Donald Trump Fires Back at Bill Cosby

Truth rating: 10

The war of words between Donald Trump and Bill Cosby is heating up.

During an appearance on the “Today” show last week, Cosby criticized Trump (Meredith Vieira‘s guest earlier that morning) for not being serious about a potential run for president (watch video here).

“He’s full of it,” declared Cosby at one point.

Now, Trump’s firing back.

The real estate mogul issued a statement blistering Cosby as dishonest about his reasons for opposing a Trump candidacy.

Trump opines that the real reason Cosby disparaged Trump’s potential presidential bid is because he supports President Obama.

“Sadly, he got more attention talking about me than he did on the merits of his own appearance – maybe he is not as dumb as I thought,” concludes Trump.

Wow.

Read the full statement below:

“The other day on The Today Show, right after I was interviewed by Meredith Vieira, a terrific person and reporter, I happened to watch Bill Cosby who was on at the end of the show. While I have never been a fan of Cosby’s, I had always assumed he liked or respected me because every time I met him—the last time at the David Letterman show where I preceded him as a guest—he was always so nice, saying, ‘let’s get together’ – asking me out to dinner, and being polite to the point of offering to buy me a suit because he has a ‘great tailor.’”

“
In any event, as I watched the show, the subject of Donald Trump came up.  I was surprised to hear him blabber, somewhat incoherently, ‘you run or shut up.’ The hatred was pouring out of his eyes when he said this.”

“As I am sure he must know I cannot run until this season of Celebrity Apprentice ends. I know that he has taken a lot of heat over the years  in that he seems to be talking down to the people he’s talking to and purportedly trying to help. Actually, based on the way he acted, things are not looking too good for Cosby.”

“

I wish he would be more honest, and if he doesn’t want me to run because he’s obviously an Obama fan, he should state the reasons and not come into my “green room” in front of numerous witnesses and treat me like his best friend, only to denigrate me when I’m not around. Sadly, he got more attention talking about me than he did on the merits of his own appearance—maybe he is not as dumb as I thought.”

Where do you stand in the Trump vs. Cosby fight?

    He’s not going to run. He won’t be willing to share his tax documentation, which is a requirement. He is just doing this for attention. Score = Donald Trump:1, The World:0.

    How is Donald ever going to get any “presidential work” done if he spends all his time lashing out at people who have nasty things to say about him…..and there will be legions of them I’m sure! Remember the Rosie O’Donnell fiasco, and the Barbara Walters battle, and the Miss America fight? Unfortunately, Donald seems to be inordinately thin-skinned, and just can’t keep his mouth shut about even the slightest comment against him. I would say that Donald has lost another round.

    Everybody is talking about Trump, so he may as well get ready because it is not just Bill making comments about Donald’s run for the White House. This is just scary and people are actually talking about vote for his silly ass.

    This issue will be in court on Monday May 2, 2011 at the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The INFORMED & ENGAGED public has legitimate concerns about him as he has not been transparent, has bad mouthed the US, Israel and the UK and has divided this country more than ever. He mocks concerned tax payers and patriots and gins up unfounded allegations of bigotry. The Tea Party has all faiths, color and parties in it. This issue is not being pursued because of race although the left wants everyone to think that. Obama has not been vetted. His Ivy League Harvard education is in doubt because he often uses poor grammar and can’t put a sentence clearly together without a teleprompter. He also somehow got into Harvard though a mediocre student and not wealthy. He did not get there on an academic or sports scholarship. Since he says he graduated at the top of his class, you would think he would want to share his grades. It has nothing to do with race. It is about the law, the truth, trust, this country and future elections.

    Fact Check already admitted that Obama had dual citizenship. That disqualifies him under US Constitution Law Article II. Visit for the article and screen shots atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2011/04/gaslighting-the-american-people.html click the link that shows the dual citizenship outing by Obama’s supporter, Fact Check before they realized what US law said about Presidential eligibility requirements and took it down. For some reason his birth record says his dad’s race is African when it would have said Negro in 1961. His ethnic background would be called African. His dad’s country of origin is listed as Kenya when it was not called that until 1963 (British ruled -British East Africa Protectorate) and it does not have an embossed seal showing like this 1962 Hawaii one does. http://omgq.com/13.jpg which is on plain paper not special paper like Obama’s The White House released “image” called a birth record has raised questions about its authenticity and many experts have already expressed reasons why it appears to be altered as well. One software self proclaimed expert said it was not unusual for a document to have layers when opened in Illustrator on Fox News. However, there should be no layers at all if there wasn’t any editing or manipulation of the original bitmap. One of dozens that discuss why is is fake youtu.be/rQ2Gv_q-DJ8

    Since his election, sometimes using private attorneys and sometimes using taxpayer-funded legal teams, Obama has battled almost six dozen lawsuits across the country, including several that reached the U.S. supreme court, in order to keep his records concealed from the public.

    Every Presidential hopeful has always revealed their records and background. For example, Bush Sr. had to share his record when he was a US Ambassador and Head of the CIA. We all learned that G. W. Bush’s grades at Yale were higher than John Kerry’s when that was released. Remember the falsified and fake military documents the admitted liberal news anchor Dan Rather put out on Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard that caused Rather to get fired? Have you read Obama’s book? Obama was connected with Arab groups, the Nation Of Islam & La Raza while in college as per his own words. He also bragged about his drug use and dislike for America.

