(CNN) - Donald Trump should quit questioning President Obama's birthplace, says Tim Pawlenty, a potential future opponent of Trump's for the Republican presidential nomination.
Appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Pawlenty said he doesn't doubt Obama was, in fact, born in Hawaii and says members of his party should stop pushing the issue.
"I, for one, do not believe we should be raising that issue," the ex-Minnesota governor said. "I think President Obama was born in the United States."
As for his thoughts on a seemingly improbable Trump presidential candidacy, Pawlently said, "I think he's talented. I think he's funny. I think he's interesting."
The comments come a day after Trump pushed the issue farther down the road, telling Fox News he is "really concerned" the president was not born in the United States.
"All of the sudden a lot of facts are emerging, and I am starting to wonder myself whether he was born in this country," he said.
Trump followed those comments up by releasing what he said was his own birth certificate to the conservative website Newsmax.com. The certificate Trump released however is not an official one, according to Politico.
It should be noted that CNN and other news organizations have thoroughly debunked the rumors about the president's birthplace. Hawaii has released a copy of the president's birth certificate - officially called a "certificate of live birth" - and the hospital where he was born took out ads in two Hawaiian newspapers in 1961 announcing the birth.

Pawlenty is risking losing tea party support with this statement.
All three of my children – born at the same hospital in a major West Coast city – were issued Certificates of Live Birth.
That's all you get from our state at no charge, unless you want to pay for the fancy one (suitable for framing, etc., etc.) which, last time I checked, cost $50.
There's no official need for anything else, since it's issued by the state.
These birthers – and Mr. Hair Himself – need to get a life!
TO CNN:
The following is an excerpt from the article written by your own staff, Alexander Mooney. That being so, why does CNN continue to give media coverage to this birther issue.
"It should be noted that CNN and other news organizations have thoroughly debunked the rumors about the president's birthplace.'
T-Paw makes a very good point, Donald. Let it go. Worry about having natural hair implants that will give you credibility! Seriously – his hair is a huge distraction! How can you take this guy serious when he is in love with himself and his accomplishments. Now pandering to the birthers? Puleeze go away Donald.
Enough !! Cancel his show. Make him change his ties !!!!
Well, give Palwenty a few points for being sane, at least. That's not common in his party anymore.
Hey, why can't Donald Trump finish a book? He keeps hitting chapter eleven and having to start over!
Here we go folks! The republicans, as usual tackling the exciting issues that are at the heart of our country right now! Pawlenty has no solutions and the other republicans dont as well, every time they open there mouth its nothing that matters. Do they even know whats happening right now? Hey T-Paw! Do you know whats happening in japan or libya right now? No? Yeah dont tackle the big subjects. I wouldnt say anything if I thought libya was a soft drink either.
Uh-oh!
Dissention in the ranks?
(That's IF Trump is really a Republican. THAT is really worth an investigation!)
BD
If we go with the premise that the Hawaii ads are fudged, then it's really hard to convince anyone anything. Anything can be faked these days, from passports to social securities. Hard however to fake an ad in a newspaper going back many years, released from their original archives. I would trust that more than Trump's unofficial birth certificate. But then, Trump is a ego-maniac who likes the sound of his own voice. Imagine him asking everyone in a board-room.. "If you were me, who would you bomb?", and "Hu-Jin Tao, it's too late... you're fired"... !!!
Thank you Mr. Pawlenty – finally a reasonable candidate emerges
Pawlenty will kiss anyone's ass. He also courts the tea party, moderates and anyone else that he thinks can get his DULL behind elected!
Broken clocks are right twice a day. It appears we just witnessed Polenta's moment.
Uh-oh...Independent Thought Alert! Pawlenty is trying to single himself out as rational and reasonable in a crowd of hyperbolic idea-less-logues. Sorta cute and endearing. And...grown up.
I think any sane Republican will speak against this birther stuff. Oh, sorry, there really are no sane Republicans out there. Only a bunch of bobble heads who do the bidding of their masters. How I wish these bobble heads started to realize that all their protestations are against their own interests.
Republicans – emotions over intellect
Democrats – intellect over emotions
Does Pawlenty have hospital records or something that shows Obummie's mother's admission to the hospital and Obummie's subsequent birth? He must have something the rest of us don't have.
Trump is "really concerned".? Who gives a damn what he is concerned about.
