Donald Trump: I've Said My Piece On Obama's Birth Certificate
TPM ^ | April 21, 2011 | Evan McMorris-Santoro

Posted on 04/21/2011 7:32:20 AM PDT by Smokeyblue

Could Donald Trump be following Karl Rove's advice and dropping his public birtherism once and for all? In an op-ed published in USA Today on Thursday morning, Trump writes that he's ready to stop all the birther chatter.

"I have spoken my piece on this issue," Trump wrote, reminding readers that "many people have the same doubts as I have."

Trump says he's ready to shift the conversation about his maybe-candidacy to something more substantive.

"My concern lies with people like the single mom who recently wrote to me that she now works a third job to pay for the gas to get to the other two," Trump writes.

You’ll notice in that CNN Video the TV anchors play loony advocates and press secretaries for Obama LoL.

CNN: If you quit talking about Obama not being born in Hawaii will quit asking. Trump fine.

Trump just talked about the BC issue on Fox a few minutes ago.

Well there goes that theory out the window that Trump is finished talking about it.

You’re correct. Trump’s reputation is now riding on the bc issue. If nothing comes of it or he turns up facts we already know, the witches on The View will make mincemeat of him.

I don’t think he’s retreating either.

Up until this point, I really didn’t think he was running. Now I think there is a much stronger possibility that he is.

“...like the single mom who recently wrote to me...’

Swell....NOW he’s going to sound JUST like Little Stevie Dunham, Harry Reid and Pelosi.......

If he wants to fade away, this is the way to do it.

The eligibility scam IS the attention getter. Stick to it.

Maybe he reads 10 letters a night from the little people, just like BO.

I suspect that they're working in concert. Trump's "investigators" are in fact Corsi and his people. It makes lots of sense for both of them.

Corsi has a good track record..see Swiftboats

There has to be something there..otherwise we wouldn't have all the pre-publication hype...So Trump raises the issue..heightens awareness..gets everyone, especially the MSM talking about it...the book comes out..it'll be a HUGE hit.. the facts and data and documentation will speak for themselves...

LOL. Stephanopolous was right. Trump was blowing smoke about having people in Hawaii who can’t believe what they’re finding. It will be fun to watch the Trump Chumps be disappointed and disillusioned. They deserve it.

I don't know, I question Corsis credibility and mental state. He seems like one more nut from Harvard to me who goes after everybody no matter what party they are. He called for the impeachment of Bush and believes 911 was an inside job. Who does he pal around with, Charlie Sheen?

According to Corsi, "A video clip widely circulated on the Internet shows a test that pulverized an F-4 fighter on impact with a hardened target, providing evidence to answer 9/11 skeptics who question why so little identifiable airplane debris remained after the hijacked American Airlines Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon." It has been reported that audio and a Youtube video has been circulating of Corsi's January 29, 2008 interview on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' radio show.In the interview Corsi discusses "the findings of Steven Jones, physicist and hero of the '9/11 Truth' movement who claims to have evidence that the World Trade Center towers collapsed due to explosives inside the building, not just the planes hitting them, during the attacks." Corsi cites Jones' findings of microscopic forensic evidence which seemingly negates the U.S. government hypothesis that the aircraft's jet fuel fired heat, alone, was sufficiently hot enough to collapse the steel superstructure of the buildings. Obama's campaign has criticized Corsi for these claims. Corsi has also appeared on INN World Report, a news program on the left-wing Free Speech TV, to advance his claims.

Meanwhile, the damage has been done. Trump has convinced America that the most important issue for GOP voters is Obama’s birth certificate. A win for Obama.

Agreed. There MUST be something very explosive in this book and Trump had advance notice. I don’t think he would go out on a limb unless he was sure he wouldn’t end up with egg on his face. He made a very calculated decision to open this pandoras box. He will come out the big winner if he proves EVERY politician wrong or even criminal. It seems to me that Trump and Corsi are scratching each others backs right now and they will probably both come out winners.

He's brought the issue into the mainstream - if he's serious about running and trying to resurrect the American economy then he needs to bring up other issues. You can't be a one trick pony and there are a ton of other outrageous issues - like disappearing jobs and the price of gas. The birther issue isn't dead - it's simmering.

Trump never said that this was the most important issue...It is an important question related to the eligibility according to the constitution and certainly should be addressed. Until zero resolves the questions, they should continue Io be asked. To say that this is taking a position that it is the most important issue or the only issue is silly. Can't walk and chew gum at the same time?

Talk radio local (WCBM Baltimore) this morning FULL of people getting real emotional over what gas prices are doing to them

Our station has been telling folks to buy and fill-up today! Seriously...fill-up today. Gas prices are about to spike up again.

Interesting information being broadcast from the news department?
