What Is Donald Trump, Newborn Birther, Trying To Hide From Us?

3/29 UPDATE: Possible proof of Trump U.S. birth uncovered

What is Donald Trump hiding?

The multimillionaire developer has, overnight, become a leading voice of the “birther” movement, members of which doubt that President Barack Obama was born in the United States (and, thus, is unable to produce an authentic U.S. birth certificate).

“It’s inconceivable that, after four years of questioning, the president still hasn’t produced his birth certificate,” Trump told Newsmax. “I’m just asking President Obama to show the public his birth certificate. Why’s he making an issue out of this?" To prove how easy it was for a household employee to find his birth certificate, Trump, 64, crowed, “It took me one hour to get my birth certificate.”

As seen above, he provided the conservative web site with what he purports to be his birth certificate.

Except the document is not an official New York City birth certificate, but rather a document generated by Jamaica Hospital, where Trump’s mother Mary reportedly gave birth in June 1946. Official birth certificates are issued (and maintained) by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Office of Vital Records.

So, what is Trump trying to conceal?

On a possibly related note, Jamaica Hospital has been the recipient of significant financial largesse from the Trump family. In fact, the Queens institution includes the Trump Pavilion, a nursing and rehabilitation facility that was named for Mary Trump.

[If The Donald wants to hunt in his sock drawer for the official birth certificate, he should look for a document that includes an official Department of Health stamp and resembles city forms like ones used decades ago, like this or this.]