It is funny because neither of the two "potential" candidates realize that (regardless of which side of this you choose) this issue is like having a $100 pound weight tied to you while you are trying to swim in the ocean. you are only going to sink. From my vantage point, that is a good think because although Trump is a smart business man, he is dumb to go down this road. Pawlenty, well he is good looking and charismatic but I am not sure he has what it takes to get elected as people will be saying, Pawlenty Who??
Maybe Tim has figured out that Trump is reinforcing the image of birthers as Republicans in tin-foil hats. That image cannot be good for the party.
Someone who doesn't want to be convinced, can never be convinced; no matter what info. is provided, they WANT to believe want they believe.
There's still hope for the Repubs if they nominate Pawlenty, or one of the other sane (Romney, Daniels, Huntsman) candidates. However, as a moderate Democrat, I'm hoping that they'll nominate one of their unhinged, or worse candidates like Newt, Hickabee, Barbour, Palin, Trump, or Bachmann.
The movie Men In Black conclusively proved that New Gingrich is not of this planet-which certainly explains a lot.
My God! The man said something sensible? Where is the jobs palenty? No jobs yet? You better call your boss Bohner,ask him what he,s doing,please? Where is your promises? Tell that to the Press.
Well at least Paws said something that makes sense.....hey Mr. Combover, where's YOUR birth certificate? That paper you provided is missing a few rather important items..the DOH seal and a signature. YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT.
Palin, Trump, Gingrich and Bauchmann might be the single worst group of canadiates i have ever seen. I wouldn't trust these people to manage my fantasy baseball team, much less manage the leader of the free nation. This is really pathetic, and if ANY of these canadiates actually won i would move out of the United States.
Wow........Tim finally said something smart.
Let's think about how Obama could stop the Birthers cold in their tracks.... hmmm... it's coming to me.... wait for it.... OH I'VE GOT IT!
SHOW YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE!
The circus is yet to begin! GOP contenders to be seem all to be entertainers!
Good for Pawlenty. Bad and stupid for Trump. Can America slide any further down into the underworld?
I think birthers make the republican party look bad.
it doesnt matter how much proof of something you have. its not about the truth, its about trying to tear someone down. if lying about somethng will help your cause, some folks see no problem. Of COURSE the republicans know the President was born in Hawaii.. it just serves thier purposes to nurture a bit of doubt about it in order to lead the masses to where they want them to go.
To all those to the left of the far right of the political spectrum that would consider voting for Pawlenty for President should he get the Republican nomination. This is the furthest left Pawlenty will get. Acknowledging that President Obama was born in the US. He is a smooth talker and can make it appear he is a moderate. His record shows otherwise. Please, please, please, research his policies as Governor of MN. Especially his first term. Thanks!
I am no fan of T-Paw, but he is right. The whole birther arguement has been Debunked, and anyone who doesn't believe it has been Debunked will never believe it. My best wishes go out to T-Paws child.
The answer is simple. OBAMA, JUST SHOW US YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!! is that too much to ask? no birth certificate, no school records, etc... just what is this guy hiding?? GO TRUMP, you may be gruff....but too the point and we need more straight talk in politics... Pawlenty is campaining already. Stir is up Donald!!
I have always respected Trump as an astute businessman. Now I see him as a man who will whore himself out to achieve any goal and I believe millions of Americans now see him the same way. Sad.
51% of Republican's voters for the primary claim they don't think Obama was born in the US and sadly that is a large part of the right wing base, thus you are going to have some people like Trump pander to it. The GOP as a whole could end this stupid issue, heck even Karl Rove says that it makes the party look stupid, but they won't because they fear it might turn the loonies away and they want their votes. When you have little to run on like the jobs you created or other things in the economy the only other option is doing what the GOP does best.....use fear and mis-information. So be prepared for more "he's not one of us" junk for 2012. You notice too that when these folks talk on FoxNews about this, the hosts there do very little to dispute them.
Trump is a clown.
Man, I cannot wait for the 2012 election cycle to formally begin. Republicans are awesome comedians.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
It is good to see Pawlenty standing up for truth and sanity – but what is he going to do without the support of the Tea Party? The ignoranti will never accept President Obama's legitimacy.
Tea Party won't like that.
Trump is an idiot.....i question if he was born in the US......the State of Hawaii and their governor both certified that Obama was born there....that is good enough for me......if that is all Trump has to run on....he is going no where.
