A few things of note here. This proves Trump has been completely wrong in questioning Obama's citizenship and related qualification to be President, above and beyond the fact that Obama was elected by a majority of Americans. And yet there is no apology for advancing this idiocy. He's glad to be rid of this issue? What's left for him to talk about? And look at him with this new makeover! The real pearl though is the pledge to release his own financial and tax information, and this is what will stop the Trump train dead in its tracks. Any release of such information by Trump will expose him as a fake "billionaire" who is on TV...because he needs the money...and people believe his bullshit.
If there is a debate among a group of GOP candidates and the question is..."alright, whoever has run a few casinos into bankruptcy, raise your hand," Trump will be the only one raising his hand.
Then they could ask..."okay, who has bankrupted more than one publicly traded company?" And again Trump would be the only one raising his hand.
Finally they could ask..."right, who decided to build a third casino while the first two were going bankrupt?" There are quite a few questions like this (I can think of another 10 right now but my kids need a bath).
On the other hand, being proud while being wrong is probably going to be an extremely important quality for our next President so this will actually give him a short term boost. But no way in hell he runs and shows everyone that tax return that is missing the billions of dollars he is purported to have handy. Trump would rather be embarrassed by putting on this fake show of running to up his ratings than be embarrassed by the truth about his real financial status. Plus it's possible that Trump cannot be embarrased period. If he gets together with Palin, my dreams could still come true. Cross your fingers America.
Real estate mogul Donald Trump will honor a pledge to release his own financial and tax information if President Obama released his birth certificate "at the appropriate time," he told ABC News today.
"That's something I'd been thinking about doing anyway," he said of the recent challenge from ABC "Good Morning America" anchor George Stephanopoulos to release the personal information if Obama did the same.
A giddy Trump earlier in the day could barely wait to meet and greet the people of New Hampshire today, impressing upon a group of Portsmouth manufacturing workers the role he and his supporters believe he played in Obama's decision to release this morning his original, long-form birth certificate.
"Oh, by the way, I don't know if you heard? Did you hear?" Trump asked Wilcox Industries Corp. employees in reference to the birth records.
"I am so proud of myself. I got this guy to release his birth certificate. I'm really, really happy," Trump told the employees before a lunch-time New Hampshire Republican Party fundraiser in downtown Portsmouth.
Wilcox Industries makes night-vision goggles and other tactical products for the Pentagon.
Trump, 64, also condemned in the sharpest possible words Obama's fiscal policies and the country's economic competitiveness with China. "China is raping this country," he told the Wilcox employees.
But the "birther" issue was uppermost on Trump's mind when he touched down in New Hampshire earlier today in a helicopter bearing his name, immediately claiming credit for forcing Obama to release his birth certificate.
"I am really honored, frankly, to have played such a big role in hopefully, hopefully, getting rid of this issue," Trump told reporters, his helicopter sitting behind him at the Portsmouth airport.
He said he still wants to see the birth certificate, released while he was en route to New Hampshire, but now wants to talk about weightier issues such as oil prices.
