Trump In 1999: “I'm Somewhat Liberal On Social Issues, Especially Health Care.” KING: “Now, let's get into some things. The Reform Party, by its name, means reform. You will be leaving, if you run this -- you believe in, what, the Republican Party I believe?” TRUMP: “I'm a registered Republican. I'm a pretty conservative guy. I'm somewhat liberal on social issues, especially health care, et cetera, but I'd be leaving another party, and I've been close to that party.” [Larry King Live, CNN, 10/7/99] OBAMA ADMINISTRATION BIRTHERISM USA Today: Trump “Was Perhaps The Most Prominent Voice Of The ‘Birther’ Movement.” “Trump has been an outspoken critic of President Obama and was perhaps the most prominent voice of the ‘birther’ movement, which asserted, erroneously, that Obama was not a natural-born U.S. citizen. On Monday, he took a shot at the newest entrant to the 2016 Republican field, Jeb Bush, tweeting: ‘Do we really need another Bush in the White House — we have had enough of them.’ If there's one thing Trump brings to the 2016 campaign, it's confidence. ‘I'm the most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far,’ he told The Des Moines Register in a recent interview.” [USA Today, 6/16/15] Trump Questioned Whether President Obama Was Actually Born In The US. “Donald Trump says he’s still not convinced President Obama was born in America, but that he’s not interested in rehashing the issue. ‘I don't know. I really don't know,’ the 2016 Republican presidential candidate told CNN when asked on Thursday. ‘I don't know why he wouldn't release his records.’” [The Hill, 7/9/15] Trump Claimed That Obama’s Grandmother Said That He Was Born In Kenya.TRUMP: “I'm sure the governor really recalls him. I think the governor's taking a bullet for the party. Look, I didn't say that. You have to be born in the country. If he was three years old or two years old or one year old and people remember him, that's irrelevant. You have to be born in the country. There's no birth certificate. There's only a certificate of live birth, which is a totally different thing and a much, much lower standard. There are no hospital records. His own family doesn't know what hospital he was born in in Hawaii. But have you no hospital records in any of the hospitals that he was born there. There are no bills, no room numbers, no nothing. They do that for other people, but they don't have for Obama. His grandmother in Kenya said that he was born in Kenya. Now, he could have been born -- and she said it very strongly -- that he was born in Kenya, she was there when he was born. And the newspapers were a week late”… MALVEAUX: “No, I have to interrupt here because I know what you're talking about. I know the report you're talking about. Within that interview itself -- it has been discredited. There is an interview that was done here, and in the interview, Obama's step grandmother says that she was there when he was born. The interpreter realizes when the questioner again asks him if he was born in Kenya that she was misinterpreted, that that was not correct.”[Newsroom, CNN, 4/7/11] Trump Said His Questions About Obama’s Birth Certificate Had “Absolutely Nothing To Do With Race.” VAN SUSTEREN: “Why aren't you satisfied he was born in the Confidential Page 207
