Event Details: Donald Trump Speaks about Obama's Birth Certificate in New Hampshire.  Media appearance, 26 minutes.  Link: Trump

Attendees/Audience: NA

Press: PBS News

Summary of Event:  Trump takes credit for getting Obama to release birth certificate.  Many of the questions are inaudible, I could make them here and there.

Key Points:

0:01:  Morning.  Today I am very proud of myself, I accomplished has something that no one else has done.  On the helicopter I was told that the President has released his birth certificate.  We’ll have to look at it and see.  Now we can get onto things that matter.  Why he didn’t release a long time ago when the Clintons asked for it, I don’t know.  I am honored to be playing such a major role.  Now we have to see is it real, is it proper, what’s on it?  I hope it checks out, I’m honored and thrilled.  We can now talk about oil and China.  Hopefully people will stop asking about this.  I’m really, really honored by this.  Okay.

1:49: Q:

A:  No I’m taking credit, why didn’t he do it a long time ago.  Why didn’t he do.

Q:  Why is it relevant?

A:  It’s very relevant, people ask me for my BC.  And I gave it two days later.

2:14: Q:

A:  We have to look at the certificate.  We have issues that are important-

Q:  You didn’t answer the question-

A:  I did answer the question, I think I did.

2:50:  Q:  What are your qualifications to judge the BC?

A:  Well I’m going to look at it and other people are going to look at, experts, I’m really happy I was able to do this.

3:35:  Q:

A:  I don’t want to answer that because it’s a very negative question, I hope it’s true but I’m not going to answer whether it’s a fake or not.  The reason I hope it’s true is this country is hurting right now.  They can’t get gasoline in their tank because they can’t afford to do it properly; Saudis said they were going to raise oil prices.  Yesterday Obama said President has very little say over the price of oil.  He’s 100% wrong, OPEC is setting the price, and we have oil everywhere.  He has no power over that? It’s pretty sad.

5:18:  Q:

A:  I hope it’s not possible.  I hope we’ve accomplished a lot the last few months, we can start talking about OPEC and China taking our jobs.

5:44:  Q: What would you do differently?

A: We should come down hard on OPEC, these nations wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for us.  We handed Kuwait their country, they didn’t pay us anything for it.  We protect the Saudis and they thank us by raising oil prices.  It would be very easy to get gas prices lower, gas prices are at $4, $5 and they’re going to go up $6 and $7 as sure as your standing there.

6:22:  Q:

A:  I came up ton NH, in 1988 and gave a speech at the request by a friend.  And there was a buzz because this is NH, and it’s a big state for politics.

7:40:  Q:

A:  Well I am a Republican.  I’ve been one for a long time; I’m quite conservative.  I saw two polls that I’m leading and that I got him to release the BC can only help.  Big pollster said if you announced your numbers go up.

8:25:  Q:  Why don’t announce?

A:  Are you an intelligent person? Are you an intelligent person?  I have the number one show on NBC, I can’t announce until the show is over.  I can’t.  When the show is over and finale is on May 22, I will then be free to announce.

9:17: Q:

A:  Everything is legitimate.  The press is very protective of Obama.  They’re not protective of me, and others either.  I heard he was a terrible student at Occidental, heard he was a bad student at Columbia and then he got into Harvard.  How does a bad student get into Harvard?  Now maybe that’s right or wrong, just release the records.

Q:  Who cares?

A:  A lot of people care, people says he was a great student, well if was great and if he wasn’t great.

Q: Why do you continue to…

A:  Well education means a lot to me.  If he wants to release or not release is fine. You’d think he’d want to release it.  The word is he wasn’t a good student and he got into Harvard, I’d like to know how that happened.

11:02:  Q:  (Something about innuendo)?

A:  Well it’s not innuendo, I’m just reporting what you write, what worse innuendo is leveled at me but I won’t be protected like the President is.  In finishing I’m really honored and really proud I accomplished something that no one else good do, experts will check and as I said from the beginning I said I hope he gives his birth certificate.

