(CNN) – Donald Trump, the business mogul who continues to claim he is seriously interested in mounting a bid for the White House, says he has doubts about whether President Obama was born in the United States. In an interview with ABC, Trump said he finds it strange “nobody knew” Obama as a young child in Hawaii. “Let me tell you, I’m a really smart guy. 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 said in the interview that aired Thursday. “If I got the nomination, if I decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They'll remember me. Nobody comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It's very strange,” the Celebrity Apprentice host added. “The whole thing is very strange.” Current Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie has said he was a friend of Obama’s parents in Hawaii and remembers when the future president was born. Abercrombie, a former congressman who became governor last December, vowed to produce an original copy of Obama’s birth certificate but abandoned those efforts earlier this year because it is against state law to release private documents, according to his spokeswoman. In 2008, the Obama campaign produced a certification of live birth that reports his birthplace as Honolulu, Hawaii. He attended kindergarten there before moving to Jakarta, Indonesia with his stepfather at age six. Katherine Nakamoto, Obama’s kindergarten teacher, described the then-five-year old to the Maui News in 2009: “He was a cute, likable, heavy build-child. I could visualize Barry smiling, dressed in his long-sleeved, white shirt tucked into his brown Bermuda shorts, and wearing laced shoes." In the interview with ABC, Trump also said he would be willing to spend $600 million on his own presidential bid and ran through his opinions of his possible opponents. Mitt Romney? “He doesn’t resonate.” Tim Pawlenty? “I don't think he will captivate the voters.” Jon Huntsman? “When you work for somebody else, as he has worked for Barack Obama, you don't leave and run against that person. It's very disloyal.” Mike Huckabee? “I really like him. He's the kind of a guy that maybe could really get some votes.” Sarah Palin? “She did fine as the governor. I think, personally, she made a tragic mistake when she left early. I think she's more qualified than Barack Obama was when he became president. Newt Gingrich? “You know why I like Gingrich? He just joined my club in New York.”

What a complete dumb shit. I can see why he appeals to you This CNN article has a great dead-pan correction to Trump’s idiocy: Katherine Nakamoto, Obama’s kindergarten teacher, described the then-five-year old to the Maui News in 2009: “He was a cute, likable, heavy build-child. I could visualize Barry smiling, dressed in his long-sleeved, white shirt tucked into his brown Bermuda shorts, and wearing laced shoes.” Go find the link yourself, Stone. I'm tired of working for free for you idiot birthers.

Poor, unappreciated beacon of truth. Maybe we can pass the plate and raise a statue in your honor, skivvy.
Well, [W.A-R.'s] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
I just finished placing a "statue" of skidmark in the porcelain flusher.
Maybe all of his classmates are in Gitmo, being waterboarded?
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... What is a birther? I'm sure Obama was born. I'm a constitutionalist. I just want proof he was born here. There is no proof he was born here. Even if he was, he wasn't. His dad was a British citizen. Obama was not eligible to be president. Somewhere down the line we will have to address that and nullify every pretend law the Kenyan usurper signed.
There's tons of proof, and his father's citizenship is totally irrelevant. That's what makes you a birther.

So is that why Obama appeals to you????
