The video was shot by an NBC News crew and edited by Domenico Montanaro.

LMFAO......look sheeple....this was handled back in the primaries right? NO........ and this is not racist if the man did anything he said he would do! everyone would be backing him...i think his birth certificate is a Forgery....most of you are defending the secound bush you are just to slow to see it
Trump has just proved himself as a naive politician. Even a collegian Freshman would not lie and perhe himself regarding his place of birth and citizenship. After seeing this stupidity, I would never vote for him, nor would I vote for any Republican, as they have put the highest office in the country at task over stupid rumors. I have always voted for gOP but not after this and Sarah Palin's stupid Tea Party movement, another thorn in the GOP.
Obama needs to be commded for his action. I can now trust him more than I did before, and may conisder voting for him. Did not do so in 2008.

Is anyone going to ask First Read to close this racist down?
I flagged it as inflammatory and suggest you do the same if you haven't already done so!
Racist POS's are NOT welcome around here!
How do I flag it? This is beyond disgraceful.
Ira lapin or whoever wrote that is crying out about a hungry beast who need's to be fed with the truth . If looked after properly the beast will eat and through a natural course of time ....... will die

There's a drop down menu to chose from! ;o)
Thanks!
I think Obama should demand a DNA test of Trump to see if Trump is part of the human race.
My only issue is WHY? If the document is real then this would never have been an issue. Makes one wonder about the veracity of the document if nothing else. Here is a citizens requirement to get a passport.....No birth certificate no passport no problem. I rest my case
Yes phony patriot, you better rest your case, because you don't have a case. I'm sure you saw Geroge Bush birth certificate, didn't you?
Because an Africa-American is the president of the USA, people are going crazy. Mr Obama is so smart that, the GOP have not be able overcome any of his moves. The republican can not even defense the Rayn budget bill they passed to kill medicare. They think by going after his birth will help them, no way! Obama will still win in 2012. watch out
Obama's dog can 't ever be a citizen of these United States! I am a birther and proud of it! God bless America! Well, again, maybe not (on the dog sled Citizen Kane thing). :) :) :)
Gotcha....you ignorant tea baggers.......now STFU
I will never, never ever stay at a Trump Hotel. I will never, never watch Celebrity Apprentice. I will never buy a Trump steak, doodads, etc. Also, I will never purchase Ivanaka Trump jewelry, nor Melanie Trump's jewelry on QVC! Trump is a blowhard idiot! He has money because of his father being a landlord in New York. Also, I will never watch the sleazy beauty pagaent that he owns whereby he exploits young women!
Go work on your hair - you goofball!
...as if you would have been able to afford it lol.
Oh No @ #40.1
...as if you would have been able to afford it lol
sueca or anyone else can afford it...just wait for another bankruptcy and it will be cheap! Pennies on the dollar! I just hope that the country does not ever have to "enjoy" Trumps kind of leadership.
I just saw a vote tally that 36% of Americans are so nutty they still don't believe this is Obama's birth certificate and that he was born in the USA. I bet many of these are a product of the dumbing down of America and I bet they are ALL GOP and Tea Party. I bet they get a lot of their misinformation and disinformation from Fox News and Rupert Murdoch's other propaganda outlets. Donald 'birther' Trump has now proven himself to be as nutty as any of them....that will probably be a real vote-getter among this goofy crowd. Why should Obama have to produce a birth certificate anyway....no other President has had to do this, the whole thing has been right wing lunacy from the start. These people are scary-nutty!
Trump the chump and Obama on the same ticket in 2014.
Jim @ #42
Pick one, 2012 or 2016.
wake up everybody - obama finally dropped this birth certificate annoucement in a wag the dog move to quash the story on his Easter Sunday church visit to another racist pastor - hello.
You all know what? it seems that Trump works for the INS so he should demand a birth certificate to the millions of illegal aliens in the US that are keeping us in the unemployment lines becouse they have the jobs we deserve to have as citizens that we are, Trump should join Alpayo from Arizona, don't you think Trump would enjoy that?
really dirtbag: because i see thousand of US CITIZENS lining up to be cooks, and be out in the fields picking up the veggies and fruits. and cleaning houses, offices etc
Beatocarlosdeltoro.....he should demand a birth certificate to the millions of illegal aliens in the US that are keeping us in the unemployment lines becouse they have the jobs we deserve to have as citizens.

