Donald Trump demands Obama's birth certificate

By Shane D'Aprile - 03/24/11 08:15 AM ET

Real estate mogul Donald Trump said Wednesday that questions over whether President Obama was born in the United States are legitimate, claiming, "There's something on that birth certificate that he doesn't like." 

Echoing the sentiments of so-called "birthers" during an interview on ABC's "The View," Trump demanded, "I want him to show his birth certificate." 

Obama was born in Hawaii; his birth certificate is on file at the state's Department of Health. 

Still, Trump insisted that questions over Obama's birthplace have not been settled. 

"Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?" Trump asked. "I wish he would, because I think it's a terrible pale that's hanging over him." 

The real estate mogul, who's considering a bid for the GOP presidential nomination next year, went on to question why there are so few photographs of Obama's early life. 

"If you go back to my first grade, my kindergarten, people remember me," Trump said. "Nobody remembers him."   

The ladies of "The View" didn't take kindly to Trump's "birther" demands. Check out the video below:
