Donald Trump fires back after White House aide declares that he has 'zero chance' to be President
New YorK Daily News ^ | 04/11/2011 | Lukas I. Alpert

The White House stopped just short of dismissing Donald Trump as a clown Sunday - calling him a "sideshow" act with "zero chance" of becoming president.

SNIP

Trump countered that he represents Obama's biggest nightmare in the 2012 race and that the White house is running scared.

"I know for a fact that I am the only candidate they are concerned with," Trump told The Daily News. "They are very concerned because I am challenging him as to whether or not he was born in this country where there is a real doubt."

"He should focus on properly dealing with the Chinese, the Saudis and all of the other nations that are ripping off the United States instead of making up quotes about Donald Trump," the "Apprentice" host blustered on. "Barack Obama has done a terrible job as president."

While Trump is not viewed as having a real chance at winning the presidency, experts say his remarks cut to the core of what irks the White House the most, which explains the hostility behind Plouffe's diss.

"There is no issue that irritates the White House more than the birther issue," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics.

"They view it as a symbol for those who refuse to acknowledge Obama as a legitimate president," he said. "The fact that someone as prominent as Trump is bringing this up is a source of real frustration."

Sabato predicted that despite the noise Trump is making, he would soon fade away.

" Sabato predicted that despite the noise Trump is making, he would soon fade away. "

What kind of language is going from the Chicago Thugs, Obama's people ?

What exactly do they mean " fade away " ?

Is that a open threat from Obama and Obama's people to Donald Trump ?

Not that I believe a thing NBC ever says but the following link leads to the below story.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42519951

As the top Hawaiian official in charge of state health records in 2008, when the issue of Obama’s birth first arose, Fukino said she thought she had put the matter to rest. Contacted by NBC, Fukino expanded on previous public statements and made two key points when asked about Trump’s recent comments.
The first is that the original so-called “long form” birth certificate — described by Hawaiian officials as a “record of live birth” — absolutely exists, located in a bound volume in a file cabinet on the first floor of the state Department of Health. Fukimo said she has personally inspected it — twice. The first time was in late October 2008, during the closing days of the presidential campaign, when the communications director for the state’s then Republican governor, Linda Lingle (who appointed Fukino) asked if she could make a public statement in response to claims then circulating on the Internet that Obama was actually born in Kenya.
Before she would do so, Fukino said, she wanted to inspect the files — and did so, taking with her the state official in charge of vital records. She found the original birth record, properly numbered, half typed and half handwritten, and signed by the doctor who delivered Obama, located in the files. She then put out a public statement asserting to the document’s validity. She later put out another public statement in July 2009 — after reviewing the original birth record a second time.


So is this chick lying? I’m starting to get confused because I believed that Hawaii could not confirm the short form yet the article says that this short form is all you can get. Has anyone heard of this article being refuted?

Perhaps “standing” is Trump’s crescendo.

It would be quite brilliant.

You are correct, but standing only applies to challenging Obama’s candidacy for 2012.

Obama has not yet officially declared himself a candidate.

Sorry Larry, Trump has enough money to make it stay forever if he wants to. Then, after a while, you news whores will run to Trump to get the story since you all want to be the first to break the story.

Trump has the money to make this election painful, not only for Oblunder, but the GOP as well.

That all sounds great, but according to www.ontheissues.org, he supports universal health care, i.e., 0bamaCare.

Anyone heard any recent comments by Trump on this matter?

" Sabato predicted that despite the noise Trump is making, he would soon fade away. "

What does this mean ?

Is Obama's people, and Obama's Chicago Thugs making a open threat to Donald Trump ?

"There is zero chance that Donald Trump would ever be hired by the American people," President Obama's chief adviser David Plouffe told ABC's "This Week with Christiane Amanpour."

******

Plouffe might be right above.

1. But I am sure of one thing, the Ameican people, if they don't hire Trump, will surely grant Trump a very long job interview, and we may even call him back for several more job interviews to make sure that he is or is not the right man for the job.

2. At least we know this: If the American people ask Trump to bring his long form birth certificate to his job interview, Trump would not hesitate to bring it.

3. At this point, I'm sure about voting for Trump, because I believe that he has too much questionable baggage for my taste with him, but from now to election day Nov. 2012 is a very long time, and I am open to Trump's ideas that could chang my mind during the upcoming long 2012 presidential campaign.

4. Go, Donald! Find that elusive Obama long form birth certificate!

5. If this Trump thing is a circus sideshow, then what is the main show?

6. As I see it, if Trump can force Obama to release his long form birth certificate, or if Trump is able to obtain a copy of Obama's long form birth certificate without Obama's help, then this Trump circus "sideshow" will suddenly turn into the explosive and exciting Trump circus "main show", no doubt about it.

Beautiful symmetry:
Zero calling someone else a zero.
Bad heir (Barry not an NBC), bad hair on NBC.
Trump to Barry in January 2013: "Barry. You're fired!"

Scholarship applications (ie, citizenship on the apps),

The more important issue, IMHO.

US law is based on old English law, which states a child inherits the citizenship of the father.

Should the child have access to another country's citizenship through the mother, the child has the right to choose citizenship once that child reaches the 'age of majority' and becomes legally capable of making those decisions.

You can bet your sweet bippy that Sleezeball Barry took the cash for foreign student aid...particularly since he held Indonesian citizenship at the time.

He thinks and fights outside the box
Simply brilliant for Trump to unload on the birth certificate first. It’s an unexpected punch in the face for Obongo and his lackeys who thought they had made it verboten to discuss or be subject to extreme ridicule and bashing. The Donald set himself apart from all other Republican candidates.

Go The Donald go!!

I know for a fact that the false god deity worshipping Obots are really hurting to figure out Trumps next move.

Well here is a message to you guys, its fast approaching, the trumpets of the battle are sounding. Your deity is being chipped away and will soon fall.

You knew all along that there was something “funny” or too good to be true about Obama but you followed the parade of fools just so you could be part of the bigger picture.

Obama cannot fight it anymore, he cannot eliminate people like Trump, Rush, Palin or even Bachman.
