Donald Trump Strikes Back (He's making the right enemies, just like Sarah)
The New York Times ^ | April 8, 2011 | Gail Collins

Posted on 04/08/2011 10:34:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump has written a letter complaining about me.

“Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers), is not at a very high level,” he penned.

Although Trump and I have had our differences in the past, I never felt it was personal. In fact, until now, I have refrained from noting that I once got an aggrieved message from him in which he misspelled the word “too.”

But about the letter. Mainly, it’s a list of alleged evidence that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Trump has made this the centerpiece of his faux presidential campaign, falling further and further into the land of the lunatic fringe. I find this a disturbing spectacle — a little like seeing a guy you know from the neighborhood suddenly turn up in the middle of Times Square with his face painted blue and yelling about space aliens.

“Bill Ayers wrote ‘Dreams From My Father,’ I have no doubt about it,” Trump told Joe Scarborough, who reported on Politico.com.

Ayers is the former ’60s radical who became a huge Republican talking point in 2008 because he had once given a house party for Obama when he was running for state senate. It’s a pretty big jump from coffee and cookies to writing an entire book, but I guess that’s what neighbors are for....

BAH HA HA LOL

Sounds like a little kid complaining that their sister ate the last french fry and in an attempt at getting satisfaction reports to the parent that they did something bad in school that you can never verify.

Is this woman looks 60 but acts like a 2 year old.

Donald Trump Responds
Published: April 8, 2011

To the Editor:

Re “Donald Trump Gets Weirder,” by Gail Collins (column, April 2):

Even before Gail Collins was with the New York Times, she has written nasty and derogatory articles about me. Actually, I have great respect for Ms. Collins in that she has survived so long with so little talent. Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers), is not at a very high level. More importantly, her facts are wrong!

As far as her comments on the so-called “birther” issue, I don’t need Ms. Collins’s advice. There is a very large segment of our society who believe that Barack Obama, indeed, was not born in the United States. His grandmother from Kenya stated, on tape, that he was born in Kenya and she was there to watch the birth. His family in Honolulu is fighting over which hospital in Hawaii he was born in-they just don’t know.

He has not been able to produce a “birth certificate” but merely a totally unsigned “certificate of live birth”-which is totally different and of very little significance. Unlike a birth certificate, a certificate of live birth is very easy to obtain. Equally of importance, there are no records in Hawaii that a Barack Hussein Obama was born there-no bills, no doctors names, no nurses names, no registrations, no payments, etc. As far as the two notices placed in newspapers, many things could have happened, but some feel the grandparents put an ad in order to show that he was a citizen of the U.S. with all of the benefits thereto. Everybody, after all, and especially then, wanted to be a United States citizen.

The term used by Ms. Collins-“birther”-is very derogatory and is meant in a derogatory way. Had this been George Bush or almost any other President or Presidential aspirant, they would never have been allowed to attain office, or would have been thrown out of office very quickly.

For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen. What they don’t realize is that if he was not born in the United States, they would have uncovered the greatest “scam” in the history of our country. In other words, they would become the hottest writer since Watergate, or beyond.

Open your eyes, Gail, there’s at least a good chance that Barack Hussein Obama has made mincemeat out of our great and cherished Constitution!

DONALD J. TRUMP

With the mere writing of that, Gail just gave Trump more face time and caused more people to question The Golden Child.

Say, I wonder what prevents The Donald from using the words, “Natural Born Citizen.”

I think the guy is priming the pump. I swear to GOD.... its not like FR is invisible. Heck, search on the term conservative birther and we are BOUND to show up.

No, Trump would NOT be going out on a limb like this with out KNOWING the answers well beforehand. This HAS to be deliberate. I cannot imagine anything other than deliberate choices in this. The implications are just too damned huge for anything else. Given how powerful he is, how “high up” he is, he has a long way to fall if he is wrong.

As Rush said, Trump is showing Republicans how to beat Obama.

I hope they are taking notes...

IF BO is found out to be a fraud, this helps NO Democrat. they would all be complicit. they would all suffer the consequences. None of them would have a snow balls chance n Hell of getting elected to the Presidency.

It would be far far worse than Watergate, and would have to include the entire Democrat hierarchy. The would be toast for several election cycles. Beside Hillary WORKS FOR OBAMA!

No either Trump is a scam and will not run, or he legitimately believes that America is in such trouble that only he could save the country. Trump is a self promoter, but he is a true American and believes in America and I believe that he wants America to be great again.

I think your scenario is possible.

I’ve long said Obama will not run in 2012.

They will toss him overboard.

Obama will play the race card, and blame Republicans, and the media will be full of stories about how honorable Obama is for not running over a mere technicality. He gave up everything for the good of the country. And those mean ass Republicans won’t leave him alone.

They will basically enshrine him.

Been the plan since day 2.

Hahahaha! Myth Romney thinks it’s 1996 and he’s a richer, better looking Bob Dole. They’ve nearly destroyed our only good candidate (you know her name) and the rest are dwarves. Keeps going this way and Barry is president for life.

We have been just that on "right wing talk radio." Hope you have been amused by the yakkers who have ignored us since 2007. Their scramble to jump on Trump's Birther Bandwagon is most unseemly! Gosh, we're almost not crazy anymore! Maybe now we can teach them "Natural Born Citizen?"

Hope:

The Big Trump Turn-Around

has some effect on the 9th Circuit where there is some very interesting action on the table for May2.

If BO is found to have been ineligible for the presidency the Dems will lose the independents. Those champions of fair play, double rainbows and unicorns.

Look at the raw numbers.

Obama has lost WOMEN VOTERS. By 60-40 in some polls.
He never had white men.

That leaves blacks, minority (in numbers) Demon men, 40% of the women, and stupid college kids.

He’s toast now.

The DNC types know it.

Hillary is the play.

Who else do they have?

Plus we have an electoral college system. Show me the states the Democrats would win with only the black & Hispanic vote.