11:55: Q:

A:  Experts will look at it that’s not up to me.

12:04: Q:

A:  I’ve had friends that are DEMS and GOP, in New York is a blue state.  Hard place to do business, I’ve supported people from both parties.  I think that’s good.  I have friends in the Senate.  It’s a stalemate.  I think it’s time for people to sit down and solve problems.

13:33:  Q:

A:  My views change.  I talk about success.  You have to be flexible.  Sometimes you have an idea it can’t go through a wall, sometime you have to go under the wall or around the wall.  Work hard but you have to have flexibility.  Virtually every candidate running they have different views then they did 10 years ago.

14:20: Q:

A:  Well actually I think you’re playing with me but I accept that.

14:34: Q:

A:

14:48:  Q:  Last night Ann Coulter said you were not right for President?

A:  Ann Coulter?  Ugh, you’ll have to see.  In three weeks you’ll see.  I’m already leading the polls and I’m not even running, am I leading in the polls?  Excuse me, CNN did a poll recently, where Obama and I are statistically tied.

15:22:  Q:  How confident are you, you could win?

A:  I think I’d beat Obama.  If you look at this economy and bad it is, if I look at this poor economy, it’s going to be about that, Libya, gasoline prices which he says he can’t do anything about, he should focused on OPEC and getting gas prices down.

16:01:  Q:

A:  I would’ve handled Libya much differently.  I don’t know who the rebels are; I think most of them are Al-Qaeda and Iran.  It’s not Lawrence of Arabia, they could be worse than Quaddafi.  First of all if win the war we get the oil, used to be you won a war you got something for it.  Now we spend millions and soldiers die and we get nothing.  They came to be to help in Libya, I’d say gimme $5 billion and give us free oil.  China is getting oil from China and they’re not anything.

Q:  How can change China’s behavior?

A:  It’s so easy.  They are manipulating their currency.  If I’m there, within in one day I tell them they keep manipulating currency we’re going to tax you 35%.  They will stop.  Obama gave the Chinese leaders a state dinner.  The Chinese are smart, they’re getting away with, but on the American team.  The whole world is taking advantage of us.  Deficits, how can our economy with grow with these deficits?  Other countries are making all our products, Newton Iowa, Maytag plant went to Mexico.  If you put a tax on Chinese products, you’re going to bring jobs back to the US, or you’re going to see China stop manipulating which will make us able to compete.  They’re going to be bigger than us because they make all our products and they everyone else’s products bigly.  We have all the cards, they have none.  $300 billion this year and they’re taking our jobs.

21:27:  Q:  What do you hope to learn in visit to New Hampshire?

A:  Well I’m very happy, just saw a NH poll where I’m doing well and a guy who lives here isn’t doing so well.  I’m running against people who I like.  If you live here and you’re a few points up on Trump, that’s saying something.

22:16:  Q:  What are you looking for?

A:  One example I saw yesterday, $260 million prison here in NH, town is devastated because the feds don’t have the money to open it. Pathetic.  It’s unfair to that town.

23:08:  Q:

A:  I don’t know what my campaign will look like in NH.  I know how to make money.  This country is broke.  You go to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, you land at their airports they are gorgeous.  You come you land at La Guardia, Kennedy, terrible.  When have we built a bridge in this country-

Q:  The President….

A:  The President, look I know you’re big Obama fan he doesn’t-

Q:  Why do you say that?

A:  Because of your questions, the President doesn’t know what he is doing.  The President doesn’t know what he’s doing.  The fact is you come to country, when was the last time a big bridge was built, big airports.  I will make a decision in May.  A lot of people say I can make it in June or July.

25:18:  Q:

A:  I’ll do politics in NH.

25:43: Q:

A:  I think I have the temperament, I think I would make this country rich again.  I would have to give up one of the best shows on television.  If I ran, I would make this country rich and powerful and respected again.  Thank you all.
