VICTORY FROM THE HELICOPTER  10:51 am April 27, 2011

Donald Trump: You’re Welcome, America

by Jack Stuef


Honored. He is honored. A weary nation looked for a hero to finally get Barack Obama to release his birth certificate, and it found Donald Trump. He is the only person in the world who could do this. And he heard the call of duty because HE IS A PATRIOT and HE WANTED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO HIS CARTOON LIFE. Today Americans flooded into the streets, embraced one another at long last, and wept in gratitude knowing they could never repay Donald Trump for all he has done.

In times of great peril, certain selfless Americans rise up and do what nobody thought was possible. It speaks to the great character of this nation. No matter our differences, we will always be a free people, and we will stand up with free people across the world for what we know to be right. Together, and under the leadership of great Americans, anything is possible.

Curing cancer? Fuck that shit. Cartoon rich man Donald Trump got Barack Obama to release his birth certificate. Way more impressive.

There is no way we can truly thank him. All we can do is carry the torch of freedom forward and be a beacon of hope for all the world in this, the Second Chapter of World History. [YouTube]

will Donald Trump now release his Tax Returns?

spoiler: No

Omophagist April 27, 2011 at 11:26 am

Sure, of course they'll all say that he made $0 b/c all of his income is funneled through off-shore Cayman Island accounts. LIKE REAL PATRIOTS DO.

GeneralLerong April 27, 2011 at 12:11 pm

Now it's $arah "Bullseye" Palin's turn to release some birth certificates, eh?

GOPCrusher April 27, 2011 at 12:14 pm

Or at least her Hunter's Safety Certificate.

skoalrebel April 27, 2011 at 10:54 am

But the Constitution says "No Niggers" so he still needs to be thrown out of office.

prommie April 27, 2011 at 11:10 am

No no no no; you're not supposed to say it like that, its impolite. Here is what you are supposed to say: "I want my country back." It means the same thing. So does any mention of "precious liberties" or "original Consititutional values" or anything like that, it all means exactly the same thing: No Nigger President.

a_pink_poodle April 27, 2011 at 11:22 am

It's okay! He has many blacks as friends!

Geminisunmars April 27, 2011 at 12:53 pm

No – he has "the blacks" as friends.

Grief_Lessons April 27, 2011 at 1:11 pm

State rights. How could anyone be against state rights?

jqheywood April 27, 2011 at 1:44 pm

What about "precious bodily fluids?"

fuflans April 27, 2011 at 1:05 pm

ahh skoalboy we've missed your subtle charm and trenchant analysis.

skoalrebel April 27, 2011 at 1:51 pm

Hey! [spit] I don't do trenchin'! That's just fuckin' gay. [spit]

glamourdammerung April 27, 2011 at 1:12 pm

You left out the "I am not racist, but…".

Boojum_Reborn April 27, 2011 at 1:45 pm

No, it says 3/5, not zero. So, doing the math…4 x 12 = 48 months. 3/5 x 48 = 28.8 months. January 2009 to May 2011 is 28 months, so he has to leave end of June.

See? It's in the Constitution.

Barb April 27, 2011 at 10:54 am

"You're welcome, America?"
Fuck you very much, Donald.

mog253 April 27, 2011 at 11:10 am

He just plumb wears me out………time for some lemonade on the veranda, where are those pesky house minions????

No CapeClod, he tossed America under the bus.

Nope, not until there's a banner saying as much.

mavenmaven April 27, 2011 at 10:56 am

Great! Hopefully this will make Trump the lead Repub candidate. Now all his fans can go back to the important news they were reading in People magazine.

Terry April 27, 2011 at 11:01 am

I think the Trump/Palin GOP ticket would be absolutely awesome. Anyone but the truly insane would abandon the party.

Andrew Drinker April 27, 2011 at 11:25 am

In comparison, it would make Goldwater/Miller look like they just barely lost.

RadioJack April 27, 2011 at 1:20 pm

What do you think, 40-50 million patriots?

SorosBot April 27, 2011 at 11:10 am

It's the wrong time to be courting People though, since they are currently obsessed by the wedding of two rich people who are completely unimportant and will never accomplish anything in their lives.

mavenmaven April 27, 2011 at 1:37 pm

Yes, two very white people. Their readership is thinking, why can't we have leaders like that in Merka?

