Unless you have been under a rock, I am sure you have heard about what has been going on in politics about Barack Obama’s birth certificate. Recently, President Obama presented his long form birth certificate in order to prove that he was an American citizen. Now there has been a man that has been extremely focused on this piece of paper as he decides whether or not he is going to run for president in 2012. That man is Donald Trump. Now, there have been some words that have been discussed to describe Trump’s behavior as of late. The one word that I will be tackling in this blog post is the word “racist”. Everyone is using the race card as a reason to describe why Donald Trump has been on Obama about his birth certificate. Now if you have already decided that Donald trump is a racist, then this blog isn’t for you. But if you are on the fence about it, I want to give you a brief insight into his behavior and then you can come to a conclusion. In order to do that, we have to look at his past runins with other people.
Let’s start with Mitt Romney. As far as presidential candidates are concerned, Mitt is at the top. He has more power than Trump being in politics so since he couldn’t attack power, he called Romney a “small business guy”. Trump said that he should be the frontrunning candidate for the presidency because he has made more money than Mr. Romney. And any man who knows a guy with money and power knows those are the two best places to hit someone to damage his ego. So by calling Mitt “small business guy”, make Trump look “bigger” than him.
Up next is Jerry Seinfeld. By far the nicest comedian on stage I have ever seen. Seinfeld was supposed to attend a charity event but cancelled due to Donald’s recent behavior about the president’s birth certificate. Donald said this: "What I do feel badly about is that I agreed to do, and did, your failed show, 'The Marriage Ref,' even though I thought it was absolutely terrible," Trump wrote. "Despite its poor ratings, I didn't cancel on you like you canceled on my son and St. Jude. I only wish I did." Mind you, Jerry still made a generous donation to the cause but because he didn’t do what Donald asked him to do (power), he lashed out.
Next up is Robert De Niro. Now I will admit, Robert did say some bad things about Donald Trump. Trump responded by saying that De Niro “wasn’t the brightest bulb on the planet” and also stated ““I like his acting, but in terms of when I watch him doing interviews and various other things, we’re not dealing with Albert Einstein,”
Now let us dig into the Obama fiasco: The first thing you need to understand is that they were talking about his birth certificate LONG BEFORE Trump got involved. Alan Keyes (a black man) was questioning it back in 2009. Why is this important? Well let’s see. You are Donald Trump. You wanna run for president. You have nothing to attack the president on that no one else is already attacking him on. You heard a long time ago about them questioning his birth certificate and it kind of died down. What is the best way to make an impact? You attack something no one else is attacking him on. As a businessman, you know how to play on people’s emotions to get what you want (shout out to Glenn Beck for my last sentence). So you milk the birth certificate until it is made public. That doesn’t make him a racist
It makes him an egotistical prick.
People are looking up to him for standing up for something that most major people have let go of. Now the “grass roots” people who never let it go are now looking up to him. This gives Donald Trump more power. What do people with money and power want? More money and more power and he has got it. So I promise you, it didn’t matter if it was Joe Biden, Sarah Palin, John McCain, or Hilary Clinton. Whoever was the president and they had a little controversy associated with them, he was going to milk it for what it’s worth. That doesn’t make him a racist, he just wants the power.
I will end with this, if his supporters are ok with him being called a racist, don’t expect him to care. As long as it gives him more power, I am pretty sure he will be ok with it.
