Trump Challenges Obama By Providing His Birth Certificate In 1 Hour Even before he entered the political arena, Donald Trump was vocal about his disapproval and distrust of President Barack Obama. Trump was notorious for ridiculing the Obama administrations approach to economic theories, and he often accused Obama of being a liar who was hiding something from the American people. In March of 2011, Trump appeared on Fox News for an interview with Greta Van Susteren regarding President Obamas birth certificate. Trump stole the show when he told the audience that he was able to get his birth certificate in less than an hour. Why then, he asked, is Obama yet to show anything to the American people? He doesnt have it, Trump commented. He spent millions of dollars on lawyers trying to get out of the issue. They give whats called a certificate of live birth, which doesnt even have a signature on it, and anybody can get a certificate of live birth. Its nothing to do with a birth certificate. Trump went on to argue that he actually hopes the president was born here, but found it disturbing that he was unable to produce any documents. You have to be born in the United States, Trump argued. I hope he was born in the United states. But I want to get rid of the word hope. I want to know for sure. What do you think? Do you agree with Trump?