Gopherit April 27, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Better than that, this will ultimately make every republican candidate come out with their own statement on this issue. Good luck not offending the half of the people who vote in your party who also happen to be functionally mentally ill.

glamourdammerung April 27, 2011 at 1:24 pm

I am really upset with your description of the GOP "base" as being "functionally mentally ill" as I have yet to see evidence of any functionality outside of possible use as ballast.

jqheywood April 27, 2011 at 1:47 pm

Hey, don't disparage ballast-americans.

DemonicRage April 27, 2011 at 4:28 pm

Please let the Republicans nominate this pathetic clown. It will be such a landslide for someone who redeemed us after 8 years of being governed by Satan's plaything.

$exy$murf April 27, 2011 at 10:57 am

He's accomplished something no one else has accomplished? What, looking like a fucking retard? I do that on a daily basis. Where's my TV show?

Boy howdy! It's trump mixed with lube that causes santorum, you know.

Trump/Santorum '12 FTW!

anniegetyerfun April 27, 2011 at 1:40 pm

Personally, I think that's a bit insulting to your feces.

Geminisunmars April 27, 2011 at 1:02 pm

Funny, I usually feel relaxation and relief.

You were not praised enough during toilet training. See Vitter's therapist.

Troubledog April 27, 2011 at 10:58 am

Doesn't it flow a little better if you say, "do what nobody no one thought was possible".

Let's not lapse into lazy writing just because we have nothing important to write about.

Doktor Zoom April 27, 2011 at 11:05 am

Or even better, "what no one thought necessary."

Remember this proverb, it will help you understand so much in life: "If its not worth doing, its not worth doing right."

trondant April 27, 2011 at 1:20 pm

The version I know is "if it ain't worth doing stoned, it ain't worth doing."

prommie April 27, 2011 at 3:19 pm

Thats the additive inverse, I think.

iburl April 27, 2011 at 10:58 am

Nobody needed to see this long form certificate except for idiots and they, as we've seen, are still not satisfied, so thanks for nothing cretin.

PsycWench April 27, 2011 at 11:05 am

My hometown TV station put this on its FB page and people are bitching about it not being real b/c it doesn't say Barry Soetero. For real.

Trump is definitely a man who can get things done. Go Donald! Now that you have the undying loyalty of the nosepicker wing, get those SAT scores!

He's Luke Wilson's brother, you know, that guy who starred in this accurate prediction of the future of America.

I'm so pleased that calm and reasoned debate can now return to the forefront of American political discourse.

donner_froh April 27, 2011 at 11:03 am

Trump feels honored now but he knows that the ride on the gravy train of effortless publicity is over and he will start having to work for his hype again.

He should change his name to Geraldo Rivera Trump.

Nope. It hates it when we complain about the weather too. It's like Mikey on the Life commercial.

Why does Jeebus hate the red states?

Callyson April 27, 2011 at 11:09 am

So now The Donald wants to talk about issues…OK, here's a question on the issues for you: How is a businessperson with multiple bankruptcies in his record going to the the US economy going? Because I've been waiting on an answer to that question longer than anyone has been waiting for the birth certificate that has only been released on numerous occasions…

otakuboyt April 27, 2011 at 11:09 am

He should have waited a few more months, the birthers make Obama looks better, then in 2012 *BAM* certificated.

revmatty April 27, 2011 at 11:09 am

It's pretty impressive when the sarcasm almost literally drips from the screen onto my desk. Go Jack!

V572..whatever April 27, 2011 at 11:09 am

Now he can move on to the really crazy shit, like a 35% tariff on Chinese imports, expropriating Libyan oil, and how he'll browbeat OPEC into raising production and lowering oil prices with the sheer majesty of his wonderfulness. And hair.

This should clear up airtime for more Royal Wedding® coverage, so there's a definite upside. What kind of arch supports does the Prince wear? We need to know this!

jus_wonderin April 27, 2011 at 11:09 am

You're Welcome? Who the fuck asked you for anything, you fat fuck? Oh, a small majority of bat-shit crazies…that's who. I don't identify with those pieces of poo.

Hatrabbit April 27, 2011 at 11:10 am

Donald's very proud of what he did today. He didn't flush either, he wanted America to see just what he's done for them.

You're going to be very ,very surprised.

Shhh — we're trying to keep it a secret.

mumbly_joe April 27, 2011 at 11:12 am

Well, now that the most substantial plank of his "platform", addressing The Most Important Issue Facing Americans Today has been completely resolved forever (except for the part that conspiracy theories are like religions, and never die out just because they've been repeatedly disproved), Trump will shortly announce that he's not running after all. Right?

