Just 10 days ago Trump said .he would release his tax returns if Obama released his birth certificate
Well?
In fact, Trump repeated that claim many times. But now…
now he says that he is considering releasing information at the “appropriate time.”
Liar.
Instead. Trump is ramping up his demand for President Obama to release all manner of documents from his life, college “records” first. I say “records” because you know Trump doesn’t want to see Obama’s grades, he wants to see the applications, and the financial aid statements and etc.
Then it will be other documents. And then …more documents. There is no end to what the “carnival barkers” will demand.
I never even thought that President Obama had to born in the US to be a citizen by birth. But he was, and he is.
It never bothered my that much that President Bush was a poor student who rose to be President. I’ve known great students I wouldn’t want elected to anything – a student’s academic performance is not always the best indicator of future suitability for elected office. (It did bother me that Bush was a drunken substance abuser, who was conveniently born again just in time to have a political career. But mostly I just didn’t agree with Bush’s politics.)
That said, Trump should release his academic records. How did he get accepted to Wharton? How did he pay for it? Was his academic performance really enough to get in, or did papa Trump cough up some cash?
While he’s at it, he should ask the same of Pawlenty, Romney, Paul, and Santorum. And then do the same for all the candidates who enter the race.
I do not recall anyone asking to see Presidents’ Bush, Clinton, Bush; Reagan, Ford, or Nixon’s, birth certificate. What is it about President Obama that requires this additional level of scrutiny? Could it be that Obama is ….from Hawaii? First Hawaiian president.
Trump says he wants to talk about substantive things now, like oil prices. We know Trump believes we should take the oil in Libya and Iraq. He hasn’t actually said it yet, but I suspect he would add Iran and Saudi Arabia to the list. He’s prepared to go to war all over the world to “take” oil.
Trump says he wants to talk about China and their trade practices. Ok – start with how and why all the
Trump clothes are made in China.
Trump said the President should Trump President Obama he should “get off his basketball court ….” The President golfs too – should he get off the golf course too?
Trump is not a billionaire. If he was, he’d prove it. I’m not even convinced he’s ever paid income tax in the US. I hope he has, I hope he has the tax returns to prove it.
Trump is unfit to hold office. Let him run for the House, or city council or something. But everyone, GO(T)P included, should acknowledge that Trump is a national joke.
