign headquarters, examined the document, felt the seal, checked the serial number and reported that it looked fine.

Who said we were debating? I don't owe you a debate just because you chime in. I can give you a flick and forget about you if I want.

As for candidates, it's hard to have a candidate when no one has declared. Out of all the potential candidates, I like Mitch Daniels the best(which of course means he has no shot.)

Trump is entertaining. He's a hell of a confidence man. We'll all see how his flirtation with high office turns out.

It’s nice to finally see someone in public life that expresses themselves with no fear of the consequences.
This is how people used to be, before the media age. No fear of how their ideas, thoughts and expressions would be interpreted by anyone else. This is nothing but a pure expression of freedom.

I still think he’s doing this to plow the road for Hillary but I love it.

And hopefully you're not the same “Huck” I use to work with when we worked the political newsgroups together on WebTV back during the 2000 Election for W.

I doubt it. He was much more sophisticated. His replies had substance. Not name calling. Anyways, it's a shame that your candidate's supporters actually marginalize themselves pushing each other off the ship for giving the slightest criticism meant to help not hurt that candidate.

They just swim to another GOP candidate like several people here and in USENET already have.

I saw MSNBC yesterday and one of the clowns said “this” is proof he was born here.....this is his birth certificate, all the while holding up an ipad with a picture of the COLB.

The day it is one thing when it is actually another....who watches that crap?

My brother-in-law got me the talking Donald doll several years back. It was one of the great gifts of all-time. We have fun using him as an oracle.

The doll is like the old talking GI Joe I had as a kid, except it's Trump in a blue suit. Press the button and he says things like "You really think you're a good leader? I don't", "Go with your gut instinct", and of course, "You're fired."
