Donald Trump – Birther

Donald Trump just may be running for president after all.

In an interview with ABC News' Ashleigh Banfield that aired Thursday, Trump said he had some doubts that President Barack Obama was a U.S. citizen.

"Everybody that even gives any hint of being a birther -- a word you didn't use -- even a little bit of a hint like 'gee, you know, maybe, just maybe this much of chance,' they label them as an idiot," he told Banfield.

"Let me tell you, I'm a really smart guy," Trump continued. "I was a really good student at the best school in the country. The reason I have a little doubt -- just a little -- is because he grew up and nobody knew him."

Trump is a "really smart guy" who has declared bankruptcy three times, but he has his doubts about President Obama's birth certificate.

The Republican primaries haven't even started and only one person has even declared their candidacy for the Republican nomination, but they're already falling over each other to establish their Tea Party street-cred. By the time an actual nominee emerges, they will be a birther, 10ther, rapturist, gay-bashing, consummate Teabagger who wants to make it illegal to be anything other than a rich, white Christian.