Oh, wait, no, he needs to draw this whole thing out for as long as possible, for ratings freedumb.

SorosBot April 27, 2011 at 11:12 am

And here I thought Donald's greatest triumph was being born the son of a billionaire.

Please hold the torch of freedom closer to your Folly-cles. Feel the burn. Let the fire nourish you. Do not notice the burning smell. Do not be fooled by pain, it is your enemy, and you can overcome it. Hold it closer. Closer. Closer.

Putting Trump and Harriet Tubman in the same sentence should probably be illegal.

To call Donald T a pig-fucker is being unreasonably mean about pigs so I won't do it.

Hell, it's mean to pig-fuckers.

Since pigs are smart, sentient & have better hair than the Donald, totally unfair to pigs.

You know, Sarah Palin has to be sitting home crying….the Donald has shown her that she's even a bush leaguer in the attention whore department….apparently there is nothing that Lou Sarah is good at….what a tool.

Yep, she's no doubt so jealous she's out in the driveway chewing gravel in rage.

Now the Donald can run for President of the United States Hair Club for Men with a clear conscience, if he has one under his coif.

So, Trump agrees, Obama is a naturally-born citizen (or whatever the phrasing of the day is)?

Can he shut up, now?

So will Donald cancel Magnum P.I.'s contract now?

I'd like to see Trump release the financial docs on his NYC real estate deals in the 70s. Bought for pennies on the dollar, with gov't guarantees. Anyone can get rich with deals like that falling in their lap.

James Michael Curley April 27, 2011 at 12:56 pm

That's the old man, Fred. In the 70's mostly Donny was the old man's bag man collecting on unpaid rents in NYC subsidized apartments.
Donny's first major deal was the old Grand Central Hotel which had been empty for years. The City and the Feds both kicked in money to help him out. He then converted it into the Grand Hyatt, has some of the worst rooms of any hotel I have stayed in in NYC.

Tundra Grifter April 27, 2011 at 11:29 am

The "Long Form" has been released, the idiot questions despite the fact that we were promised over and over again that all Mr. Obama had to do was release it and the "issue" would be over – and know we know what he has been hiding all these years!

The "Long Form" doesn't have his mother's mailing address!

Chillwaver April 27, 2011 at 11:30 am

Fuck this, guys…if we actually need to listen to what this serial adulterer/bankrupter Reality TV star has to say about a dumb conspiracy theory, then we are a nation of fucking retards and we deserve to have Trump for a President.

GeneralLerong April 27, 2011 at 11:50 am

It's hard, isn't it, being in the upper quarter of the bell curve. I think current polls and statistics indicate that 46% of us are dumb and igernant, and 26% are full-goose fucking insane.

Our financial services industry must be laughing their asses off as they blow coke in their cubicles.

How much do you want to bet that Trump commissions a large gold plated statue of himself holding the birth certificate in his outstretched hand?

All we can do is carry the torch of freedom forward and be a beacon of hope for all the world

Shit, I thought that said "bacon of hope" and started to love the sphincter-lipped bastard a little.

Edit: Just a little. And I've since cooked and enjoyed some actual bacon, so I'm now over it.

DashboardBuddha April 27, 2011 at 11:46 am

Barry…you folded too soon! There was so much more craziness you could have wrung out of this. Every day would have brought us more and better insanity until say a month before the election. By that time, even the crazies in this country would have been embarrassed by Trump's actions.

At the very least, you should have insisted that Trump appear in public without his hair done first.

genxr April 27, 2011 at 2:19 pm

Possibly, handing this victory to the nuttiest GOP candidate will pay off with bigger laffs down the road.

Now, how can we shore up Palin's credentials?

JustPixelz April 27, 2011 at 11:50 am

Obama released a document that said what was so plainly obvious to anyone who spent a minute or two thinking about it. But it wasn't obvious to Trumpette. He's not the brightest bulb in the tulip patch is he.

ChessieNefercat April 27, 2011 at 3:49 pm

Nor even the biggest bag in the dumpster.

Where is the Supreme Court order or Department of Law warrant to dig up Momma Obama's bones and examine the pelvic region for signs of birth in the first place? Come on Birthers, this just.got.serious.

imissopus April 27, 2011 at 11:58 am

I cannot believe I got out of bed this morning.

