Donald Trump Revives Birther Conspiracy On The Five

Maybe they’re just tired of yelling at each other, but the introduction of Donald Trump as a phone-in guest on The Five is just another example of a show devoid of original ideas. Two reasons: Trump’s all over the network already and phone interviews work really well on radio, but tee vee? Not so much, so why devote two whole segments to bad tee vee? The Five predictably sucked up to The Donald—even Bob Beckel—and the love affair was mutual; Trump’s opening bid was, “I have to admit it, you have a great show.” It was after all the hugs and kisses when The Five allowed Trump to go full-bore Birther. View the clip below.

While Greg Gutfeld looked pretty proud of himself for having instigated the Birther question (at 5:24 in the clip below), not a single one of The Five pushed back on this absurdity:

Donald Trump: Look. His [President Obama] mother, to the best of everyone’s knowledge, was never in that hospital. Okay. The document [birth certificate] may have been tampered with, according to many, many people. Okay. He’s got grandmothers and people in his family who say he wasn’t born in this country. Okay. Forgetting all that, do I think he was born here? I have no idea.”

The Five, where disinformation rules.

Donald Chump is a buffoon, worthy only of scorn and mockery.

None of the them would even dare ask Trump about his so called investigators who allegedly went to Hawaii & found out information that was going to shock us, probably because they know he’s full of shit and never sent anyone to Hawaii. Anderson Cooper actually went to Hawaii after Trump was heard to say this on Fox and he talked to several people who said that NOBODY had been asking questions on behalf of Trump or anyone else. The people that they would have had to speak to hadn’t seen or heard from anyone in DT’s group or any other. Trump will say or do anything to get attention, doesn’t matter if it’s a lie as in the one he repeats constantly about having the number one show on NBC, he just likes to hear himself talk. Unfortunately, Fox is always willing to let him speak. I don’t watch Fox but, thankfully, there’s a mute button if he shows up on any other station.

Lakeview Greg commented – Trumpsterâs probably angling for some kind of gig with Fox. Everything he does is designed to make him some money.

You may be on to something, Greg. tRump’s sham of a show didn’t do too well in the ratings this past season. Maybe NBC has informed him that his show may be cancelled? Since tRump isn’t as rich as he’d like everyone to believe, he may be looking for his next gig. He fits in perfectly with the hating liars at FokkksGOPTV.

We should be grateful. Donald is one of the biggest dorkiest nerds in the country. We have been laughing at him for decades now. He spent years trying to be “cool”, which he absolutely is not, at least that is what my Strats tell me, so now he is desperately seeking attention in the political scene. Thank Jesus, I mean Christ, I mean God, because Donald gives us something to laugh about, or at.
Donald, read this: You are a douchebag. You have an open invitation to Denver to show us otherwise. Bring your Lawrence Welk ass out here so we can school you in cool.

“Trump is a self-absorbed, ego maniac, and self-promoting hypocrite. His birth certificate says ‘Born Loser.’ "

Antoinette, would that be the long-form birth certificate? :)

Trump is a self-absorbed, ego maniac, and self-promoting hypocrite. His birth certificate says “Born Loser.”

NOTE TO TRUMP

Next time you write a book, use this title “Time To Shut Up.”

@Cary Hellman. You know The Donald (and Snow Snooki) very well indeed.

Trump has a lot in common with another faux POTUS-wannabe, Sarah Palin.

Obsessed with being in the spotlight. Feigning concern for the American people in order to promote themselves and/or their products. Inability to discuss matters in a mature, rational manner. Present arguments totally lacking in substance, filling the void with shallow, banal, frequently hyperbolic talking points. Make juvenile, petty comments about anyone with an opposing point of view, smugly smiling the whole time. And when all else fails, make crap up.
