Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said on Saturday it was not his job to stand up for U.S. President Barack Obama after a man at one of his campaign events said he was a Muslim and "not even an American."
"Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don't think so!" Trump said on Twitter.
Trump drew criticism on Friday from Republican and Democratic rivals in the 2016 race for the presidency when he failed to challenge a man at a New Hampshire town hall Thursday night who said Muslims were a problem in the United States.
"We know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American," the man said.
Trump, the billionaire television personality who leads the pack of Republicans seeking the presidential nomination, has cast doubt on whether Obama was born in the United States and therefore qualified to stand as president.
"This is the first time in my life that I have caused controversy by NOT saying something," Trump tweeted. "If someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president, do you really think he would come to my rescue? No chance!"

Trust me when it’s convenient to them it will become that Obama is a Muslim and so what.
If people don’t see what they are doing to destroy security over this kid with a “clock”.
You can’t call Obama a Muslim, you can’t use his Muslim name, can’t mention his Muslim fathers or upbringing, his support of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Last night, Megyn Kelly tried to make this into a big issue.
WooHoo Thank you Trump. Exactly. If the press wants to know if Obama is a Muslim, let them ask him. Or better yet, just read his book and he will tell them what he is.
Well, Mr. The Donald, if I may take a moment to answer your query.
This president doesn’t even defend murdered police officers or soldiers killed by muslim terrorists, so no, I don’t think he would bother to defend you either.
Can’t the Marxist,Muslim,Duplicitous,Petulant Man-Child defend himself? Hell Has the Entire Press to help
Poor Megyn...her 15 minutes of fame is slipping away. Bye..buy...by.
She is going to need another transfusion soon.
The big disappointment of 2008 was when McLame endorsed Obama for President in October.
I don’t think there’s much chance of Trump endorsing the Dem nominee in Oct 2016.
the kind of common sense that totally escapes the weenies in the establishment....
Best answer of the night was to the question about global warming
If Obama thinks he is a Christian, let him walk around with his Bible saying “Jesus Christ is Lord!”
Let him say that “there is One God and one mediator between God and Man, the Man Christ Jesus.”
Instead he praises Mohammed every opportunity he can. He persecutes Christians and holds Ramadan Dinners in the White House every year.
If he’s a Christian, then I am the King of Siam.
Hillary's hypocrisy is particularly nauseating. She's lying-in-wait---
like a thief---looking for opportunites to revive her dead candidacy.
She'd spit on her grandmother's grave for votes.
BACKSTORY In 2008, the Clintons had pics of Obama in Muslim dress. But Uncle Teddy warned them not to use them. Teddy and Caroline later endorsed Obama to certain victory.
DONALD OUGHTA LOOK INTO THIS: 2008 Obama's PR person---Anita Dunn---intimated they were hiding plenty. After the Muslim was safely elected-- Dunn arrogantly asserted they let the media know ONLY what they wanted them to know about Obama..... The Obama campaign did not respond to questions. Obama's primary opponent, Hillary, knew this, as well.
THEY ALL KNOW CNN’S Michaela Pereira Called Obama "President Mohammed".
Should of said ask George Stephanpolis
Drop the 'T', add an 'S' and shuffle the letters and your post will be accurate.
Ed Klein told Hannity:
“The Rev. Wright told me on tape Obama came to him and said, ‘I need some spiritual advice; I don’t know exactly who I am.’ The Rev. Wright said — and this is on tape — ‘Well, we know your Islam background and you have that, but what you need now is some coaching on Christianity.’
“And I asked the Rev. Wright, did you convert him from being a Muslim to a Christian?
“He said, ‘Well I don’t know if I could go that far but I can tell that I made it comfortable for him to accept Christianity without having to renounce his Islamic background.’”
May it be obseved the Rev. Wright was, himself, a former muslim.
Everyone with a Brain knows that Obama does NOTHING that is Christian and that Muslims RUIN everything they touch and they are out to kill all Christians and Jews!! and claim their land after they kill everyone. GO DONALD!!!
Obama outed himself as a Muslim when he said ..”it’s true that McCain has not made an issue of my Muslim faith”.....well IF he was a Christian, WHY would McCain have made an “issue” of being a Christian??? DOESN”T COMPUTE!!
She’s a shank. True colors finally shown.
That’s what Dana Perino said this morning to Tucker Carlson. I thought it was an excellent point.
Bingo!
