Pony up, Trump

Having found this morning’s Trump press conference one of the most entertaining spectacles I’ve seen on TV in a while — and certainly more interesting than the ridiculous, ludicrous coverage of the royal whatsit that just drove me from Fox in disgust — I’m left with a question. I wish someone in the press had been quick enough to ask it earlier.

I think Trump clearly won the dueling press conferences. He played the whole situation very well, took questions, commanded the media — and the President of the United States delivered remarks that sounded like a movie president and then skedaddled off the stage. Aside from the fact that the POTUS is now reacting defensively to Trump, who gets to call the next shot in their game, Trump came out elevated and Obama came out diminished.

But before today Donald Trump said, on national TV, that he had sent researchers to Hawaii and they were finding interesting stuff. He said this on the Today Show:

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Trump: I have people that have been studying [the birth certificate issue] and they cannot believe what they’re finding.

He went on to say that these researchers are in Hawaii, and reiterated that they can’t believe what they’re finding.

Ok. Who are these people, and what did they find?

  1. Great point. I smelled malarkey over that comment. Now, let Trump share what he had.

    It’s the first question any credible reporter should ask him.

    It’s a terrific Hollywood TV Comedy Clown production however audiences are known to have short memories (like Trump forgetting to mention this stuff PRIOR to the 2008 election, when it mattered) so six months from now this production will be a forgotten show lost in a re-run channel which noboby watches.

    That said; at this moment I’d love to be a fly on Ari Emanuel’s Hollywood Mogul office wall watching Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks demand Ari shut his L’Orange Comedy Clown production down.

    This Comendy of Hollywood Clowns is hysterically funny and most excellent entertainment; I cannot stop laughing.

    So, can we now file The Donald next to whoever it was that came up with “Sealed vs. Sealed”?

    ["Ok. Who are these people, and what did they find?"]

    They found nothing! Nobody working for Trump or others, have any authorities of any kinds to demand and be shown any of Obama’s statistical birth records. All they’re finding is that somebody yet to be determined formulated a conspiracy back in ’61 to have ‘Obama’ elected first black, foreign, socialist president of the U.S. and with the help of hundreds, maybe thousands of conspirators over the decades….. they pulled it off.

    This is all amusing. I would imagine Donald Trump has been doing the Deputy Dog snicker all day. He knows he hit a nerve and he will continue. It is just too delicious. Trump is enjoying this dance. It is really hard to believe that the Resident is so thin-skinned.

    Trump also said he would show his 1040s if Obama showed his birth cert. That would be a better test of his character.
