Wow! So little Georgie has proven he can at least ATTEMPT to ask the tough questions, unfortunately for him hit a brick wall.
Georgie, it would be nice if you were as aggressive with Obama; that’s right you’re in the tank for him.
The media is trying to smear Trump to make it sound like this is his only issue. WRONG . Trump is the ONLY candidate with the balls and integrity to raise the issue. Trump is not on Murdoch’s payroll. Fox News is attacking Trump more than Obama these days. One of the Fox News puppets compared Trump to Napoleon the other night.
I agree.
For too long the media sets the agenda by demonizing one side of an issue while protecting the other.
That’s how you deal with liberal reporters — get in their face and make them play defense. It’s just like in boxing where you gain advantage by forcing your opponent to fight while they’re backing up.
Transcript:
Stephanopoulos: You say it’s all about the messenger. A lot of Republicans think you’re a flawed messenger for the party. Karl Rove, again over the weekend, saying you’re a joke candidate, if you continue to raise questions about President Obama’s citizenship.
Trump: There’s a real question about the birth certificate. There’s a real question about the— his own— his own citizenship.
Stephanopoulos: There— there is— there is no question.
Trump: But— but let me just say—
(OVERTALK)
Stephanopoulos: He’s got a certificate of live birth that is recognized by the State Department.
Trump: George, George.
(OVERTALK)
Trump: George, I know exactly what you’re getting at.
Stephanopoulos: The facts.
(OVERTALK)
Trump: But for some reason— no, they’re not the facts. He doesn’t have a birth certificate or he hasn’t provided. He’s given a certificate of live birth. It’s a much different instrument.
Stephanopoulos: A certificate of live birth meets the standard in the State Department—
(OVERTALK)
Trump: Not the same.
Stephanopoulos: —for any one citizenship.
Trump: George.
Stephanopoulos: There were contemporaneous reports in—
(OVERTALK)
Trump: George, they have co-opted you.
...
Stephanopoulos: You said that you sent investigators to Hawaii and you said quote, “They cannot believe what they’re finding.”
(OVERTALK)
Trump: We’re going to see what happens, George.
Stephanopoulos: What have they found?
Trump: We’re going to see what— that’s none of your business right now. We’re going to see what happens.
Trump told me the birther controversy is not his “main issue” and said he “hopes” Obama has his birth certificate. But this issue is one reason Trump may be sky-rocketing to the top of national polls and is now interviewing candidates for campaign manager, such as Ralph Reed, formerly of the Christian Coalition.
“I’m looking at the poll numbers. I see what’s happening with this country. This country is in such trouble,” he told me.
So what are the odds he’ll run?
“Well, I don’t want to say odds. I don’t want to put myself in that position I don’t want to put you in that position. But I will tell you, I love this country. I hate what’s happening to it and you may very well be surprised,” he told me.
I think Trump is far too tall to be Napoleon. Besids, ego wise Napoleon was a piker compared to Trump!
That’s how it’s done, you GOP pussies.
I totaly agree with you. Anyone that can make a liberal uncomfortable is a friend of mine. Trump’s poking them in the eye with a stick and I like it.
Thanks. I just don’t see Trump wanting to be POTUS (huge pay cut as Rush says), but seeing what is happening to our country, he is NOT the bit to happy about it (could you just imagine how much money he lost in his real estate world?).
Regarding his contributions to DEMONcrats......if he stopped, someone would suspect something suspicious.
It seems our world is so upside down, right is wrong and topsy turvy that ANYTHING is possible.
Sarah says she prays for guidance. Perhaps He is stepping in after all. The Bible does state in the end of times He will be “stepping in”.
Hopefully, America has confessed our sins for “sleeping” (awoke the sleeping giant) so that He may give us another chance.
I am not on the Trump bandwagon, but he is right on target: the LameStream Media is in the tank BIG TIME for Hussein.
I thought Perot was pretty great too, for a long time. Built EDP from nothing. Got his people out of Iran in a meticulously-planned mission. Made himself a fortune by honest hard work.
But then he turned into a loose cannon and saw to it that America had to suffer through eight years of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
After that, I didn't think Perot was so great any more.
If Trump turns out to be the real deal, if Trump runs for President as a Republican, and wins, I'll be cheering. If he runs for the nomination, doesn't get it, and then puts his efforts into helping the nominee defeat Obama, who he (Trump) is already on record as calling "the worst president in American history," I'll cheer for him then too.
But I think he's going to pull a Perot act, and give Obama another term. I sure hope I'm wrong. My heart wants to root for him. My brain says 'not so fast.'
Well said.
Love it. Trump is not going to let go. He has no fear and nothing to lose by speaking and seeking the truth.
Stepinpoopalot gets Trumped.
The hits just keep on coming.
I still believe Trump is knocking down the “dirty doors” for Sarah’s nom.
I pray daily that is what is going on. It kind of makes sense. Trump must hate what Obama is doing to our country and has probably lost a ton of money because of his insane policies. By saying he may run he is guaranteed all the press coverage he wants and then some. He uses that time to expose all of Obama’s lies and deceptions. There is no way that Sarah could do what Trump is doing right now, though I’m sure she knows it needs doing. She would be ignored and ridiculed and she is in a more fragile position than Trump. I pray that they have conspired to bring this madness to an end and that this will not somehow work to Obama’s advantage. I do think that there is an awful lot of praying going on these days and that God works in mysterious ways.
You haven’t been listening to Sarah.
Hey --- no fair to smokers. ;^)
Who knows about Trump’s politics... but to see a member of the mainstream media get HANDLED like that. AWESOME.
Politicians take notes, this is how it is done.
Good reply to someone who does not trust Trump.
As if he had done a business deal with Trump and had a bad experience. I bet he trusts some “other” candidate even though he has not done any business deal with her/him either.