Trump and anyone else has the right to question the birth of anyone or say they believe or do not believe it so back off on people that say what they think
What is the cause of the hypocrisy with Obama's birthplace? This came up during the 2008 presidential race but it seems that although the evidence is clear that President Obama was in fact born in Hawaii which was and is a state of the United States. His opponent, John McCain was born in Panama. Now he was born in a navy hospital in what was considered a US territory but he was not born in any state of the United States. He was born in the US on a technicality. Why was/is this never mentioned by the "left leaning media" when this nonissue comes up?
Tim P will never be president. Few will vote for a man who vouches for what he does not, and cannot, KNOW. Fact is, the "hospital" did no such thing. Not even Obama knows where he was born. His parents and grandparents, in particular his mother, are not here to tell us, and if anyone else does know, he or she would be cold by the end of the week if he or she dared to speak.
I feel CNN should put out the information of President Obama's "certificate of live birth"because there are a lot of people that don't believe. The public should be informed that there is not conspiracy...
All Obama has to do is produce his birth certificate and stop all the controversy. Why does he refure to do so.
That kind of rational thinking just won"t fly witth the neo-con hoards, but I will get him my vote if he keeps it up!
I am no fan of Pawlenty, but it is refreshing to see a Republican who disavows the insanity that is the birther movement.
Joe, Pawlenty is saying this now, but if he were to win the Republician Nomination he would be saying something diferent. He would be saying the American People want to see a "Birth Certificate".
This goes to show me that Joe Pawlenty is not fit to be President. According to the way I read the article it was telling me that Joe Pawlenty believes that Obama was born in Hawaii. Joe Pawlenty doesn't a prayer to not only win the Republician Nomination but he doesn't have a prayer to become President. He's not strong enough.
Yep and we landed on the moon too!
Timmy, you are not going to pass the purity test with 15% of your party.
Trump is in for free publicity-he should stick to selling snake oil
It is all drama.....just watch and enjoy!!!!! But when you vote for these idiots, just remember....
Ah, the GOP – the gift that keeps on giving.
Will not win the primary talkin like that.
What is this? Someone is trying to seperate himself from the Rabid Repubs. Good move Gov.
I saw Pawlenty on Morning Joe, and thought finally a Republican has the guts to speak up and tell the truth. So unlike Michelle Bachman who wouldn't give a straight answer (not that she has the brains to even answer a question) when G. Stephanopulos practically nailed her to the wall. Trump, Bachman, and all the rest of the racist birthers don't deserve the time of day.
It's beginning to look like Pawlenty will be the only viable candidate to take on Obama in 2012. Huntsman would be a better prez but is far too unknown by the masses to make a dent. The rest are too kooky or else have too much baggage.
I just wondering how many times Trump was on Fox News before this presidential run thing. It appears Fox has an open door policy to anyone who is willing to criticize Obama.
Next up - Joe the plumber is giving insight on the ten ways Obama budget will harm the trade relations with Germany.
"the hospital where he was born took out ads in two Hawaiian newspapers in 1961 announcing the birth."
__
No. They were birth announcements based on information from the Hawaii Department of Health, not advertisements taken out by the hospital.
If you wish to inform the public, please get your facts straight.
This is the only thing I will agree with Pawlenty on...Trump needs to give it up. Now let us question Trump's birth certificate-Jamaica Hospital--can he verify that it was not in the US cause most of us can assume where Jamaica is-and that is outside the US.
And lastly--shouldn't this have been an issue way back when he served in Congress. Enough already..........................
score 1 for Pawlenty.. Trump, you FAILand apparently are not eligible to be President.
Can't believe I am saying this, but I agree with Pawlenty.
What! A repug being objective, this must be a trick, a repug using common sence and not being bias is extremely rare, if the repugs could look beyond obama's skin color and start acting and thinking rationally, they might see that Pawlenty and santrum are the only two viable candidate they have, the rest are too deeply ideologistic, and wont compromise their far right policies, to have a chance against Obama in the general election.
Trump himself doesn't marry American and does business all over the World and yes, he has borrowed taxpayers money from banks to gain his wealth as many real estate investors do, they don't use their own money.
Could this be the only potential Republican Presidential candidate that won't sell his soul for a few votes? Good for him. I will listen more carefully to what he has to say on other subjects.
Trump would make a great president. He would claim the country was one of his companies and declare it bankrupt. Debt problem solved. He does it time and time again.
Trump is desperately trying to appear political. He's a shrewd businessman, and knows what the truth is, but he also knows that his stuborness gets him publicity. I doubt if he really thinks he is a serious contender, he just likes to inflate his ego. I am surprised that he would take the chance of being labeled an ignorant person who happens to be a billionaire.
