The Donald's birther theory: "He grew up and nobody knew him"
Donald Trump Would Spend $600 Million Of His Own Cash On 2012 Campaign (VIDEO)



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/17/donald-trump-would-spend-_n_836986.html

During an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday, billionaire Donald Trump said he would spend up to $600 million of his own money on a presidential campaign should he decide to run in 2012.

"That's one of the nice things. I mean, part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich," he said in the exclusive interview conducted aboard his private plane. "So if I need $600 million, I can put $600 million myself. That's a huge advantage. I must tell you, that's a huge advantage over the other candidates."

***

Trump said if he runs and fails to secure the Republican nomination to go up against President Barack Obama, he'd consider mounting an independent campaign.

It may perhaps come as a surprise that during the segment Trump expressed a bit of doubt over whether the president was born in the United States. "Everybody that even gives a hint of being a birther," he said. "The reason I have a little doubt, just a little, is because he grew up and nobody knew him."

4. He had no friends
He didn't get married
He wasn't in any schools
He just appeared one day.

Must be magical or something.

I really despise Donald Trump. Please spend all of your money so we no longer have to see your ugly rug again!!!

5. I don't think that $600 million would be nearly enough for Trump.
At least, I hope it wouldn't.

6. I know Obama's Punahou classmates
They'd have a thing or two to say about "nobody knew him."

In high school, he was known as Barry and was totally focused on basketball. And all you have to do is dig out a photo of his Punahou class, and there he is.

11. Trumps other problem
Sarah Palin? “She did fine as the governor. I think, personally, she made a tragic mistake when she left early. I think she's more qualified than Barack Obama was when he became president. -Donald J Trump

15. It is not a rug so stop saying that!
It's a bad combover. Apparently The Donald was an early adopter of hair transplant technology (a/k/a plug job). Unfortunately, they hadn't quite worked all the kinks out. What you see on top of his head is a valiant, though ultimately futile, attempt to deal with the aftermath.
