Whoopi Goldberg Explodes At Donald Trump About Obama's Birth Certificate On 'The View' (VIDEO)

Whoopi Goldberg got into a furious argument with Donald Trump about President Obama's birth certificate on Wednesday's "The View."

Trump, who has been talking about running for president, has been drawing attention for his comments about Obama's citizenship. He repeated some of them on "The View."

"Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?" Trump said. "Why should he have to?" Whoopi cut in.

"Because I have to and everybody else has to, Whoopi," Trump said. He continued that he believed Obama has a birth certificate, but that he should show it to clear the "pall" hanging over him. Then, he said that it was odd that "nobody from [Obama's] early years remembers him," and that there was "something on that birth certificate that he doesn't like." This last comment seemed to be the final straw for Whoopi—and for Barbara Walters.

"That's a terrible thing to say," she said, as Whoopi exclaimed, "oh my God...that's the biggest pile of dog mess I've heard in ages." She continued, "it's not 'cause he's black, is it?" Trump said it had "nothing to do with that."

"Because I've never heard any white President asked to be shown the birth certificate," Whoopi said heatedly, pounding her fist into her hand. "When you become the President of the United States of America, you know that he's American. I'm sorry. That's B.S."

I don't care for Donald Trump but I don't think our President is doing a good job and I'll be glad when I can vote him out of office! He's an idiot!

I don't think it has anything to do with being racist. I didn't vote for Obama and it had nothing to do with the color of his skin! I think he is full of crap and he hasn't kept the promises he made when he was elected! After he was in office, the first time in 35 years social security didn't get a raise and now it's two years in a row! I can't wait until I can vote him out of office! He is a joke to our country! I thought Hillary would've been bad as President, but she would've been the lesser of two evils! I certainly don't want a President who would rather honor Muslim holidays than Easter! He is a disgrace to the American people!

So why are u going out of your way to think that this had anything to do with race...(unless you're concealing your 'true colors') which I can see all the way thru. this computer screen...Oh, by the way, how do you know you're not black yourself...(you could have a drop of African American blood and don't even know it.)

Obviously you haven't watched the show or you'd know that it was Whoopi Goldberg and all of the other members of the View cast that hollered that Donald Trump was being racist when he kept harping on the birth certificate and whether it was legitimate or not! My problem with President Obama has more to do with his lack of morals and suspending raises on social security recipients and the ObamaCare that he is wanting to implement! I think you need to research and do your homework more thoroughly before you are so quick to judge what my beliefs are! God bless you and take care!

His parents had to send him to a special school because of his "aggressiveness." The man is pathologically combative. He lives to provoke.

Yeah, great qualities for a President.

In my opinion, there are a lot of other pressing issues facing our country and the President's birth certificate is not one of them. So, Mr. Trump if this is all you are bringing to the table stay in your place and do what you do best. Everybody seems to have "the solution" for what needs to be done, but the reality is not a one of them know what to do. I think people forget about Congress, there's your problem! Only God can help us, that's who we better look to and not this crumbling government.

I used to find The Donald interesting but after his nonsense on The View, I changed my "view"!
If you have nothing of substance to say, Mr. Trump, then please don't speak about it at all.
You definitely lost your appeal during that brief confrontation with Whoopi. She was pounding her fists and I'll bet she wanted to pound your mouth!!!! What you said, Mr. Trump, is BS.Now please go back to The Apprentice and your other projects and your family ... where you belong.

When my kids were born my wife and I did not make a public announcement in the newspapers. The only announcement made was in our church. I think birth announcements in newspapers and high society belong to celebrities and VIPs. Why should an unknown mother announce the birth of her child in the newspapers? and then renounce her citizenship and leave the country?

[maryskitchen]

09:51 PM on 04/07/2011

Please do your homework before you make statements as fact...For the umpteenth time...Obama's mother / family DID NOT put the birth announcement in the Hawaiian newspapers. If you did your research properly you would know that the announcements (birth & death) were sent to the newspapers by the "Health Statistics Bureau of Hawaii. " There is even a title as such "Health Statisitc Bureau" above the list that are sent to this bureau by the hospitals etc..All births and deaths were recorded this way about once every week or so..this is fact...you can find it on line...that is if you really want to know the truth. ...if not the I feel sorry for you, your wife and especailly your children!

We all should be questioning Obama's place of birth as only natural born citizens of the United States can be President of the United  States per that little document known as the  U.S. Constitution.
This LA Times link has what is purported to be Obama's birth certificate: 
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/06/obama-birth.html

I question its authenticity. Why? Look at the Race of the Father on the document. It says "African". First, African is not a "race," it's a nationality and does  not even do a good job at that because it describes a continent and not even a particularly country. It's look putting "European" as a "race".  Clearly some poorly educated person forged this and did not even do a good job. Plus, Obama's "race" is not even listed. Going further, I am black and was born in the late 1960's after Obama and my race says "Negro" on my  birth certificate like every other black person born in America at that time.

look at the year he was born they did not even know how to address black people back then i was there

Well supergenius, if you want to get that technical, then explain why John McCain was permitted to run for President when he admits to having been born in Panama. Doesn't the fact that he ran though born outside the 50 US states, trump your little stump speech about the Constitution?

As a supergenius you should instantly recognize that the solution to the birther question is simple: prove Obama was born elsewhere. Can you as a supergenius prove that Obama was born elsewhere?

Also, there is also no need to "question" the certificate's authenticity because of a simple term used, "African." Whether that is the correct term or not is moot. Simply pull up the closest 25 birth certificates on either side of Obama to see if you find the same anomaly. If they show that "African" was used to describe the race of fathers born in Africa, then then you will have gone a long way in to proving that Obama was in fact born in Hawaii, as a conterfeiter would not have had access to those documents. Right?

anyone who says they have never wondered why The President has not been comepletely open about his past is a liar.

[maryskitchen]

10:02 PM on 04/07/2011

I think he has been open about his past..much more so than ANY OTHER president in the past..especially since he and his family have been bombarded with lies and inuendo. If people put as much effort into helping others as opposed to this birth certificate nonsense ( that has been debunked thoroughly)..this country would be a better place.

[samking73]

11:54 PM on 04/07/2011

im not going to say any more about the birth/records, but i will say im not just disgusted in the job The President has done but im disgusted in the job ninety five percent of all the politicians have done on both sides. Congress and and every other elected official had better quit playing politics and get some serious cuts made. it scares me to death for the future of this country. the seriousness of the situation is dire, this country is in financial straits and with the out of controll spending, the good ole U.S. A. as we have known wont last.

"chelledc";----- You, AND YOUR 'WEB SITE' ARE----- WRONG!
-
'That' "Certificate of Live Birth" has been posted on that "Site" since before Obama took office as President!
-
'IT' IS NOT a 'valid' "BIRTH CERTIFICATE"!
-
That 'TYPE' of "Certificate of Live Birth" is easily available from "HAWAII" Health Department for the 'birth' of anyone 'anwhere' in the entire World, after payment
of the applicable price!
-
It merely amounts to an 'announcement' of a birth!
-
'That' "Certificate of Live Birth" does not contain ALL the normal data required of
a 'VALID' "BIRTH CERTIFICATE" that includes such as the "Doctor's name"
"Time of birth" and "Witness" etc, etc!

To 'PROVE THIS' merely compare 'YOUR OWN' 'Long-form' "Birth Certificate" with 'that' "Certificate of Live Birth"!
-
An Application for a U S Passport must be accompanied by a VALID Certified
'actual' "ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE"! -- "Not a 'Copy'!
-
And, nowadays we must present an "Originnal Birth Certificate" to get a
Drivers License.
