GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, "THIS WEEK" HOST: Let's get into this controversy over the last couple of days. I saw your tweets yesterday, you said you didn't have a morally responsibility when that question came up about President Obama. But this is getting a lot of attention in part because you have raised questions like this in the past. So, for the record, was President Obama born in the united states?
DONALD TRUMP: Well, you know, I don't get into, George, I'm talking about jobs, military, I don't get into it. They asked the questions. Frankly, it's no longer an interest to me. It's something I don't want to talk about. I want to talk about the vets and the military. I want to talk about jobs. I don't get into that, George.
STEPHANOPOULOS The way to get behind it is answer yes or no --
TRUMP: That's possible, but I don't talk about it.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Even though you raised questions and you investigated this in the past --
TRUMP: Well, people thought I should have defended the president in terms of the question that was asked the other night. My attitude is, would he have done that for me? He's been very capable of defending himself, believe me. So, we'll see what happens. But I think the tweets really covered it cell. I actually was very interested because I got in hot water for not saying anything. First time it's ever happened to me. This is something where I didn't even say anything.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I take that point. But you raised these questions so often in the past, why can't you say definitively yes or not? You raised it many times. And he's not a Muslim.
TRUMP: George, you have raised the question. I haven't raised the question.

“And he’s not a Muslim.”
The way to stop this is whenever anyone says that immediately turn it around and ask
“How do you know”.
“Because he’s said so.”
“So it’s just a matter of whether people believe him. If half of Americans don’t believe him it’s not up to me to convince them. If he didn’t lie so much maybe they would believe him. But I really don’t know one way or another.”
Very good!
regardless, the world Muslim community, see Obama, as a Muslim.....
Spot on.
“George, I don’t know and I don’t care. Because once he signs this Iran deal, he’ll be an honorary Muslim, no matter what.”
The CNNMSNBCCBSetc interviewers and pundits are going to convince everyone in America that the president really is a Moslem at this rate. The MSM folks and all the pols already know he is and are acting with their jerking knees and with no thought about what they are doing.
Exactly, Mr. Trump, our so called pResident in the Oval has yet to step forward to defend ANY American...unless it was one of his own. Good Answers, Sir. Very good answers. Don’t allow Georgie boy try to step on your toes.
Thank you, RR.
Lol
The best response is “George, if Obama was on trial in one of your beloved Muslim countries, where the execute Christians, do you think there would be enough evidence to convict him?”
George is a dem operative pretending to be a journalist...
Yesterday some posted 10 or 12 quotes from Obama in regards to Muslims. I wished I has copied the post but forgot to. Does anyone know where it is.
Remember, Stephanopoulos was the guy interviewing Zero during the 2008 campaign. In that interview, Zero made mention of his “muslim faith” and Steph just about came out of chair correcting him, “Christian faith!” Freudian slip if there ever was one. How many of us slip and talk about our “muslim faith”? Never happen, that’s like accidentally saying that you smoke crack frequently.
