Trump Brags About Birth Certificate Release

The Hill reports:

Businessman Donald Trump once again called for the revenue from Iraq's oil reserves to be diverted to the U.S. Treasury and lambasted China, President Obama, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) and the press in a rambling speech Friday.

"To me its common sense, we won the war, we're going to take some oil," Trump said. "I am totally serious. ... [Iraq's] no sovereign nation."

Trump championed this widely discredited proposal during his flirtation with a presidential run earlier this year.

The brash reality TV star also also bragged that he forced Obama to release his long-form birth certificate, which the president did in April shortly before he announced the killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. forces.

"Trump got him to show it," Trump said during a speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition's conference in Washington. "I don't know exactly what he showed. ... It took a long time."