Thanks for defending the president, but you will get No brownie points from me buddy. Is anybody questions Trump's where-abouts. I'm not sure where he was born with that hang over hair style.
I really thought that Donald Trump might add some positive discussions to the mix as he has talked about running for President. And now, THIS is what he brings to the table? Really? Seriously? Honestly? You're kidding me? THIS is the type of positive President that Trump would be to our country? I'm really disappointed in him.
The in fighting has begun. Now Trump will fire back at Pawlenty. On and on and on, it just never ends. Never mind that neither of the two will ever be President.
I had high hopes for Pawlenty, come to find out he's just another WIMP when it comes to the Usurper. Donald is looking better and better. At least he's not afraid to speak his mind and not worry about being PC.Michele B needs to take Pawlenty out behind the shed and give him a good spanking.
wow...a sane comment from someone on the right??? say it isn't so! michele bachmann will have tim's head for this!
"The certificate Trump released however is not an official one"
Gee, isn't that why people keep doubting Obama's? DONALD TRUMP WASN'T BORN IN AMERICA!!!!! Oh wait... no, we can't think that for no reason.. after all... he is white and has a normal name.. unlike obama.
With the state of education in this country due to cutbacks, I wonder how many citizens know Hawaii is a state. I know many ask why my son lives in a foreign country – New Mexico and I have had students who think Alaska floats in the Pacific above Hawaii due to the depictions on weather maps in the newspaper.
Simply put, show the REAL birth certificate and move on, but NOPE he is hiding something from us, perhaps the religion noted on the REAL certificate, the race noted or maybe just a Mommy and NO Daddy noted.
He WAS born here and I really care more about the way he is ruining the country and the way the media lies and covers for him.
Alright, who are we bombing next THAT IS ONLY for oil and is NO threat without authorization from Congress?
Bueller, Bueller, anyone?
"the Donald" let me see your qualifications to be prez.
I want all the names of the names of the attending nurses and doctors to swear that they were present.
Interesting that the donald wants nurses and doctors names, than calls people a liar when family members say they remember Obama;'s birth.
The Don is completely within his rights of free speech. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to stamp it out. All his points have been well made, and most certainly he is right in his assertions. Every modern president should be required to produce a birth certificate and publish his full resume including school records. The job of POTUS should not be a popularity contest based on rhetoric. Each candidate is applying for the most powerful job in the World and we the people have a responsibility to interview each applicant based on all the facts.
Pawlenty must have donned his *moderate* hat for his appearance on Morning Joe. Wonder if he has a personal dresser to help maintain those much needed *political hats* of his: *moderate* when mugging for MSNBC, *conservative* when mugging for CNN, and *TeaParty* when mugging for FOX. Going to be a long, long campaign for Tim. Considering his extensive absences in Minnesota during his 8 year Governorship, I seriously doubt Pawlenty has what it takes to keep a campaign going . . . let alone a four year Presidency. Seriously, the guy lacks substance . . . no matter what crowd pleasing hat of the day he wears.
At last, a Republican with some common sense! After all, Obama's mother was American, so he's American regardless of where he was born!
To paraphrase INS rules.
Birthright
Any person born on U.S. soil regardless of parental status (such as an illegal immigrant parent) is automatically an U.S. citizen. All persons born to either an American mother or father outside of the United States are also automatically a U.S. citizen as well.
The irony is that the same set of rules that gives citizenship to US born children of illegal immigrants also gives citizenship to children of at least one US citizen parent even if born outside the USA.
Back to Pawlenty, I'll bet he can also pass the US citizenship test that most Americans fail. We should give it to everyone who wants to vote, if you don't pass, you don't vote.
Good for Pawlenty. I am not an R but this nation would be better served if the Republican's party offer up serious canidates. It will take a two party process to fix this mess. The Donald, Palin and Bachman are all side shows to a poorly performing Republican party. Enough of the entenament and lets get on with the difficult work this nation faces. As an American expect better from them. Stop the celebrity side shows please.
A GOPer with a brain. Must have made a mistake and went with the wrong party.
Thank God. It's nice to have a Minnesotan talking like they have some sense after listening to Michelle Bachmann talk like an idiot.
Don't like him, wouldn't vote for him. But give Pawlenty props.
The ISSUE here is NOT where the President was born and is he a Citizen! The ISSUE is, what plans to the GOP Presidential field have to move this country forward?
So far, the answer is, The GOP DO NOT have plans. All they want to do is attack the progress that hs been made.
