Donald Trump Goes Off On Fox News – AGAIN

White House wanna-be Donald Trump took to Twitter to complain about what he felt was unfair treatment on that liberal bastion of political news, The O’Reilly Factor.

Bill O’Reilly, appearing on The Today Show this morning told Matt Lauer, “I’ve known Trump a long time. He wants people to like him. When people criticize him, he takes it personally.”

“That’s like the worst thing you can give Donald Trump is this tweeting thing,” he said. “I just think this is an extension of his reality show, The Apprentice. This is just theater right now.”

Donald Trump Cancels On Heritage Foundation Event At Last Minute

Apparently, Donald Trump has cancelled his appearance at today’s event with the Heritage Foundation in South Carolina, although ten other GOP White House hopefuls will definitely be there, hats in hand.

According to the New York Daily News, the cancellation was very last minute. Like, today.

This likely won’t sit well with the evangelical faction of Republican voters, which Trump has been struggling with for several weeks.

This could also be considered something of a snub to South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who is also scheduled to speak at the event.

Donald J. Trump declined to correct a supporter of his who alleged that President Barack Obama is Muslim and not an American. http://cnn.it/1Ku44k6″We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims,” said the unidentified man who spoke at a question-and-answer town hall event in Rochester, New Hampshire. “You know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American.”

Donald Trump has spent months telling the U.S. what a great leader he will be for the country, and how he will bring the country together. But last night, when asked by an anti-Muslim supporter about how to “

“We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one, you know he’s not even an American. But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question, when can we get rid of them?”

Trump’s answer?

“Right. We’re going to be looking at a lot of things. A lot of people are saying that. A lot of people are saying bad things are happening. We’re going to be looking at that and plenty of other things.”

First of all, how vague can you get? And second, Muslim Americans are Americans too. I’m not sure if a lot of these extremists don’t know the difference between Muslims and Islamists.

Also – it is well documented that President Obama is a Christian and was born in Hawaii in 1961.

In 2008, John McCain faced a similar question from one of his supporters. His response was “No mam, he is not an Arab, he is a decent man, family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with”.

THAT is how you as a presidential candidate respond to misguided people. That is an honorable way to keep yourself above the nonsense.

Donald Trump is no John McCain.

Hillary Clinton Talks With EXTRA’s Mario Lopez On Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian & Kanye West

Sitting down with EXTRA’s Mario Lopez, Hillary chats on a range of topics including Donald Trump’s current run for the GOP nomination:

“I am watching this with some concern because I think a lot of what he has said has been really inflammatory and destructive.

“He has not put forward any real policies. He has made a lot of claims and I think it may reflect on the Republican side some of the pent up frustration that they have.

“I’m going to let them deal with however they choose their nominee, but I am certainly looking forward, if he were the nominee, to debating him in the general election because there’s a lot to talk about starting with his really outrageous statements about immigration.”
