Melania Trump Wants to See Obama's Birth Certificate: 'Does He Have It?'

By Rob Shuter Posted Apr 21st 2011 08:04PM

Melania Trump will stand by her husband whether he decides to run for president or not, but the model-turned-jewelry designer isn't about to reveal which way The Donald is leaning. "It's too soon," she told me this week, noting that he has to wait until 'Celebrity Apprentice' finishes its run. "Of course we talk about it and I'll support him no matter what he decides."

The possible First Lady also has her husband's back when it comes to the issue he's getting the most mileage out of lately: President Barack Obama's birth certificate. She strongly defends Donald's focus on the hot-button topic and assures he's not alone in his suspicion.

"Well, I think it's not only my husband that wants to see the birth certificate," she said. "I think it's a lot of American people who voted for him and who didn't vote for President Obama. They want to see it."

Melania says people are just downright frustrated. "They ask him where it is and why he doesn't show it. Does he have it? Where is it? Why not show it? What's the big deal? I could show my birth certificate. What's the problem?"

She told me she keeps 5-year-old son Barron's certificate in a drawer near his passport!

Hawaii state officials swear that they have inspected Obama's original document and a copy, the Certification of Live Birth, was released during the presidential campaign.

Even so, Donald has taken up the birth certificate, making it one of his favorite issues while hitting the interview circuit. Just today, he called in to Fox News to say "I think I've made my decision" on running and he vowed to continue to talk about Obama's birth.

This focus on the issue has puzzled some, but its popularity doesn't surprise Melania. "So, the media really latched on to it. They really like that talk," she said. "But he's also for bringing jobs back and the economy and taking care of people that are working so hard and to bring this country back to where it once was."

Melania says the prospect of being First Lady and living in the White House is "something that's exciting but we never know what will happen."

And she lavished her possible predecessor with praise for her style and said she'd look great in her 'Melania' jewelry and timepieces line (which she's pitching on QVC on Monday, April 25 at 1 PM and 11 PM ET).

"Yes, she has very nice style! She would look great in my jewelry," she said. "Anybody, no matter who you are, the First Lady, your mom at home with a child, your a businesswoman. You can wear my jewelry."

HIS MOTHER IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. HE COULD BE BORN IN ANY COUNTRY AND HE WOULD BE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.

Or, he doesn't have to prove anything and he is laughing at the birthers.

By Patsy Teal

Enough already, these words of blatant racism have gone far enough. If you're dissatisfied with President Obama show it at the polls. All of this ignorance and stuipity is way over the top!

By Reality Bites

Because it is so much easier to believe that Obama's under age mother at 9 months pregnant left her parents in Hawaii and traveled somehow secretly to Kenya during a time of civil unrest so that she could give birth in substandard conditions among strangers and her husband's Kenyan wife and then somehow sneak a newborn back into the country within days without any paper trail and somehow obtain a birth certificate that says Honolulu vs Kenya as the place of birth as well as plant hospital issued newspaper announcements and have no one remember that she bottled in her small town full of family friends. All so that someday her mixed raced child with a scary foreign name might run for President which would require a blind eye from the Bush administration.. why would not use the Patriot Act to investigate a senator with THAT name and a loose working relationship with a know domestic terrorist who had access to military bases in a time of war? Add the McCain campaign who investigated. The Clinton campaign who investigated.

Smarten up people.

He released the certificate. It says place of birth Honolulu HI. It was issued 3 days after his birth which was standard. It was verified by the director of health and services in Hawaii as valid. Accept that you are wrong and looney tunes and get over it.

Your very existence represents a waste of oxygen, nothing more, nothing less... What an ignorant fool you are...

By Patty J

Are you serious..? Why do you think President Obama was born in Africa..? Because, he has a father from Africa...? Why not see that his mother is from AMERICA...I truly believe. people like you, hate the fact that the President of the United States is Black. AS FOR DONALD TRUMP...WHY DON'T HE SEND HIS WIFE BACK WHERE SHE IS FROM..SHE IS NOT A UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CITIZEN. YET, HE IS THE ONE WITH THE BIGGEST MOUTH, AND, NOW, HE HAS HIS THIRD WIFE SPEAKING UP, AND, SHE DON'T BELONG HERE..

By pattyj

You and Donald, and, his wife is full of it...and, I am not talking about BRAINS. How can Melania talk, when, she is not a citizen of the United States. SHE NEEDS TO SHUT HER BIG TRAP, AND, GO TO HER NATIVE HOME...

Sounds like you and Bubble head Melanie and hubby need to get togeather as none of you know what you are talking about!

By solracs

Melania you don't get to question anyone about being an American, since you are not one yourself. Besides you married an alien, have you seen Donald's Hair do, that is not from this Earth. Give me a break. Lets increase Donald's Taxes to about 80% along with all the other Billionaires in America and balance the budget. Birthers
give me flatulence.

By car123

solracs, I agree with you. Who does she think she is questioning an American about where he was born? Her and Donald need to go climb back in the hole they came out of.

By A Donald Fan

Your husband's Father whacked off on a fence post and the sun hatched "The Donald" so obviously "The Donald's Birth Certificate is forged .... by the way is the animal that "The Donald" wears on his head as a hat a mutt or a pure bred critter?

By IngeePie

HAHAHAHA Hilariously funny..sadly true!! She should stay silent. OMG! I just realized if The Donald were pres, SHE would be the First Lady!? Now that's a scary thought.
