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."

Right you are solracs!
Melania is just like Donald, an arrogant, opinionated and overbearing individual. The Trumps have to learn to sweep in front of their own door and keep quiet. She is lucky she married and this is how she is a citizen. Back off already Trumps.

Meline is not running for president and would gladly show where she was born. are you forgetting that Obama was adopted by Obama.s second husband anh is namechanged to Sotero. Maybe this is on his real b/c and he is using Obama instead. I feel all open options should be disgussed before Obama runs again. I see no changes from his presidency and he justloves to veto things that he wants, that other peoplemight want. I feel he is a dictator in his own right and is not qualifed to be our president. sorry, but that is my right too.

Expalin Sarah Palin, then. I am tired of hearing teabaggers talk about how she would better the country, when the only thing that she is interested in 'bettering' is the bank account of Sarah Palin. You really think that just because Palin and Boehner promise to give back your money that they actually will, and not throw it all to the military, you people are so gullible and yet you accuse us of not having a clue. And then you also think that by insulting the intelligence of those who do not agree with you that you will somehow turn those same people into your allies. Stop reading Ayn Rand and try basing your beliefs in reality for a change. Or don't. Move to Montana, put up a shack, and write your manifesto; but seriously, do the rest of us really have to deal with you? And what exactly are YOU doing here, twinkletoes?

AND YOU'RE FIRED!!!!! :) X-D

Already done. Wake up and stop listening to lies.

By tony

your right chris,but he pulled the wool over these peoples eyes so they belive everything he says,poor misguided trolls.

By Bebe

He does not have to show it to non significant people like you. He proved it when he first decided to run for President. Idiot do you think that Hillary Clinton, the other Democrat and Republican candidates not question this during the campaign. Boy Americans are getting dumber and dumber.

By POPS

Chris are you stupid or what most legal Americans already know that the President had to show his birth certificate when he was vetted. Has anyone asked to see any past President's birth certificate or is it just because he is black or should I say mixed race.

By Timothy

I have mine, as you MAY have your birth certificate, all we are asking is that Obama show it, what is the big deal, if he has it show it, that is all anyone is saying here. BIRTH CERTIFICATE..show it..yes his mother was an American, but IF he was not born here then is not an American...
