What Do You Get for the Man Who Has Everything?



A big bag of shut up, that's what.
Donald Trump got a little bit birther-curious in his interview with ABC News, saying of President Obama's time growing up in Hawaii: "The reason I have a little doubt, just a little, is because he grew up and nobody knew him."

Trump was speaking with Ashleigh Banfield in an interview that aired Thursday morning, and said "that anybody that even gives any hint" of not believing Obama was born in Hawaii, "they label them as an idiot."

"Let me tell you, I'm a really smart guy," Trump said. "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."

"You may go back and interview people from my kindergarten," he continued. "They'll remember me. Nobody comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It's very strange. The whole thing is very strange."
Please enjoy your gift, Mr. Trump. No, really. PLEASE ENJOY IT. Immediately.
