Trump 'proud' of himself, takes credit for birth-certificate release

[Playinghardball]

From NBC's Shawna Thomas

PORTSMOUTH, NH -- Donald Trump is "proud" of himself for, as he puts it, "getting the president to release his birth certificate." In the minutes before Trump landed in Portsmouth, NH, to begin a day of stumping, the White House released President Obama's long-form birth certificate, and Trump told the press he heard about it while flying to the airfield.

"Today I'm very proud of myself, because I've accomplished something that no one else has been able to accomplish," Trump said, adding, "Our president has finally released a birth certificate."

However, he said he would have to check out the certificate himself and wondered why the president didn't do this "a long time ago."

With his Trump-emblazoned helicopter behind him, he began to answer questions about the birth certificate issue and whether he would run or not. Trump reiterated that he wouldn't announce until NBC's Celebrity Apprentice is over, but that the public would be "surprised" by his decision. "I think if I do run I'll do very well. Look, I'm already leading the polls and I'm not running." He continued, "I think I'd beat Obama."

1. what a total idiot this guy is.

[AtheistCrusader]

27. Idiot?

Look at all the free advertising he's getting for his TV show.

He's not going to run, but he's making a shit-ton of money in the process. And everyone's eating it up.

[neoralme]

34. Exactly. He's the number one Republican candidate. He just scored

an unbelievable win. He is talked about all day--for free. He has surpassed his goals by a country mile. He pretty much has made the Republicans look like a bunch of clods, insuring an Obama win.

[Atman]

2. This misses the main point of the story...he was promoting the final episode of Celebrity Apprentice

Period. Self-aggrandizing fucker.

[KeepItReal]

16. You doggone right!

It was all about the TV show.

[Ian David]

3. That's nice. Now, show us your tax returns. n/t

[Lost-in-FL]

6. And documentation proving he only went banckrupt 3 times, not more... nt

[tridim]

4. Narcissists like trump are proud of themselves when they take a morning shit

I proudly proclaim that he will never release his tax returns as promised, because they will destroy him.

[Turborama]

43. !

:rofl:

Good one, thanks for the laugh!

[neoralme]

5. I'm glad Trump's efforts paid off. This will push more people into

the Obama camp, which I believe was Trump's intent. I don't think Trump will run now, and Obama will have no real challengers. Trump removed the only possible stumbling block. Remember which Party Trump gives most of his money to. And Trump feels strongly that Medicare is off limits.

[Roy Rolling]

7. proud to be a PROVEN idiot

The only thing the birth certificate release does is PROVE that Trump is a moron and a liar when he said Obama wasn't born in Hawaii and there were serious doubts based on Trump's investigators.

But like my Mama used to say, "fools names like fools faces, always found in public places."

[nolabear]

8. Dick. Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick.

Bastard. I can't even think of anything else to say except ASSHOLE!!!

[kjackson227]

44. Well, this about sums it up, LOL! ITA.

[FarLeftFist]

9. Egotistical narcissist. Always about HIM.

Trump "You're IMPEACHED"!.

[alp227]

40. +1

[harun]

10. Conservatives will eat this up. They like their leaders to do nothing and take

credit for everything that happens.

[LynneSin]

11. Good now show us your tax returns you asshole

:D

[Boudica the Lyoness]

12. Now if he can get Obama's circumcision certificate,

he'll be fully qualified to be president.

[still_one]

13. NBC can go f*cK themselves for propagating this bullshit. I hope they lose their ass with comcast

[TatonkaJames]

14. It seems more and more he's proud that...

he got an African American to do what a Caucasian guy wanted him to do. Sounds like some racial undertone going on there.

[SemperEadem]

28. I agree

[JohnnyRingo]

15. Is he going to identify and fire his "investigators" for making him look like a liar?

Maybe ne doesn't like doing that kind of thing in public.

[Fire1]

17. Trump can kiss my en-tire ass! n/t

[vduhr]

33. Yes...me too!

Cheek to cheek and in between!

[bkkyosemite]

18. Hey Trump...Your 15 minutes of fame is up

I am Barack Obama and I am the President...

:rofl:

[Plucketeer]

19. I know there was another thread, but

have we ever established whether or not this coiffed rube had/has a draft card???

[ReturnoftheDjedi]

20. Trump knows his attention-getter is gone. Next Repuke Clown Candidate, please!

[NYC Liberal]

21. HA HA. He CLEARLY thought Obama would never be able to

do it, which is why he promised to release his tax returns.

So what ARE those tax returns Mr Trump?

[groundloop]

22. Donald, where are your Selective Service records?

Trump turned 18 when the draft was going strong, we should be able to see how he got out of serving.

[Botany]

23. Proud of giving a racist dog whistle?

The president isn't a real American and he isn't that smart too. Trump was pandering to the worst of the Americans.

[marions ghost]

50. very presidential....!!!

:spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Botany]

55. google trump's hair

and then hit .... images :rofl:



honest to Dog how can anyone walk away from a mirror and think that looks good?

[Broderick]

24. He is so surreal to me

that I get amusement by his arrogance and self promotion. Never seen anyone so narcissistic in my life to be honest.

[maddogesq]

25. My "Song of the Day" on FB dedicated to this publicity seeking POS.

[nolabear]

39. Oh THANK YOU!!

I wish Zappa was here to do this shit justice, but you reminded me just how awesome a fearless cynic can be! Oh, and I stole your idea for my FB as well. You made my day.

More Zappa, Less Jackwagon!

[SemperEadem]

26. Pride goes before destruction; and the haughty spirit before the fall

donald strumpet is irrelevant now.

[Historic NY]

29. Donald Rump.

[SemperEadem]

30. the only way he could beat Obama

is in a wacking-off contest. Period.

3+ wives--the latest being foreign born and young enough to be his daughter, bankruptcy filing, draft dodging and tax record hider--those with the most to lose hide the most. The last thing this country needs is a failed ceo trying to turn the country into his own private serfdom.

[and-justice-for-all]

31. Just so they can say 'its a fake'....AGAIN.

:eyes: Uh, where the fuck was he when they released it the first time????!!! These people are to dumb to insult.

[Dappleganger]

32. We should make Trump prove he's rich

by producing every single one of his billions of dollars. Hard proof. Fair is fair.

[vduhr]

35. But this won't stop the racists/birther morons...

I've already read several message boards where the comments from these idiots are saying they don't believe even the long-form is real. I think it was an excellent move on Obama's part to release the long-form. It now turns the tables on the birthers who will still proclaim that the long-form is fake because it proves, without a doubt, that they are racists. As for Trump, it proved he is a liar, a fake, and a racist himself, no matter how much he will try to take credit for this.

[JJW]

36. Donald Trump and Sarah Palin are.....

leprechauns.

[sinkingfeeling]

37. Guess Trump didn't hear the President say, "We do not have time for this kind of silliness."

I also think he called Trump a "carnival barker".

[Dollface]

42. Bill Mahr refers to Trump as "a curiousity from the 80's."

Mr. Obama reminded me of a working parent trying to finish a project due the next day who, after being badgered for hours by their kids, finally gives in and says with exasperation, "OK, you can pack Poptarts and Skittles for your lunch."

[Oak2004]

38. Is there anyone on earth who does not know that Donald Trump is oh so very, very, proud of himself

all of the time?

[democrank]

41. Trump is so very, very, very, very, very, very, very special

....and important. Just ask him.

[Raschel]

45. Exactly what I predicted he'd say. Jerk.

[greiner3]

46. This takes the wind out of Donald's sails;

For his POTUS run. However, as for his mouth in general I don't think it's possible to do.

[leftynyc]

47. Just how small is trump's dick anyway?

I've never seen such an obvious display of overcompensation in my life.

[Historic NY]

57. He's become so portly even he doesn't know.

[thelordofhell]

48. Trump statement

"I'm proud we got that colored boy to show his birth certificate to prove he's black."

This is just so disgusting on many levels.

[Politicalboi]

49. They never should have done that

Let these assholes wonder. Obama showed his B/C and it was good enough the first time, and good enough for a passport. Obama just played into their hand. The Donald bellows, and Obama answers. And they still won't believe it.

[SoapBox]

51. What an a$$ this clown is...

BUT...we need to make sure that he is the candidate of choice for the RushThug/T.HaterBagger Party!

Then we can say, just like we did for GrampyMcSame and Fail'nPalin...LOSERS.

[primavera]

52. This has to be a first

Someone actually proud to have been proven a lying sack of shit? Are there no limits to Repuke dementia?

[Spinny Liberal]

53. Just say it man

"Please watch The Apprentice."

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

54. Could this release actually be an effort to keep Trump in the race longer?

The birthers and Teabaggers might see this as a sign that Trump is the man to lead them.

They could be saying sh*T like 'Look! Trump is walking all over Obama. We must now prostrate ourselves to him for he is our savior!'.
The TeaBaggers will obviously want him to...(well you know...something that shall not be said)...them.


Personally I think his comb-over is hiding a little demon in a cockpit.

[moondust]

56. Yes, that's quite an accomplishment.

:rofl:

[alp227]

58. PRINCE WILLIAM would make a better president than this selfish knucklehead.

Besides, Trump is taking credit for jumping on a bandwagon and not being a critical thinker.

[Lasher]

59. I am certain Trump never misses an opportunity to be proud of himself.

[B Calm]

60. Now if Trump will come clean on how he avoided the Vietnam War. .

[DCBob]

61. Pround to have manipulatrd the media to make this non-issue a headline for weeks..

sickening.

[Rex]

62. The man is a buffoon. Proof you don't have to be smart to be on TVEE.

Just have a gimmick and some help from people far richer and wiser.
