Mega-millionaire Donald Trump today said during an interview with FoxNewsInsider that Barack Obama is having trouble with, and spending millions to fight, the ongoing questions about his birth, his birth certificate and his eligibility to hold office and the longer the issue goes on, the more he is convinced there are problems with the president's eligibility.
His newest comments on an issue he first raised in an ABC interview more than a week ago came today on the Fox News Channel.
"The fact is if you're not born in the United States, you cannot be president. He is having a hard time. He spent millions of dollars trying to get away from this issue. Millions of dollars in legal fees trying to get away from this issue. I brought it up just routinely. All of a sudden a lot of facts are emerging and I'm starting to wonder myself whether he was born in this country," Trump said.

That's just it. Trump needs to have America maintain captialism. While there are many big businessmen who are RATS, they may be waking up to the fact that the Democratic party has turned a corner and is no longer what it used to be. They may not like that the party is beginning to hurt their profit margin.
From all of us! He's using Holder's DoJ lawyers.
Sorry, but that's ridiculous. Who ever said that doesn't know what they are talking about.
Let's review, shall we.
There are the so called "Big Six" media conglomerates. They are: GE, Disney, News Corp, Time Warner, Viacom, and CBS. Here is a handy link where you can review what these corporations own: The Big Six.
Now lest look at what it would mean to own 25% of these, based on their current market cap.
GE's market cap is $209B. So call that $50B.
Disney's MC is $80B, Trumps share $20B.
News Corp. $40B, Trump's share $10B,
Time Warner MC $38B, Trump's share $9B,
Viacom MC $27B, Trump's share $7B
and finally CBS $16B, Trump's share $4B.
50+20+10+9+7+4 = $90 Billion.
Forbes most recent ranking of Trump's net worth was $2 billion. So, there is no way he owns "27% of the MSM" or anything close to it. Also, most of his net worth is tied up in property, the source of his wealth.
I seriously doubt he has a significant position in ANY media company.
Cheers!
From you and me, the taxpayers. I believe the law firm handling this issue is on retainer to the WH.

I just got a page not found on your “The Big Six” link. Is there a typo in the pathway?
Hilariously entertaining.
Trump donates to both sides to make sure no one throws a bureaucratic wrench into his development projects.
Yes, this will be fun to watch.
That would destroy the entire political system.
I really think the enemy is living in the Whitehouse.
Agreed.
Fantastic deep analysis there, rdcbn. I hadn’t really considered all those interests and the fact that some or all may have the smoking gun proof of Obama’s ineligibility, or other embarrassing information.
Free Republic is such an awesome source of learning because of the quality of it’s best posters, such as you.
Thanks!
ME TOO!
Agreed
Hi - I’ll look for that. I might have heard that on Beck’s program, but I’m not sure... stand by!
LS - was that during one of your history breaks on the Insider Extreme? My brain is full! Thanks!
I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, but this is also true of politicians.
I’m sorry-—context: was what “during one of my history breaks . . . .”?
The Left is showing a remarkable lack of intellectual curiosity, eh?
He thinks you might have brought that up on Beck or can verify that issue. I remember Calvin was questioned on this during the campaign, but do you remember the particulars?