Hey tPaw, Trump is just throwing the rubes a little red meat – just before he goes backstage and laughs his butt off at the stupidity and the gullibility of a segment of this population. He doesn't believe the birther tripe, he's playing to the bottom feeders and garnering publicity that he needs to fuel his oversized ego. Anyone still believing the birther nonsense, just doesn't have the sense they were born with, they're choosing to remain wilfully ignorant. Too bad the fools don't realize that they're the butt of the politicians votes, they're easy prey.
Somebody call PETA, Trump and other birthers are beating a dead horse!
"The certificate Trump released however is not an official one, according to Politico."
So... is Donald Trump an American? Can he prove he was born here and qualified for elected office? Idiot...
Trump just can't get enough of himself in the spotlight. Thank you Mr. Pawlenty for speaking out.Aren't there enough SERIOUS issues facing this country to tend too, Mr. Trump?
Here's a thought! How about all the millionaires planning to contribute to the multiple political/presidential campaigns instead make that contribution to a worthwhile agency that is struggling because of the failed economy?
Let's be honest here. Repub Americans do not like the fact that a black man and his family are living in the White House. (I am white). Repubs will not accept who our country really is. We are the folks you saw standing in Grant Park on election night 2008. Repubs do all they can to appeal to the racist whites in our country. They are totally disgusting.
This isn't about facts. This is about hate and you cannot convince people to abandon their hate with facts. Even I were to build a time machine and take these idiots back and let them witness Obama's birth in Hawaii first hand they would still not believe it. They and Fox News would simply say that I had built a "Liberal" time machine and that I had changed history. Obama is right to not address this anymore. It is pointless.
Even as a democrat, I actually liked a lot of what trump said about China etc,
but I never thought trump would go that low and go into this "Is Obama from here" issue.
I cant imagine that he's that dumb – so it can only means he's taking that low road.
What a shame. HE didnt even needed that to get people on his side.
Now he just alienated himself for a lot of people, and discredited himself in a big way.
Ok, Pawlenty is running for President. The first one to come out and not brown nose the birthers and the racest part of the Tea Party.
He's right get off it. It just gives the Demonuts something to rally around and distracts from the objective of unseating Obama.
I'd still never vote for him but he just gained a little respect in my eyes.
Give me Trump over Pawlenty, any time.
Wow, a GOPer talking sense? Who wadda thunk it?
BTW, anyone notice that the left column of CNN Political Blog is all pics/articles of far right-wingers (Trump, McCain, Palin (twice), Bachmann and Gingrich). What is that about?
Politico is now saying that this is a Certificate of Live Birth and not an official Birth Certificate, so Trump can't run for President. Liberal, thy name is hypocrite.
Trump is a genius. He is not going to run yet he is getting enough press for people to watch his tv show. Free advertising.
Ah, a Republican with at least some good sense. I salute you Mr Pawlenty. I won;t vote for you, but at least, in this one shining moment, you have spoken up for truth and justice.
Pawlenty is a smart man, if mccain should pick him and not the knitwit from alaska McCain would of been the president today..
I am gald he picked the Wasila idiot..
Let's see... he posted a birth certificate that wasn't official... his mother was a Scottish citizen... oh my gosh! Donald Trump is a trust fund anchor baby!
A voice of relative reason....Trump should listen. Trump's arguments that classmates don't remember Obama from kindergarten (when he moved at the end of the year) is absurd. Trump may actually be more clueless than Palin.
But don't you understand?? Obama's supposed birth in Hawaii in 1961 was all a hoax perpetrated on the American people by Muslim fanatics at that time to make sure that Barack Obama could be elected President of the United States in 2009!! This makes absolute, perfect sense so why do you question those that question Obama's birth place??
Pawlenty probably doesn't care about the truth, only about protecting the game the Democrats and Republicans play for their puppet masters.
Hey Pawlenty GET A CLUE! NOBODY in the GOP is "pushing the issue". The liberal main street media likes to play this up so keeps asking people (mainly Republicans) about it just to keep the "story" alive and to try and make them look bad.
But if Trump wants to spout off about it, who cares? He's entitled to his opinion and nobody mistakes him for a serious presidential contender for the GOP.
People need to stop allowing the liberal main street media and their lackeys from manipulating them with this kind of BS. Just LAUGH and say "Next Question".
Uh-oh, Timbo, looks like you're now going to lose a good deal of support.
"I think President Obama was born in the United States."
