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."

I am so confused by Donald Trump and his wife. For someone whose paternal grandparents weren't born here, his mother wasn't born here (if memory serves me right), and his current wife wasn't born here, how can he be so interested in the presidents birth certificate? I can't say that Obama is the best but he most certainly isn't the worst. We lost Nixon due to a scandal and our recently former president brougt us into war and then neglected an entire city that is still under ruins. Time and time again this is why black people play the race game. There is no real reason for this to be taking place. Obama has shown the birth certificate according to Hawaii. So that's it. There is always someone shouting he's a muslim or he's a racist against whites. Where were all of these people when it was time to vote? You all left McCain out to fend for himself. Typical!

Has anyone in the history of all the presidents wanted to see the birth certificate of the President. The answer probably is no this is ridclous. I've have always respected Donald Trump but on this one subject he's being stupid. If he wants to win the election talk about the real issues of the U.S not someones birth certificate.

Donald Trump's little stepford wife should keep her mouth shut, she isn't even from this country and can barely speak english.

By tony

is she running,i didnt think so.

By lokisthunder

I want to see Donald Trumps REAL HAIR you trailer-trash bimbo. Cough it up!

By Michelle

Who the **** does she think she is? She was not born in the country; is she even a citizen? She can barely speak english... Caught a boat, plane and go back where you can from....

By chris

no matter what political party you belong to why refuse to show something unless you have something to hide. however on top of that why isn't a "certification of live birth" good enough. i just looked at my own birth certificate and that of my children which are from 2 different states and they both say "certificate of live birth" one from West Virgina and two from Ohio. so why would that not be good enough for Trump? it is what you are given.

By Richard Ott

I don't care when, or where Barach Obama was born.
I just want to see him as President in 2012, not
some rich millionaire with a reputation for starting
celebrity feuds. He'll be the laughing stock of NBC if
he actually follows through on his Presidential bid.

he will be more than the laughing stock of NBC...try the world.

@ gunnymel you may be the laughing stock , but it has nothing to do with your President, he's a good man ...its people who are supporting Trump that is making you the laughing stock... well that and LA, CA courts...I am Canadian and I think you have a good Pres: but he needs time and help from your other party to get your country back on its feet. I think it looks like they dont care about the people they just want him out, instead of working with him to get things right again from Bush. He cant fix things in a couple of years.

By guynvistaca

By sandy763

LMAO...the thought of the donald (the clown) & melania, (I look like I'm always giving supermodel "face") in the whitehouse is cracking me up.

By Daisy Shaver

This birther BS is getting VERY tired. There enough issues to debate about in leading our country and culture efficiently. Dragging on with this issue just makes the USA look stupid and doesn't get work done.

By gunnymel

We already are a laughing stock.....thanks to obama and his moronic brain-dead supporters!!!!!

By jld

By harry
