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."

Tony and Chris.............the "I'm a RETARD" school is down the street. The simple fact that you can't accept it has been presented to the gov't as PROOF is because your RACIST. Got it? And you wanna talk FAKE? How about that squirrel that died on Trumps head, and he left it there 'cause there was no sense in admitting he was bald,old,dumb and ugly. No lie there, huh? His wife is a supermodel, but at what age did he cull her?....12? Sounds like hiring on a pedophile to me, little boys......

I think the whole birther issue should be put to rest. It's over and done already. BUT - to call someone RACIST is taking things way of out context.

I am a white woman, who happens to loathe Obama - "not for the color of his skin, but for the content of his character".

I am a huge supporter of Herman Cain. And before you start calling me a racist - look him up and get an education!!!

I give Melania credit for having sexual intercourse with him. whatever amount of money he has, well, not sure it is enough for me.

I hope the Trumps are going away soon. As soon as I see them on TV I flip the channel

ALL'S OBAMA HAS TO DO IS SHOW IT, THEN CASE CLOSED. What is the freckin big deal. If he doesn't then maybe something is wrong. Show it and lets move on. TO DONALD, don't screw with the parties, be serious about running because you'll split the vote.

Can't show what doesn't exist!!!

I think that this whole birthers issue is a non-starter. My mother was born in Hawaii and survived Pearl Harbor hiding in a trash can. I don't think I ever saw her birth certificate, it probably wasn't high on her list of things to think of. But for all you birthers out there, look to the past to see the bigotry in this. When my parents were married they had to go to Colorado because where they lived, Wyoming, they were considered an interacial couple (White dad, Hawaiian mom). We've moved past that and just on to something else. So people stop with all the hate and really use your energy to better our lives.

Hey Tina,.............I typed TONY......can you read?

I can read just fine. Maybe you didn't want me to REPLY to your idiotic rant because I am a female...you sexist douche.

With his wife's endorsement along with Palin and Gary Busey, Trump sure has the right group of supporters.

Miss. Dump, you can't be ugly and rude {to the president} at the same time

Melania is not the "designer" but has REAL designers bringing her ideas & she either OK's them or not. Worked in the industry so know how this works when a "celeb" wants to market something & doesnt know squat! It's almost always some talented person's brainstorm & not theirs.

This just in. Charlie Sheen is now on Trump's side. Another ringing endorsement.

THAT'S AMERICA...IGNORANT AND FULL OF HATRED. BOTH WILL DOOM THIS COUNTRY.IT'S GETTING WORSE...ESPECIALLY FROM EDUCATED PEOPLE WHO ONE WOULD THINK WOULD KNOW BETTER. BUT, THEN EDUCATION AND WISDOM ARE OF DIFFERENT VENUES.

Melania Trump has a jewelry line which she sells on QVC...It is all made in China. The Trumpster keeps harping about cheap labor and China. He can start with his wife's products..Funny thing, when stuff is made cheap, we buy it cheap. That's life.
