Trump's mother was born in Scotland! Oh the delicious irony for MinuteMom ("Freedom Fighter") and other birthers who say Obama isn't eligible because his father was not born in America.

Trump's merely says it's a "Certificate of Birth Registration". That doesn't prove a thing. It only means someone told the "Bureau of Records and Statistics" that someone may have been born. Basically, it's not a "Birth Certificate"! And nowhere does it say it "serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth for any court proceeding"

But besides that, what is the difference between Obama's Certificate of Live Birth -- which proves nothing, according to birthers -- and Trump's birf certificate. Trump's BC has incidental information about parents (age, birthplace, occupation) and name of attending physician. That's the thread on which Trump claims legitimacy, while saying Obama is a fake citizen.

My wife has one of those white-on-black "certificates" from back when she was born. But when she went to apply for a passport, they wouldn't take it! So she had to write to the state, and they sent her something that looks very much like Barack Obama's, which worked just fine. (This is absolutely true.)

So if this is all the documentation that Trump has, my guess is that he's never gotten a passport. Well, a U.S. passport, at least. Maybe that stuff works fine for Jamaica.

If Donald enters the makeover and Justin Bieber exits, it will have been worth it.

"But why does Trump have so many birth certificates? "

Like any good savior, he has been born again.

Tool. He's an arrogant, blustering, comb-overing, trophy-wifing, media-whoring, orange-tinted tool.

"This Mary person is said to be an immigrant, mind you, from Scotland, which is a foreign country." Trump is an anchor baby.
