Trump accuses Obama of playing ‘reverse psychology’ with media on birtherism

On the Tuesday broadcast of CNN’s “The Situation Room,” real estate mogul Donald Trump mixed it up with host Wolf Blitzer over whether or not the so-called “birther” issue is a legitimate issue.

“Obama does not like the issue of where he was born,” Trump said. “His own publisher, as you know, using his words, said that he was born in Kenya and he lived in Indonesia. Of course, now he’s denying that, amazingly so.”

“But I’m not here to talk about that,” he said. “I’m here to talk, as you said you would, about jobs, China, what’s going on with respect to China and how they’re ripping this country, what’s going on with respect to OPEC and how the nations of OPEC are laughing at the stupidity of our country. That’s what I’m here to talk about. You know that’s what I’m here to talk about, and I thought that your introduction was highly inappropriate, but that’s okay because I’ve gotten to know you over the years.”

Despite Blitzer’s protests and recent heat he has taken from Republicans over the issue, Trump accused the president of employing “reverse psychology” to make the “birther” issue seem insignificant.

“It’s something that bothers Obama very much,” Trump said. “I tell you, it’s not an issue that he likes talking about, so what he does is uses reverse psychology on people like you so that you report, ‘Oh gee, he’s thrilled with it.’ He does not like that issue because it’s hitting close to home, you know it and he knows it.”

And Trump’s critique did not come without a few jabs at Blitzer, whose network has been struggling with its ratings.

“You won’t report it, Wolf, but many people do not think it was authentic,” Trump said. “His mother was not in the hospital. There are many other things that came out and, frankly, if you would report it accurately, I think you’d probably get better ratings than you’re getting, which are pretty small.”

Trump went on to dismiss the newspaper announcements around the time of the president’s birth, explaining that was a ploy to get government benefits.

    Our completely " transparent " president dodges questions concerning his scholastic\collegiate/university records . He does not hand over hs multiple passports ( which are not actually his property ( passports belong to the governments which issue them and are subject to immediate examination ) and may be examined by any nation in which he inhabits or is visiting for public examination. Even his driving license is not his property and belongs to the tax payers of whatever state issued the priviledge of driving to him... let us all see those eh? He has not once present a long form birth recording. Too many things from babyhood are missing .... And as well.. we all know his name " used to be " Barry Sotero... in what state did he legally change his name to Barack Obama? Let us see the court records completely and openly . What about this two SS #s? The current chairperson of DC is now charged with a crime for lying on federal loan applications... has our president ever borrowed money from US tax payers??? Let us all see what SS #s he used.. what names he used ... and so on and on...

    What if this particular "president" turns out to be an illegal alien?

    Anyone in congress etc etc who knew should be prosecuted alongside him ... all funds to Africaa must cease forever and retroactively so he and all his family and friends and political allies cannot benefit nor any of his cohorts if any ... enough is enough.

    Our founding fathers, would have put Obummer, and whatever election boards which are to blame, on trial for TREASON, over the birther issue alone. This goes to show how "lawless" The United Slaves of America is becoming, and how even more "bad things" are probably about to happen. Shame on the Republi-crat Party for not making this more of an issue. How is this not a severe "Constitutional crisis?"

    What? TV is reality now? If TV government official story say that 9-11 wasn't an inside job, if TV says Obummer was born here, we should just forget about it and move on? What about all those, who aren't brainwashed by TV, or who don't believe the "idiot tube" TV? Off to the FEMA "re-education camps" for us?

    If we are to be a country under the Rule of Law, then especially the politicians should NOT be exempted. They pass all these stupid "laws." Let them live in the mess they make for us. Take away their cushy retirements, and put them on Social inSecurity like the rest of us well-dressed serfs on the federal plantation.

    Where's the legitimate birth certificate? Why was Obummer's name allowed to appear on any ballot? Why is this not a SCANDAL of the highest order?

    That proves nothing. All Obama or the State of Hawaii need do is produce a copy of the original birth certificate that stands up to scrutiny not a piece of paper stating they have one like the one they sent to Arizona. Sorry, I don't trust the Hawaiian officials on this. Given all the history of Obama and Michelle making references to him being born in Kenya, and the recent discovery of a book pamphlet stating he was born in Kenya an authentic certified Hawaiian birth certificate is not too much to ask for.
  • Bella Obama F... 2012/05/30 16:24:28

    Obama's mother has never been to Kenya. Hawaii Health Director Loretta Fuddy and Dr. Alvin Onaka, the State Registrar are the officials who have attested to the authenticity of the BC. In addition to the republican governor of Hawaii also attesting to the authenticity of Obama's BC.

