I had a feisty 35 minute sit-down with Donald Trump today in which he dug in on the "birther" controversy, answered Club for Growth’s charge that he is a “liberal,” talked about a possible independent run and answered your questions.
But we began with his get tough approach on gas prices:
Trump: Look at what’s going on with your gasoline prices. They’re going to go to $5, $6, $7 and we don’t have anybody in Washington that calls OPEC and says, "Fellas, it’s time. It’s over. You’re not going to do it anymore." I don’t know if you saw yesterday, Saudi Arabia came out and said very strongly there’s plenty of oil. "We’re going to cut back." You know what cutting back means? They’re going to drive up the price even further.
Stephanopoulos: So, what would you do to back up that threat?
Trump: Oh, it’s so easy George. It’s so easy. It’s all about the messenger. They wouldn’t even be there if it wasn’t for us. If it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t be there. These 12 guys sit around a table and they say, "Let’s just screw the United States." And frankly, the rest of the world. …
And Trump was even more specific on what he would do with the Iraq oil fields: seize them.

There’s not a thing that Stephy has to say that I’m in any way interested. This man should be in prison for obstruction of justice, perjury, and suborning perjury from the Clinton years. He’s a worthless, so-called commentator. (blip) I changed the channel.
Molto pazzesco! Trump is not presidential material, and I’m trying to figure out what the Hell he’s trying to accomplish by frothing up the country with this birther stuff.
I’m a birther if the name must be applied, but Trump should stick to that and keep out of public policy discussions. His true colors show, and those colors are not red. More like a purple.
An alleged “Marylander” said;
“Are you telling me that my kids, both born in Maryland, can NOT become President because Maryland doesn’t offer “Birth Certificates”? They ONLY have “Certificate of Live Birth” certificates!”
Frog snot.
They do issue real long form birth certificates here.
I have the short form in a safe in my house and $20 will get me my long form.
Liars, all of them.
I think trump is saying exactly what a lot of people are thinking. I am not a big fan but at least he has a pair, a lot more than can be said for the a-holes in dc.

"The man is crazy!"
Yeah, crazy like a fox.
Better yet Trump agrees with O Reilly on something. He said the world is flooded with an oversupply of oil that is not being used and OPEC just sets the price to anything they want regardless of supply and demand.
Trump is like those middle of the night ‘get rich’ commercials or better yet those ones that offer a daily pill to make certain part of men's body bigger. This snake oil salesman (and a liberal) shows how weak the anti-Obama/anti-Democrat movement is that he even has a following.

What you said.
Just order the Saudis to lower their prices? You’ve got to be kidding me. The only thing that will cause the Saudis to lower their prices is competition.
Drill here, drill now!
He has no solutions. This is all a commerical for an upcoming show called “Political Apprentice”. Trump is a fraud.
"“Are you telling me that my kids, both born in Maryland, can NOT become President because Maryland doesn’t offer “Birth Certificates”?"
It is not about the Birth Certificate, it is about meeting the constitutional requirement to become the POTUS. Do some reading to determine if he is a Natural Born Citizens.
Do not let them fog the issue with demands for the BC, that is the subterfuge to convince people that if he shows the long form all is fine. There are many reasons he does not meet the requirements of eligibility to become the POTUS.
Pretty much.. and don’t forget to eat at Ruth Chris Steakhouse! Your a Great American!
Why do we allow this crook and fraud to spread his twisted heavily edited interviews .
Yeah, but if no one confronts them right there and then when they make the statement, it diverts the argument and fools enough people to sustain the lie just a bit longer.
Trump is so used to picking up a phone and barking out orders to people who kowtow to his every wish. I don’t think this is going to work with foreign leaders, just because he says so.
His ego is out of control.
Just like Ron Paul...
You may be right
he may be crazy
but it just might be a loooonatic we’re looking for
right now.
What a joke he is.
The simple answer: DRILL, BABY, DRILL
In the world today, too much sanity may be madness.
Perhaps what we need is a pure crazy MoFo who will lead the world to the decision that we are not to be f----d with.
