Count Donald Trump among the legion of “birthers” who continue to question whether President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.

In an interview today with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” the developer, reality TV star and maybe Republican presidential hopeful said he doubts Obama was born in the United States. "Everybody that even gives a hint of being a birther … even a little bit of a hint, like, gee, you know, maybe, just maybe this much of a chance, they label them as an idiot. Let me tell you, I'm a really smart guy," Trump told GMA. "He grew up and nobody knew him. You know? When you interview people, if ever I got the nomination, if I ever decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They'll remember me,” he continued. “Nobody ever comes forward. Nobody knows who he his until later in his life. It's very strange. The whole thing is very strange."

Obama was born Aug 4, 1961, in Honolulu and notices of his birth appeared in both the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and the Honolulu Advertiser about 10 days later. After questions about his birthplace were raised during the 2008 presidential campaign, the state Department of Health released a certificate of live birth, and the administration of then-Gov. Linda Lingle, a Republican who campaigned for Obama’s opponent, Sen. John McCain, issued a statement “verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen."

However, the assurances did not satisfy so-called “birthers” who contend he was born in Kenya, his father’s homeland, and therefore not eligible to be president. In 2008, Hawaii Business magazine published a kindergarten class picture from Noelani Elementary School in Manoa that included a young “Barry” Obama. In 2009, the Star-Bulletin published an interview with a former classmate of Obama’s from kindergarten and third grade at Noelani.

For the record: I knew him at Noelani Elementary School. I didn't know him well but I remember him. I also know about 40 people who knew him at Punahou, including teachers and students.

For mercy's sake, these people are too stupid and arrogant to be believed! How many people do you need to confirm a fact before you accept it?

7. Donald Trump is a TVEE personality clown. One of the first great

swindlers under Reagan's rule. You know, the second worse president in history.

8. The birther story is about the stupidest thing I have every heard in my life.

Like Obama's mother, I was born in 1943. There is no way an American woman my age would have gone to Kenya and had a child. No way, Jose. It's just crazy.

Obama's grandmother and uncle remember or remembered him. What nonsense. Has anyone ever asked someone who worked with Obama's grandmother at that time? Has anyone asked Obama's uncle? Has anyone asked any of his other relatives?

This is just so stupid. I wish that someone in Obama's family would put an end to this crazy idea.

9. Trump is such an idiotic narcissist. I hate his scrunched up face! nt

10. Trump is trying to elimate Obama from the race via 'radiation'

Donald Trump to President Obama: Go to Japan!

The Donald has a message for the president — get on a plane to Tokyo, stat!

12. Trump smart as a stump

Go to hell Don and take your tea-totting birther friends with you.

I hope he runs. I hope he finishes well behind Ron Paul.
Not because I like Paul, but after his Paul is unelectable speech I think it would be hysterical if he finished behind the guy who's not electable.