BornInATrailer April 27, 2011 at 12:04 pm

Having now made, of all people, Trump the hero of the lunatic fringe, this is one of those times when I wonder if Obama is playing 3 dimensional chess.

He releases a scan, people go ape (the Polarik photoshop nonsense). He let's it be photographed, people go for "long form" wackiness. He says fine, fuck you, spin your wheels. He gets ~2 years of fantastic distraction.

Now with long form laws and Trump, it is time to actually make chicken salad out of chicken shit. Those lawmakers (and people like Jindal that said "I'd sign it!") look like complete assholes. And Trump gets to claim he was the final push.

Ruhe April 27, 2011 at 12:26 pm

I think you got it right.

Doktor Zoom April 27, 2011 at 1:18 pm

"And Trump gets to claim he was the final push."

But he was hoping for a putsch.

hooray4anything April 27, 2011 at 12:12 pm

They forgot to add "alleged" into that headline

freakishlywrong April 27, 2011 at 12:20 pm

"We're not going to be able to do it if we just make stuff up and pretend that facts are not facts, if we get distracted by a sideshow and carnival barkers," he continued.

At least he managed to call the bullying vulgarian a "carnival barker". Waiting for the "media" to call Barry out for his "tone" and "incivility".

CapnFatback April 27, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Just so I'm clear on this: Trump is proud about badgering the President into producing a document, the existence of which Obama had consistently averred and had been corroborated by a "shorter" form of the document. Additionally, the reason for producing this "longer" form–to the exception of exiting laws–rendered Trump's suspicions moot. And he's honored by being the ringmaster this circus? And the news outlets lap this up like caramel sauce?

And I have to try to go into a college classroom in an hour, hold my head up, attempt to teach? Fuck my cock.

Doktor Zoom April 27, 2011 at 1:19 pm

And here I thought we were seeing his idea of foreplay before masturbation?

petehammer April 27, 2011 at 12:27 pm

So here's my legitimate question: (I'm not going to watch that video) Donald Trump, I'm assuming since he's taking credit here, accepts the legitimacy of the BC. The vast majority of birthers, because facts and truth don't matter to them, won't. So, who will their chosen candidate be now? Donald has now forsaken them. This was his platform and now its gone. He should have come out swinging with "it is a fake!" I highly doubt that the 45% of Repubs who think Obama is not a citizen will drop by any perceptible margin (because it is about racism, not BCs).

Trump has made one giant miscalculation, if he were ever serious about running.

Who's the new birther candidate? Jerome "My Book Is As Relevant As An Apple IIGS Manual" Corsi?

GOPCrusher April 27, 2011 at 1:26 pm

I would hope that by the end of the day, Americans would wake up and say "Jesus Christ! These retards are trying to take over this country!"

Doktor Zoom April 27, 2011 at 12:31 pm

Jack, this one definitely needs the "Feces Machine" tag.

trondant April 27, 2011 at 12:33 pm

Well, turnabout is fair play; he's never been able to repay many people for all they've done for him.

zappadoo76 April 27, 2011 at 12:34 pm

Donald is trying to take his lemon and make lemonade. But the birth certificate makes birther-symp Donald look like an idiot no matter how he tries to spin it.

And why did Obama wait so long to release the damned thing? Is he just a natural born prick teaser?

freakishlywrong April 27, 2011 at 12:42 pm

He did release it. Three years ago. The COLB is sufficient for white politicians.

GOPCrusher April 27, 2011 at 1:29 pm

A person that I discussed this with stated that he wished Obama would of waited longer, so the Republiklan Party would have wasted a few million more dollars tilting at windmills.
Now they just look like a bunch of simpletons that allowed them selves to be hijacked by the lunatic fringe.

dox[acted] April 27, 2011 at 12:35 pm

The Donald couldn't be prouder that the president proved he's a raging asshole who is even wrong about his "campaign's" central premise.

MiniMencken April 27, 2011 at 12:39 pm

A job well done. Now, can Trump get Michele Bachmann to release her notorious bukkake video?

Boojum_Reborn April 27, 2011 at 2:04 pm

I'd vote for him if that happened.

Duly_Noted April 27, 2011 at 12:39 pm

I'm surprised he didn't christen it the "Trump Document" or "Certificate de Trump" or something else with his name in it, like he does every other piece of shit he wraps his grubby little fat fingers around.

How long until we hear the Teatards ranting on and on that the long form birth certificate is a fake? The Kenyan in the White House wouldn't be a good conspiracy if it wasn't.

