Donald Trump is a grandstanding, racist idiot

Don't you hate it when evidence doesn't lie?
I was watching Anderson Cooper 360 last night as they investigated the issue of whether President Obama was born in Hawaii. I thought for certain he was going to say he wasn't born in Hawaii but he had plenty of evidence to the contrary. As usual, Anderson does a thorough job and convinced me and my inner journalist that Obama is, in fact, an American. Yes, I'm a trained journalist.


So what's up with Donald Trump? He's having a hissy fit about something he clearly knows absolutely nothing about. True to any accuser's style, he provides zero names, zero facts, cites ambiguous sources and says he'll reveal his evidence and details at a later date. Bottom line: He's got a whole lotta nothin'.


Paul Tuchman, reporter for AC360,  on the other hand, interviewed actual government officials who, on camera, stated that they were satisfied that Obama was born in Hawaii. The head of the department of health services in Hawaii who is a Republican said she has seen the long form of Obama's birth certificate, which doesn't specify the religious affiliation of his parents, and can say with confidence there is no doubt Obama is an American-born President.


Detractors hope that it does, in fact, state his family religion as but even if it did, that cannot be cause to disqualify anyone from the office of President. If anything, it will fire up white Republican extremists into believing we have a Muslim president who swore ON A BIBLE his oath of office.


Tuchman interviewed a newspaper spokesperson about publishing birth notices. He stated clearly it was and still is impossible for anyone to call the newspaper with news of a live birth and expect it to be published because they called to report it. The policy in 1961 was they only published those births provided to them by the department of health. Period. 


Further, Tuchman found a person who was listed four names below Obama's newspaper birth announcement. They went with this person to the Hawaii department of health and requested an official copy of his birth certificate for which AC360 paid the $7 fee.


Imprinted with an official seal of the department of health for the state of Hawaii, a line across the bottom of the certificate states clearly that in a court of law the certificate is irrefutable evidence of a live birth in the state of Hawaii. Obama has this copy of his birth certificate.


Addressing Trump directly
My question to you is what the hell is your problem? Is it because he's black? Is it that his father was Muslim and a native of Kenya? Are you irritated that a man who is president of the United States has "Hussein" for a middle name? What irritates you more: That his mother was white, his father is dark black or that Obama's the product of an interracial marriage, a true American?


Are you a racist or you just don't like black people in places of power? Would you rather Obama shine your shoes, serve you dinner, drive you around town, do your laundry, pick cotton or wipe your ass? For someone who purports to not being racist, you sure do come off as one. Examining the evidence, i.e., your tone of voice, baseless accusations, ambiguous statements, hate messages, you sure do sound like a closet racist to me. 


You know what a closet racist is, don't you? Someone who feels they need to say they're not racist when all of the evidence points to the contrary. How many blacks are in your boardroom? What percentage of your management force is nonwhite? When you retire, will you name someone who is nonwhite to succeed you? Probably not. A closet racist is someone who, among their innermost circle, talks about how they will never let nonwhites run their corporation in front of their nonwhite maids, butlers and house staff.


This just in ...
I have news for you, Trump. You'll never be president. You'll never have that much power. You will never hear "Hail to the Chief" when you enter into a room. You will never have a secret service detail. No officers of the armed forces will ever salute you. No matter how big the flag that flies over your home is, you will never be called Mr. President because you are not of that ilk. 


You are white trash at heart with a little education, power and alot of money in the bank. You will never be known for consensus building, diplomacy, compromise or civil discourse. Even Rodney King would understand why people wouldn't get along with you. 


Your problem is you can't say to Obama, "You're fired" because you didn't hire him. You don't get to control everything and everyone. Get over yourself. You're not that important. 


You are, in fact, the biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool. All evidence points to the fact that he is a legitimate citizen of the United States so there is no reason for this ridiculous argument. You just like throwing your weight around. My late husband would call you a shit disturber. You're a bully, plain and simple. Given the chance you would crush people with the stroke of a pen and that's why you will never be president of the United States, leader of the free world, the most powerful man in the world. 


Obama would never stoop so low as to say this out loud but I'm sure he's thinking it: How ya like me now?


PS No, I didn't vote for Obama and YES I voted.