How about this?? Trump is related to Bush Senior, B.O. and all the winners and candidates of this 30 year Bush Senior White House! I just read a "Dear Abby" column praising him!! What gives?? I have lost ALL respect for him! Did he ever have any?? He is doing his part to bring in Grandpa Bush's NWO! However, Yahshua the Son of Yahweh is returning SOON and no NWO can stop Him! HalleluYah! This ancient Hebrew word means "Praise ye Yah"!
Whoopi Goldberg cried racism when Trump said "I want to see the birht certificate". Should Obama be held to a lower standard than previous candidates because he's black?
To hell with the damn birth certificates. Obama's the President for at least nearly 2 more years and nothing is going to change that except for the unthinkable... More importantly, I'd love to see the school records all the way thru law school for Obama and the same for Trump thru his business degree era. I suspect that there is much being hidden from each man's educational past.
That which we call a birther, by any other name, would still be an irrational , TFH-wearing bigot living in a state of denial. Every time a birther is shown a web link to, or hard copy of Obama's official birth certificate (you know, the one that is recognized by the federal government when applying for a passport), they pull the equivalent of a 9-year old covering his ears and shouting "nyah, nyah, nyah, I can't hear you!" You can lead right wingers to reality, but you cannot make them embrace it. Each state has its own standard for an official record of birth. You have to look at the motivations of the majority of the birthers to understand why they simply cannot "let go". Fundamentally, it comes down to the following mindset: "I cannot accept THAT man in the White House because... . (fill in the blank)." Just about ANY reason will do -- any excuse that will legitimize their race-based outrage. If it wasn't about a birth certificate, it would be about his middle name. (He's a closet Muslim, you know.) In addition, there are a handful of unscrupulous politicians and pundits who, although not necessarily racist themselves ,have no problem capitalizing on the bigotry of others by fueling their fear and hatred of Obama in order to score political points or further a personal agenda. Enter "The Donald" ... Why do I get the feeling that Trump has a bust of PT Barnum proudly displayed on his mantle? He seems to regard the vast majority of Americans as a bunch of suckers, eagerly clinging to every self-serving comment that he makes, regardless of whether his "insights" have any basis in fact. Trump is little more than Meg Whitman with a necktie. "Vote for me. I'm filthy rich, I'm bombastic, I don't believe in federal regulations, I know how to cut subordinates down to size, .... and by the way, did I say I'm rich?" No surprise that Republicans cannot learn from history, since they are continually revising it.
In my reply, I'll be sure to avoid the sweeping generalizations about lilly livered liberals that you appoint to all "birthers." I will go on record as saying that some leftists are not elitists, but most are. Want proof? Let's examine your asinine post. The fact that any American would like to see official proof of President Obama's birth state does not make them bigot's at all. That is a generalization that the left pulls all the time and frankly most people are tired of it. The only difference now is that folks are starting to see if as it happens. Let's delve in deeper. The "Birther" wants proof that a man who does not embrace typical American Values, is actually an American. The Constitution (the law) clearly states that the person in this position needs to be a natural born citizen. Since the Birther stands in opposition to the leader of the left, leftist like your self come to his aid by playing that race card, ASSUMING that the motivation for wanting to see proof that our number one executive is abiding by the same law we are required to follow is somehow because he is 1/2 black. This is a distraction technique. The purpose is to take your attention from the fact that Obama's integrity is in question by discrediting the source calling them racist. I call you elitist because you have no proof that the request has any basis in racism, yet you expect everyone to believe it, simply because YOU said it. And since you said it, it is then beyond question. To that I say,"Just who the he11 do you think you are?" When will you all give it up? It is the oldest trick in the book, and frankly it makes you all very predictable and it is very offensive. (cont'd)
The motivation of Birthers is to know the truth. This is a simple request. Just produce an official copy of your birth certificate....that's all. Is it pride that keeps him from producing it? Does he think, like you do, that he is beyond question and should not be required to abide by the law? What is it? Personally, I really don't care about the birth certificate. In my opinion, this is just another blatant disregard of our founding documents in a very long list, the most recent being the usurping of the authority of Congress to declare war and placing our military in a very offensive position in Libya. All of which are impeachable offenses. Now, I'm sure your blood is boiling and you want to start an irrational attack in response, just know, I'm using factual arguments. You are just making yours up as you go. (cont'd)
Finally, because YOU said it, we are to believe that "rightwingers" are irrational and "leftwingers" should be regarded as being right in every argument....I mean after all, they are intellectuals and obviously know more than the rest of us, so their positions on topics should not be questioned. God forbid you supply any proof supporting your opinions. There are several examples that prove you wrong in this regard. Literally, I could be here for the next two weeks stating several reason why Leftwingers are irrational. But, in the interests of time, I will simply say that our nation is in unprecedented and very dangerous debt that could threaten our way of life. The right wants to do something about it, although not quickly enough, and the left wants to continue with unprecedented, frivolous spending that will only hasten our demise. Now ask yourself, who truly is irrational. People like you need to step back and take another look at things. At some point you got it in your mind the way you are going to believe and lost all objectivity to the point that the facts could be staring you straight in the face, and you still won't see them. What has to happen to get through to you, and people like you?
TRUMP WILL PROVIDE HIS VITAL STAT BIRTH CERT ALONG WITH HIS HOSPITAL BIRTH CERT WHEREAS OBAMA PROVIDED NOTHING CLOSE AS A ANNOUNCEMENT OF LIVE BIRTH MEANS LESS THAN EITHER OF TRUMPS...ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN KNOWS OBAMA IS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN BORN IN KENYA AND IS ALSO A MUSLIM
@Wolverine45 I would go as far as to say that everyone with just half a brain would believe the things you have said. This may be one of the few times in your young life that you are correct so by all means enjoy it. What more can the president do other than to offer the only document that Hawaii issues as a birth certificate? If this were not sufficient, he would not be president. Do you really think the Republicans that are viciously trying to win control of the entire government would have just said, "eh thats enough for us." at the time if it weren't?? Obama has enough to be judged on besides silly petty accusations seen from the perspective of people unacquainted with the various cultures that live in the non-rural parts of this country. Not everyone speaks with a twang in the United States and not everyone is a white guy named John. And btw, whats with the angry tone? I thought ignorance was bliss?
"Obama has enough to be judged on.." True. A FATUOUS FAIL. By the way, what's with the angry tone? You sound a real hater.