GOP response: Obama has trampled on Hawaiian state's rights by forcing them to make an exception to their rules on birth certificate release. Clearly this shows his arrogance, but is it an impeachable offense?

ShaveTheWhales April 27, 2011 at 2:39 pm

My initial reaction to the release of the Certificate of Live Birth was, "Oh, hell, he's given into the crazies; and too soon".

After thinking about it a little more (and reading the Wonkomments), it seems to me that it's more like just one of those things that should have been unnecessary, but probably makes sense given the deteriorated state of the US media and political environment.

1. Of course this will not shut up the true far-endian birfers, because their real issue is that Obama is half-black. But it may close out the issue for some of the "not certain" folks.

2. The release should have been unnecessary, because the Hawaiian "Certification" that Obama posted in 2008 says — right on the bottom — that the document is satisfactory to prove birth for all legal and judicial purposes, according to the State of Hawaii. And Article IV says that all other states must honor that.

3. However, as a practical matter, it's important that Obama's name appear on the ballot in all states in 2012 (even the ones he'll probably lose, because it will influence turnout and may affect down-ticket results). Despite my absolute certainty that even this SCROTUS would strike down any state law that refused to honor Hawaii's legal Certification of Live Birth, it's probably just as well to not have this be an issue at all.

4. I suspect that the real motivation for getting the certified copies of the "LFBC" was not Trumpy, but the reaction of the media fucks and the Republican legislative fucks. It became obvious that many in the media and Repubes were happy to keep this "controversy" simmering, even while denying that they were active birthers (the "controversy" "raises questions", you know?). Simmering was actually a pretty good deal for the Boners and Newtfucks, et al, since they could dog-whistle at the birfers out of one side of their mouths, while acting "responsible" out of the other.

This is going to make it pretty hard for the Repube leadership, and ostensibly serious candidates, to keep playing that particular game.

5. I now think that holding off (to let more assholes stick their feet further down their throats) might have proven counterproductive. If O waited too long, it might really look like his hand was being forced. Plus, some of the "undecideds" might think a really late reveal looked a little fishy. By doing it now, there is time for it to become a non-issue for all but the most malignant nutballs.

6. Also, too, I think there is some simple truth in what Obama said about it. The issue was becoming a media distraction, because it's so much easier to report on a nice "controversy" than it is to report on things like the nuts and bolts of budget negotiations. Whatever opinion one holds about Obama's handling of his Presidency thus far, there is no doubt at all that he takes the job, and the purposes of government, seriously. I believe he may have concluded that any political benefits that might continue to accrue, from fuckwits making themselves look more and more stupid, would be outweighed by the political liabilities engendered by the distraction.

I know, tl.

Chet Kincaid April 27, 2011 at 2:47 pm

Well-said. This should be a post, not a comment!

GOPCrusher April 27, 2011 at 3:45 pm

Saddest part, I could see the lunatic fringe falling for the whole Birther Conspiracy, but when over half of Republiklans were starting to believe it, makes me concerned for America.

ChessieNefercat April 27, 2011 at 4:04 pm

No, not too long. My first reaction to producing the bc was dismay. Don't validate fuckwittery! Now you have to obey every demand and order of every racist lunatic out there.

But thoughtful reading and consideration leads me to believe that yes, this could play very well. Demanding other documents could really backfire (sideshows and carnival barkers?).

We have serious problems that need serious attention and serious solutions. The president made it clear that he is more than willing to spend time with ADULTS! Everyone else can go back to the sideshow at the carnival and stare at the freaks (each other).

I agree with Chet Kincaid, this should be a post, not a comment.

I just sent this to Intense Debates help thing:

When I go to comment on Wonkette I don’t see the log in button. I can comment without the log in button, but it doesn’t really show up. Sometimes when I go to intense debate and then log in, and then go back to Wonkette I get the log in button. Sometimes not. Usually I have to log in at intense debate, then go to Wonkette, and then refresh it like 30 times. Then sooner or later I get the log in button. The problem is that after dicking around for about an hour to make one comment I am so mad I forget what I wanted to say. Or worse, I just wind up cussing out Wonkette for using you guys. Or more usually, I just don’t comment because I know it will be a fruitless hassle.

Can you guys help me? It’s probably something stupid with my cookies. I’m really getting sick of bitching at Wonkette. Maybe some sort of help button would be of, umm, help.
