New York (CNN)Donald Trump is standing his ground.

The billionaire businessman was unapologetic -- and as defiant as ever -- about a number of controversies that have inundated his presidential campaign in a wide-ranging interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper that aired on Wednesday and Thursday.

The brash real estate mogul and former host of the reality TV show, "The Apprentice," has come under attack for referring to some immigrants coming into the United States as "rapists." Trump also addressed head-on a Washington Post report that said there were illegal immigrants working at one of Trump's hotel construction sites in Washington. And he said he still isn't totally convinced President Barack Obama was born in this country.

Video at the link. He outed Hillary and McCain as a couple of the original birthers. (lol!)

[SaveFerris]

3, 2, 1, .......

[equaviator]

He (Obama) probably wasn’t even born in a hospital.

[sheikdetailfeather]

I think he was hatched from Hades.

[Sacajaweau]

Donald is just changing the subject.

He knows no one cares at this point...

[VideoDoctor]

Like him or not.. TRUMP is striking some magnificent blows on behalf of the Republic and it’s sane people.

We do know Obama's supposed father was NOT a U.S. Citizen at the time of his birth.

The place of birth controversy has been a well planned distraction from this fact.

Note the reference to Natural Law in the first sentence of our Declaration of Independence.

It is crystal clear that the Founding Fathers used the Natural Law definition of 'natural born Citizen' when they wrote Article II. By invoking "The Laws of Nature and Nature's God" the 56 signers of the Declaration incorporated a legal standard of freedom into the forms of government that would follow.

President John Quincy Adams, writing in 1839, looked back at the founding period and recognized the true meaning of the Declaration's reliance on the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." He observed that the American people's "charter was the Declaration of Independence. Their rights, the natural rights of mankind. Their government, such as should be instituted by the people, under the solemn mutual pledges of perpetual union, founded on the self-evident truth's proclaimed in the Declaration."

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

[sheikdetailfeather]

He knows they are trying to make him look like a wack job so he ensured they know that Hillary and McCain were among the first birthers. He said he was the only one who could get the birth cert and he did not know why Obama did not produce it early on. Nevertheless, he does not know what the he@@ it was that was produced. lol!

[eartick]

those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof

“parents” being the operative word

[Up Yours Marxists]

Where this dirtbag was born? More like where he was SPAWNED.

[MurrietaMadman]

Good stuff. Thanks.

Even though less than a decade ago Trump supported “comprehensive immigration reform “, translate that open borders. I would love to hear the man flap his democrat gums about that and the donations to the Clinton Foundation for a while.

[BobL]

He has. It’s called “pay-to-play”. In NYC, if you want your building permit approved in less than 32 months, you better be making the ‘proper’ political donations - at least at the level he plays at.

He words it a bit different, but it’s PERFECTLY CLEAR what he means.

[Steven Tyler]

How could ANYONE know?
Barry sealed his past via Executive Order, and no one can see them.

What is shown the public are fakes, forgeries, and obvious photo shopped pictures

More people have seen, and reported on, the massive and controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) “free trade” agreement, than have seen Barry’s college records, original birth certificate, selective service registration, passport, social security application.

[Organic Panic]

Personally i don’t think Obama was born in the USA.

That being said, I doubt Obama knows where he was born or who his father was.

[GingisK]

TRUMP!! I hope you have eyes on this site! Drop this issue until AFTER you are elected. Then prosecute the enablers.

[exnavy]

Yeah, what does he mean when he says he supports “comprehensive immigration reform”? He has supported that, stricter gun control, imminent domain, socialized medicene, ... all since Bill Clinton was president.

[Cyclone59]

we still don’t know if he even went to any of the colleges that he claims to have attended. Harvard Law Review editor, yet not even a single writting of when he held that title. Not even a classmate to come forward to support the idea that he even attended the school.

[Godebert]

Yessir. You are correct.