You need a social security number to collect unemployment AND you needed to be working full time for 6 months and paying your Social Security taxes. Tell me how an illegal can do that please and don't start with forged or stolen documents please cause that's nonsense. Hey...also exactly which jobs that they are now employed at as "illegals" would you want to apply for.
Donald Trump is a freaking moron that proves that HE HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO with his time!!! Instead of worrying about his citizenship that has already been established he should worry about getting a better hair piece. He should infact be "proud" of himself for not only wasting everyone's time but because Obama stooped down to his level to shut him up.
America has become a laughingstock because of these 38 per-centers who still doubt and will believe anything fantastical and negative about anybody and who are courted and egged on 24/7 by the Republican Party and Faux News.
But then again the Republican Party who is owned lock stock and barrel (pardon the expression Exxon) by special interests, realizes that these are really the only Americans they can get to believe their totally ludicrous insane nonsense.
I hate to break it to you but both parties are owned lock stock and barrel. If you think the Green Energy companies aren't in tight with the demos, think again. Look at G.E.. Don't be foolish, Corporate America has found a way to your pocket book through taxation with the democratic party. Companies like G.E. used to sell products, now they sell to the government and get paid by your taxes. Neither party is any worse than the other.. Those companies realize that the Americans are the only one they can get to believe that it makes sense to plant wind machines all over the hillsides and this has no environmental effect. Yes.. you are correct.. We americans are quite gullible.
A sleep at the wheel is perhaps a better description. Your statement that neither party is better or worse than the other, is totally erroneous. I will error with the party that overwhelming sides with the American people, its citizens, their causes and concerns and THAT is the Democratic party, unquestionably!!!
Are they infallible... no, they are not... but they put the concerns of the vast majority ahead of the minority, and I'll go with that any day of the year.
You sure you're not talking about the party that sides with your causes and concerns? I'm an American and they aren't addressing my causes and concerns any more than the Republican party.
Really? You don't have concerns about Health Care, Unemployment Insurance, Social Security, Medicare, Jobs and renewable Clean Energy instead of dirty oil?
You don't have concerns about taking away tax credits for Oil companies, big companies (including GE) dodging taxes, tax loop holes?
And the only, only party concerning itself about correcting these things is the Democratic Party.
I am absolutely concerned about these issues. This isn't the forum for the discussion but I could point out numerous reasons why neither party exhibits sincerity in resolving these problems and both party's facades are essentially making the American Public look like fools to the rest of the world. Unfortunately, politicians, democrat or republican will only do what they think will get them elected and this does not entail solving the difficult problems we face because that requires sacrifices that nobody will make until there is no choice. Nobody will do anything to fix the problem until there is nothing that can be done to hold the facade and the "fixing" is forced on us because each of us feels our own interests are too important to let go of.
Jeff,
But we already knew that about the catholics.
im not a racist, im patriotic but i swear if people let this clown Trump Run and vote for him this country is a JOKE
That's what happens to a country that becomes so rich it decides to produce nothing and pay for people to sit around and play video games. Why do you think we have to hire all foreigners. Why should we work? Glad to hear you're figuring out that we've become a JOKE.
Now the "FRUMP" scares me like a psychopath ...i believe it would be in the best interest of all serious contenders to the presidency to get restraining orders..... 300 yrds at all times ! I fear for their safety .
....as was the 2 birth announcements the hospital had printed in 1961 in the local paper announcing the birth of a black baby to a white mother and black father at a time when blacks could not even ride in the front of the bus let alone have any idea that a black man would become president in 2008. Just god awful stupid.
I don't know about Obama, but it seems that you had a very serious brain damaging accident somewhere along the road to the asylum.
From brain damaged in the asylum...the announcement of Obama's birth was printed in 2 Hawaiin papers a day or 2 after his birth in 1961. The hospital conspirators, knowing that this black baby, born to a white mother and black father at a time when blacks could not even ride in the front of the bus let alone have any idea that a black man would become president in 2008. That's an absolute fact about the announcements being printed 50 years age. Look it up if you can read. Time for my pills.
This is the best Trump can do with his podium? And you want him as president? He will make the USA a laughing stock of the civilized world. The US presidency will become a realty show instead of dealing with serious issues if he is elected.
Who says Trump was born in the US? Prove it. And even if you show me a document Donald, I'll still deny you were born here. I suppose you think the Holocaust never happened either.
This man needs to be knocked down a notch or two. What an ego!
The paleolithic right-wing kooks just cannot stand the fact that President Obama was elected.
Get over it. The fact that he called this "a sideshow from Carnival Barkers" is perhaps the biggest insult I can think of. Few caught it. I was like " Oh...SNAP !"
For all you who don't understand what Trump is saying:
I belive Trump was just trying to get Obama to take a public look at his own Birth certificate to remind Obama that he is infact an American. A lot of what is going on right now is not in the best interests of America and obama is not addressing this, instead he is off trying to help other countries with their problems while america sinks into the mud....
This is why Trump is not interested in looking at Obamas B.C. He was never questioning Obamas place of birth, just his intentions for the nation. Obama didn't do to well with this challange from Trump, just as Obama isn't doing to well with the Chinese exchange rate.
I hope this makes Trump a little more understandable.

Since Bush our country has sunk so low because of the on going wars, and since Palin, Beck making us look like idiots, even lower, and now a supposed intelligent Trump acting like a clown, we certainly don't look like a country any will look up to. It doesn't matter what political party, we have immature adolescence playing Tea Party and think it all fun and game. Doesn't look good for the supposed religious leaders either, who have fallen along way. Where is the mind set of the ones praising these people?
