Donald Trump Responds (Slams NYT Columnist Gail Collins)
NYTimes ^

Posted on 04/09/2011 2:31:20 AM PDT by quesney

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 high level. More importantly, her facts are wrong!

...I don't need Ms. Collins's advice. There is a large segment of our society who believe 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” -merely a totally unsigned “certificate of live birth”-which is 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, 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. Everybody, after all, and especially then, wanted to be a citizen.

[...]

For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen.

[...]

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!

Finally someone not rolling over and playing dead on this issue. Trump egts kudos points on this, he’s taking it to the Obama shills with a 2x4.

It’s a great slam at Collins but, wow, what a horribly-written letter. If I’m ostensibly running for president and I have a letter in the “New York Times”, I wouldn’t want to come across writing like an elementary school student. It doesn’t help the cause much.

Maybe he knows they wouldn’t publish it unless his “word usage is not at a very high level.” Besides, he’s written more bestsellers than you and I put together!

ROFL.

Gotta love Trump. We need more on our side with this sort of gumption.

That there, is a first-rate insult.

Collins is paid to write.
When I read “news” I like just the facts ma’am myself. I read news for knowledge not pretty. I didn’t go to the article but I never thought about how these excerpts were written. He got his point across.

Haven’t read any of Trump’s books, but in general, bestsellers do not guarantee great literary style.

That's what the MSM and the Liberals fear the most, someone who is fearless and stand up for what they believe in.

Agreed. Great to see somebody not afraid to talk back to the left leaning media.

Most people, who have well written works, have used editors to make their point. Either that, or they’ve taken hours to write what they want to say.

Odds are, Trump mashed this letter out within 15 minutes of having read her column.

Again, the self-absorbed boasting gave the letter the content that a snarky editor would publish; I just wonder who’s playing whom?

The democrats agree with you, especially the liberal media and hard core Obama supporters.

I didn’t hear a thing.

Would you care to revise and extend your remarks so people don’t place you as the pot calling the kettle black?

“He sounds like an idiot”.
***********

How utterly elitist of you. Maybe we need more “Hahvud” liberal arts or English majors who are adept at writing composition. Yeah, that’s ticket!! That type would make a real great president! Holy cr@p, man, who care how he writes, what nonsense.