    Oh, but the New World Order criminal elitists, are masters of deception, and I hear that people in other countries say, that Americans are among the most gullible and uninformed people on the earth. No doubt they might produce an even better forgery of a birth certificate, that would still show signs of being created long-after-the-fact.

    Just the "birth in Kenya" admissions you mentioned, are enough to put Obama on trial for TREASON, along with whatever co-conspirators may also be found to be guilty in this cabal plot to destroy our country. Let him produce his evidence at his trial.

    Anybody got some rope?

    But what do we do about the long list of possible NWO puppet "Presidents" that we have had since when? JFK was our last real President, somebody said. (Ronald Reagan being a curious exception?) When will the American people put on their sackcloth and repent before almighty God, so that God can heal our land?

    But it's appears rather unlikely that the people will go against the NWO deception and elect Ron Paul, so don't I need to get out before November, when we elect Obam-ney, that is, if some false flag isn't used as an excuse to suspect elections, and make Obummer President for life?

    According to US law at that time, his mother had to be 19 yrs.old to convey citizenship to him at his birth. He had dual citizenship because his father was a Kenyan in the US on a student visa. Dual citizenship is covered under the 14th Amendment. Hawaii has always been loose with paperwork and many illegals have Hawaiian birth certificates. He was not "a natural born citizen" at birth. Apparently a lot of people do not research the laws.

    It's not entire clear what you are saying? Not even "conveying citizenship to Obummer at birth," is adequate, for the Constitution is more specific than that, as to what sort of citizenship is required. The founding fathers did not think that foreigners would be trustworthy enough to serve in the position of President, since they may have a "foreign" allegiance. It does appear, THEY WERE CORRECT.

    Are you saying that Obummer is a legitimate dual-citizen, but still does not meet the Constitutional requirement to run for the office of President? So why wouldn't he obey the law, and run for something else? Because treachery was his aim all along?

    Back then, wasn't dual-citizenship frowned upon, or disallowed, because it meant, you couldn't be loyal to the country you live in? If so, I think that way of thinking is outdated, for individuals need that freedom now, in order to play one anti-freedom country against another, and make countries to compete for good citizens. Also because modern technology, such as airplanes, has made many people of some financial means, more mobile. It should be far easier in today's "globalized" world, to get and retain, dual- or even triple-citizenship. However, an old ban on dual-citizenship perhaps should still apply to leaders in the highest positions? Questions as to which country or influence they are loyal to, are as relevant as ever, if not more so.

    US State Department Services Dual Nationality

    The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a citizen of two countries at the same time. Each country has its own citizenship laws based on its own policy.Persons may have dual nationality by automatic operation of different laws rather than by choice. For example, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. citizen parents may be both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth.

    A U.S. citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. citizen may not lose the citizenship of the country of birth.U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship. However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship. In order to lose U.S. citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. citizenship.

    Intent can be shown by the person's statements or conduct.The U.S. Government recognizes that dual nationality exists but does not encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may cause. Cla...

Claims of other countries on dual national U.S. citizens may conflict with U.S. law, and dual nationality may limit U.S. Government efforts to assist citizens abroad. The country where a dual national is located generally has a stronger claim to that person's allegiance.

    However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries. Either country has the right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there.Most U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States. Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign country to use its passport to enter and leave that country. Use of the foreign passport does not endanger U.S. citizenship.Most countries permit a person to renounce or otherwise lose citizenship.

    Information on losing foreign citizenship can be obtained from the foreign country's embassy and consulates in the United States. Americans can renounce U.S. citizenship in the proper form at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad.

    Christians, or should I say Messianics, of which I am, should have no problem with dual-citizenship, since our loyalty is to God anyway, and in doing good to people, so we are already in-effect "global citizens." Generally, dual-citizens, would be presumed to abide by the reasonable laws and customs, of both countries, or at least the country in which they currently reside?

    Of course, I think that the NWO criminal elitists, don't want the common people to enjoy the possible benefits of being "global citizens," as they act like they are better than everybody else, and that only filthy-rich NWO elitists should get any real benefits.
