Donald Trump was today forced to launch a frantic damage limitation campaign after a ploy to question President Barack Obama's place of birth backfired. He joined the legion of Americans demanding Mr Obama prove he was born on U.S. soil by issuing his own birth certificate, only to have its authenticity questioned because it lacks an official seal.
Now Mr Trump's lawyer has defended the tycoon's New York origins - by pointing out there are hospitals named after his family in the city, but the only ones named after Mr Obama are in Africa.
Donald Trump produced a birth certificate only for New York officials to say it wasn't an official one Evidence: Mr Trump produced this document showing he was born on June 14, 1946. But it is a hospital certificate of birth, rather than an official birth certificate snip And he said it was a 'little bit odd' there were hospitals named after Mr Obama in 'Ghana', but none in New York. The president's family is in fact from Kenya.
Foreign connection: Mr Trump with his Scottish mother Mary MacLeod Mr Trump proudly issued his birth certificate yesterday, which states he was born at New Yorks Jamaica Hospital on June 14, 1946 to parents Mr and Mrs Fred C. Trump. The move came after he joined 'birthers' - the legion of Americans who say Mr Obama is not a U.S. citizen - in demanding the president produce his birth certificate. The 65-year-old property tycoon and Apprentice host said: 'It took me one hour to get my birth certificate.Its inconceivable that, after four years of questioning, the president still hasnt produced his birth certificate.
But Mr Trump was soon trumped when eagle-eyed New Yorkers noted something missing on the document and complained to current affairs blog Politico.

I saw W’s dental charts from the Alabama guard.
WTF America?
I was thinking the same thing. This is all orchestrated by Team Trump.
OMG. Now that’s rich.
They making the argument, Inadvertently, that Mubarak Obama hasn’t produced a long form BC.
This is going to be good.
“They fell for it. Now he will release his full certificate”
That’s exactly right. He’s intentionally messed up to keep it alive for another news cycle.
Liberals are very predictable.
Was Donald’s mother a US citizen at the time of his birth?
Epic fail
Exactly. Was it Politco or Hot Air that also got duped?
They began claiming what Trump released was hardly proof.
Ooops.
Gotta hand it to the Trumpster.

Trump releases long form birth certificate.
Most importantly, his father. At the time of Barry, Jr.'s birth, Kenya was a British Colony (as I understand it), which made Barry, Sr. a subject of the British Crown. I don't know what the exact difference between a British Citizen and a Subject of The British Crown, but the point is, even if Barry, Jr. WAS born in Hawaii, he would also have been a subject of The British Crown or a British Citizen since the laws of the day assigned citizenship based on Paternity.

Old news, Daily Mail. You’ve been Trumped.
So basically The Donald got the left to admit the COLB isn’t sufficient?
And, by the way, where is Barry’s Hospital Certificate of birth? And which hospital was it? Have we gotten that straight yet?
Did you catch Trump on with Greta last night. It may be on YouTube..he made some great points....Best one, IMHO, “how come we haven’t heard from ONE doctor, ONE nurse, at the hospital, who remembers being there for the birth..most would be in their 70s-80 now, and surely would recall being thee for the birth of a now-president of the US
