In this post by Alyssa, she outlines Donald Trump's cry for attention by pushing to see President Obama's birth certificate. In my opinion, since Obama made it through the elections, this issue is old news and shouldn't even be discussed. I'm surprised that Obama actually showed his birth certificate, and didn't just brush him off.
I don't know if I agree that this confrontation was brought on by Obama's skin color. I really think that this was just an annoying attempt by Trump to get some attention.
It is hard to believe that anyone, from either political party would favor Trump as their preferred candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. I agree with Alyssa, that this seriously sounded like a joke. I think that Trump probably hurt his cause more then helped it by being a nuisance. This is a great example of how celebrities sometimes get way too full of themselves. Maybe his money has bought him all sorts of luxuries and beautiful women, but money should in no way be the only prerequisite for a presidential candidate. Yes, celebrities and politics do not mix.
