Trump: “Very Proud of Myself” for Obama Birth Certificate Disclosure

HeadlineApr 28, 2011

One of the most prominent so-called “birthers,” real estate tycoon and prospective Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, took credit for pressuring the White House to finally release Obama’s birth certificate.

Donald Trump: “Today I’m very proud of myself because I’ve accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish. He should have done it a long time ago. Why he didn’t do it when the Clintons asked for it, why he didn’t do it when everybody else was asking for it, I don’t know.”

Trump is now calling on President Obama to release his college records.
