Donald Trump isnt content with questioning Obamas citizenshipnow hes questioning his authorial accomplishments, too. In an interview with Laura Ingraham yesterday, Trump espoused the theory that Bill Ayers wrote Obamas memoir, Dreams of My Father, Aol News reports. Obama is only the president because he wrote a book that is supposed to be a great genius book, Trump said. But now its coming out that Bill Ayers wrote it.
Trumps repeating a rumor thats been circling in right-wing media. Ayers himself said that he had written the book at a speaking appearance last week, though as Allahpundit at the conservative blog Hot Air notes, it sounded a lot like he was being sarcastic. Would you believe that I wrote it? he said when asked about the book. And if you can help me prove it, Ill split the royalties. At that the audience burst out laughing. Ayers has reportedly used the line, complete with the royalties punch line, in the past as well.
(3) Trump is luxuriantly wealthy, and lives in an ultra-high life style which is the utter envy of all those who would normally bash a person daring to publicly express such a low-brow incessantly mocked view. It borders on the near-impossible for those who envy such a rich high-style life to mock someone they envy for it. To them it would be a like form of of soul-killing blasphemy.This is a very important point. It's the mirror-image of "cocktail creds" wherein a pseudo-conservative (usually a journalisto like Bill Kristol) drops all pretense of conservatism in order to get pats on the back by rich liberals at cocktail parties. A kind of lap-dog syndrome.
As you say, Trump doesn't aspire to be the hero of liberal cocktail parties, since they all want to go to HIS parties.
And for all his faults (and he has many) he's nobody's lapdog.
Thanks very much for posting your review.
I don’t care WHY he’s doing it...only that he is doing it.
I wonder what Donald’s FReeper name is!

Cashill obliterated Obama on this and the Mother In Law told Chris Anderson that Ayeres wrote it because barry went through the advance money and the publisher was threatening suit.
No one else dared, for three years, to go on TV and say these absolute truths to the American people! We FReepers knew all of this in early 2008, but no one dared talk about it in polite company!
Trump is a shining example of the little boy calling the Emperor naked.
thanks, will do