And educated Americans KNOW Obama was born in Hawaii ! Weak statement from Tim (I think) and that means Pawlenty has weak judgement and is not fir for the highest job in the land. Trump the Bankrupt Chump can't name one fact in his "all of a sudden" birther campaign that backs up his story that there is somehow new evidence that Obama was not born in the US. You can either believe the birthers or the combination of the CIA,Secret Service,FBI, Homeland Security,The Clintons, DNC,RNC and you would have to believe they all came up with the scam almost fifty years ago.
I'm not wild about Pawlenty, but he's got my respect for standing up on this long-dead and debunked issue.
Show me the doctors and nurses in Kenya who were witness to his birth? How come nobody in Kenya remembers him being born there?
Donald, I was about to give you the benefit of the doubt, thinking you would take the high road. Not anymore. If you can't come with what you can do better than the incumbent President, shut up. The vast majority of the American people are not as stupid as you think we are. Trust me. Watch on election day. Keep it up.
Finally a sane Republican
Who knew? Tim Pawlenty and I actually agree on something.
The more I look at Donald Trump, the more I feel the need to wash my eyeballs!
I do not know about that? in the future.
Got to give it to him: Smart Man, stay away from the loonies
Lets get this over with.......Obama and Trump have a TV lunch........Obama shows the world his certificate and Trump shows the world his real hair / head after a shower
Definitely have new found respect for Pawlenty. Even though he is not one of my favorite Presidential candidates.
CNN, Why give any ink to the likes of Trump and others if there is no substance to their claims. Continuing to give these fools space puts you right with them.
I don't think the majority of the Republican party thinks Mr. Obama isn't an American citizen, just the vocal minority-tea party/Palin nuts. As for Donald Trump, I wouldn't vote for him if he was the only one running for dog catcher.
CNN, Why give any ink to the likes of Trump and others if there is no substance to their claims. Continuing to give these fools space puts you right with them. At least there is one honest republican.
Wow, one of the GOP candidates has a brain!
So Pawlenty isn't a birther. And that is supposed to mean he would make a great president? I've no faith in any of the republican candidates.
Not saying I'd vote for him but Pawlenty's stature just rose a bit in my eyes. He's showing he's probably one of the smatest the GOP could come up with as a candidate.
Tim Pawlenty just became a person that I will pay attention to. Could he really be a Republican who is genuinely interested in substantive issues rather than the insults, empty accusations, and mind-numbing ignorance that characterizes the comments of so many in his party???
Nice picture of Polenta doing what GOPers do best: point fingers. He'll fit right in among the gaggle of know-nothing goobers they've assembled for 2012.
Ah Timmy, while trying to seize the middle makes political sense, your constituency is completely out of their minds. You will not gain any point for this.
Funny that Trump releases his birth certificate and it isn't the official one. What is he trying to hide? Where is his official birth certificate?
republicans would do well to separate themselves as far as possible from those on the extreme right of issues, and non-issues like the birthplace of our President. It is the only hope they have to claim an executive seat in the White House in 2012. The majority of intelligent, moderate, non-party affiliated voters see this and other issues the Tea Party holds dear to for what they are – small minded political posturing based upon divisive and vitriolic rhetoric. None of which will help our country progress.
Well here is a GOP member who had passed the third grade.
A person can't go down to the Florida DMV and get a drivers license or I.D. card without a certified copy of their birth certificate, and one other form of I.D. from a specified list of acceptable I.D.'s....Why should it be so incomprehensible, regardless of who may be running for the Presidency, to make them prove beyond a shadow of a doubt where they were born? Same with their background in general. If you want a job as an executive at any large corporation, or even in Law Enforcement, your background is examined in great detail. How did Obama get by, with everything there is to know about him being hid in the shadows. We're talking about the Presidency here! You can't go buy a gun without proof of citizenship and a crime free background. Here you have a guy who is in charges of the most powerful weapons in the world and he hasn't gone through even close to the same scrutiny as someone who wants to buy a 22 caliber handgun!
I don't think Trump was born in the U.S. In fact, he looks suspiciously like an alien (as in outer space). Who born on earth has hair like that?
T-Paw just lost my vote. Trump is not my favorite, but he is asking the right questions and doing his homework. THe Donald is doing what T-Paw should be doing. MAybe we ned to look at T-Paw's birth Certificate?
Let's see Trump's 9real) birth certificate. I personally don't believe that he was born in the US. And even if he shows us a birth certificate, I won't believe that it si authentic. Trumpp is a foreigner, everybody knows that.
This is all a GAME......smoke screen............watch and learn.
