VIDEO: Trump ignores Obama birth certificate

When presented with President Obama’s long-form birth certificate by a NBC News producer Shawna Thomas, Donald Trump ignored it, and instead reverted to a stock talking point about how he’s proud to have pushed Obama to release it.

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

         Finally!! What the hell took so long? I don't give me that "oh it is so difficult to do" crap he is the president for crissakes.  I think Trump should keep up with disclosing all of the secrets.  I have to assume that this is real, but now the rest of the story? Obama is hiding something...I don't know what it is, but I for one am glad Trump is forcing these issues.

        For morons like you, Obama will always have something to hide. You don't what but you "assume" that he is doing so.

        Trump is a clown in a business suit, and you are the one who cleans his crap. What a loser.

          he won't be hiding his re-election in 2012, HA !

            Obama is gong to hold back on each and every item of evidence that you birthers want until you have walked into his trap and fall on your faces. He will keep it up right until eclection day in 2012. Idiots like Trump will voice their claims and charges and the GOP and its teabaggers will demand and condemn Obama. The he will produce the evidence to refute their claims and will win the election. Not to worry, he will thank all of you idiots once he wins.

              "Silly person" When I was a kid, we played a card game called "trumps". Seems like Trump is playing "trumps"--the card game.

                    Donald Trump is a perfect example of the fact that money may buy a lot of things, but it surely does not buy common sense.  I once respected him as a businessman, but now I know that he does not have the ability to make profitable money decisions on his own.  He has to have a great team of advisors.  He just seems so pitiful now.  I feel sorry for him.

                      What Trump will never acknowledge is that he was rejected by both Columbia and Harvard. Trump, produce the originals of these rejection letters.

                                  The only reason why his citizenship was questioned are his looks and his birthplace. Not only is our president a black man but he was born in Hawaii - a suspicious island... From now on, the extremist should make it clear that to be a real american citizen one must be white and born between the holy lands located between the Mississippi and Colorado rivers. Alaska, Hawaii, California and NY have all been contaminated by "fake american citizens". It is again an outrage and I wish all the American citizens not born in the contiguous states would rise against this.

                                      Is anyone else as embarrassed to be an American as I am (37% still have doubts he was born in American). What that poll really says is that 37% of American's (of the 300,000 that responded to the poll) are racist idiots. It's little wonder why this country is in trouble.

                                        Both these political parties are owned and when they get together the public will always be the losers. Banks wall street and big corporations will be the winners. Obama at bottom line is little different than Bush. The only thing he really fought for was to keep the Bush tax cuts. To hell with both these prostitute parties. We will force change are they will destroy America.

                                        The authenticity of the long form of President Obama's birth certificate will soon be called into serious question when real estate mogul Donald Trump makes his next public statement; per a transcript of the statement, Trump is expected to announce that he has it "on good authority, from an unnamed, high-level source, that photographs have been obtained which show Barack Obama partially concealed in the bushes atop the infamous grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963." In his remarks, Trump is also expected to add that the young Obama "is armed with a high-powered 6.5 mm caliber Carcano rifle with telescopic sight, virtually identical to that purportedly used by Lee Harvey Oswald." When a Trump advisor mentioned that Barack Obama was living in Hawaii at the time and was only some two years and four months of age on that fateful day, Trump replied "Obama will just have to prove it. Maybe that certificate isn't genuine after all."

                                                  I don't understand why everyone keeps calling the President a black man. Going by the standards of the Jewish people, since his mother was white that makes him white. Or can anyone tell me why is it that only the Caucasian/white people can kick someone out of their race because they are mixed with another race. With that being said, then I am kicking Obama out of the black race. His momma is white and so is he. So all the white people stop hating on one of your own.

                                                    His Marriage Certificate

                                                    His Passport

                                                    Police Clearance

                                                    His academic records and Libs you can call us Recorders. Not Birthers any more.

                                                      Gosh , we don't need the Supreme Court anymore. All Trump had to do was to raise hell and out comes the birth certificate. What sort of President do we have. Americans have really elected a President who talks a lot and does little. Always running for the podium. Ever noticed that? Just like Archie Bunker's wife. Always running. Perhaps, if Trump raise his voice again , out comes the academic records. What sort of President is this? Wait , he thinks he lives on an island? He shut down his birth certificate, his academic records, the oil industry, the health care system and a host of other things. This is the craziest presidency I have ever lived through.

                                                      I dare all you people to stop insulting people you never met and start proving the facts you gloss over. The long form didn't exist, and now that it does, its a patchwork quilt of a con job. The background does not match a 1961 version. Parts of the quilt rubber stamp a demo BC, and other parts look suspect on so many other levels that are just not in our easy reaches. African is not a race, but don't say anything. Numbers don't jibe, but make some lame excuse before actually investigating. Nobody should be called sheeple until facts are proven. Face it, you people thrill in quibbling and ignore the facts. None of you are blind, just all wrapped up in selfimportance. Oops, "you people" is a "racist" attack. TSK TSK I outed myself. If I said I was Obamas daddy and printed a fishing license, would you buy it? Make sense people, stop backbiting your fellow americans for choosing to think differently, on BOTH sides. Business as it has been, has turned UNusual.

                                                        Yeah, he had to have some time for the Secret Service to expunge other documents from the files and replace them with some new ones; same goes for his school records; he should be releasing them soon. Why didn't he publish the certificate right away to hush up the birthers? BECAUSE HE COULDN'T!!!

                                                          Obama knew this was NOT going to satisfy the never ending urge of these "Birthers"....including Trump.

                                                          He did not "have to" release the certificate, he did it so that "some" will be convinced how "SENSELESS" this issue really was and how much time and effort those that oppose him, will waste trying to discredit him.

                                                          The issue was to confuse, distract and sway anyone they could, to move/keep them on the far RIGHT!This is simple to see, by the way "Trump" ignored it, after it's release! Well AGAIN, TRUMP ALONG WITH HIS "BIRTHERS", GETS EGGS IN THEIR FACE......LOL. Although Trump, in his own mind (as usual) is a Hero..........

                                                          Now it'll be.....HE'S A MUSLIM!