    Obama’s records are sealed for a reason.
    Occidental College records
    Columbia College records
    Columbia Thesis paper
    Harvard College records
    Selective Service Registration
    Medical records
    Illinois State Senate records
    Illinois State Senate schedule
    Law practice client list
    Harvard Law Review articles that were published *none exist
    University of Chicago scholarly articles
    Record of baptism

    This website theobamafile.com/index_next_personal.html has been archived in the US Library of Congress. . Trump is speaking up because he has fellow patriots, money, clout and lots of support behind him. Obama is a millionaire (net worth 3 million declared) but Trump is a billionaire so he WON’T back down. No more stalling…Obama needs to stop spending millions on stalling, threats, legal tactics and face the court’s questions.

    Obama would not be able to get a driver’s license in most states with the questionable personal documentation he has provided to support his eligibility to serve as President — and would someone explain how anybody can get any job without presenting their resume, scholastic and medical records? Why are his sealed? His adviser Ms. Jarrett just said this week that he won’t release his records on CBS news. How could Obama have been president of the Harvard Law Review and not write one article? Why is his wife’s college thesis (linked on Politico) so angry and anti-white? Why did he attend for 20 years the racist Rev. Wright’s Black Theology and Marxist promoting churcht? Why did Obama give a speech on video talking about the need for a “civilian military” force stronger than our existing force and why did he say his salvation is dependent on others salvation? That is not Christian theology. He must have learned that from his pal Wright.

    The man has not been vetted. Not by a long shot.

    Bill Cosby should hear what Dr. King Jr. niece Dr. A. King has to say. She was with Glenn Beck at the Restoring America 8/28 Washington DC event. As far as pushing the left’s lie about Republicans, conservatives and whites being bigots…..NOTHING could be further from the truth if you look at the real history of America and not the bull that has been pushed by the Democrats. http://youtu.be/CZWXmoC5CYw and historical evidence at nbra.info
    Learn why Dr. King voted for Republican Presidents Eisenhower and Nixon and who the KKK really was.
    youtu.be/HkUJEDYBnBQ Republicans started NAACP, Affirmative Action, School Choice, Freed the slaves, gave the votes needed for Civil RIghts passage that was blocked by Democrats, Al Gore Sr. & KKK members, and desegregated the schools and military that President Wilson (democrat) had mandated. It was the existing bigotry and laws enacted by democrats in power that Dr. King was fighting. The KKK and Jim Crowe had southern white bigots that were democrats mostly. Harry Reid even is on record apologizing for the pain his party caused.

    History shows that it is Republicans, Christians, conservatives and people of traditional values that helped free the slaves. It is not possible that Dr. King belonged to the wrong party or that they turned into haters. He switched to democrat due to charismatic Kennedy who had to run as a democrat due to being the first Catholic candidate. He had center right ideology. http://www.nbra.info National Black Republican Association historical site. GET INFORMED.

    The democratic party is the party of secession & slavery. Rich, plantation owners who needed cheap labor AS MANY COUNTRIES HAD SLAVERY AT THIS TIME and elite southern democrats who did not want to free their slaves were the democrats. History shows they were the KKK and behind Jim Crowe and segregation -CHRISTIANS & Republican President Lincoln pushed for the end of slavery and for the country to not split. Segregation was started by Democrat Pres. Wilson and ended by Republicans. Wilson segregated the schools and military. Socialism was designed to enslave minorities with entitlement programs that would keep them voting for the party who gave them the most. Republicans advocated self responsibility/determination, opportunity, low taxation, small government, strong families/faith, education for all, equality and empowerment. Do your own research. The left is very slick and very dangerous. Our media, government and education system has been infiltrated with radicals and socialists. They ruined Europe and now America is next.

    Hold up there, RomanticFool. I’ve read through all your nonsensical ramblings on several of these articles about this Trump/Obama drama. I hadn’t said anything because, frankly, I didn’t care. This comment isn’t referring to any of that.
    But saying that Europe has been ruined by “the Left” got me interested. I am Scottish. I’ve lived my entire life in the UK and wouldn’t have it otherwise. While we have our problems, as every country does, I am proud of the country I call home.
    What ‘Left’ infiltration in the media and education system are you talking about? Political correctness in the media? The fact that other sides of the coin are now presented in the media and in schools? For example teaching understanding and toleration of different religions? Or showing that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality? These are developments over the past couple of decades. Are these “slick and very dangerous” ideas being used to “ruin” the world by “radicals and socialists”? Why is it you feel that simple manners and being nice is such a negative quality? You mentioned Christianity. Didn’t Jesus teach to “love thy neighbour”?
    You say that Europe has been ruined, but there is a reason most of the world dislike America. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of these people. But sections of the American public are laughed at around the world. You’ve got millions of people who believe in Jesus turning water into wine and the immaculate conception, but firmly disbelieving that President Obama is American.
    Why is it that Fox News is routinely ridiculed both in America and in Europe? It’s because of its wild conspiracy theories and militant right-wing attitudes that somehow manage to skew the minds of some US citizens while the rest of the world looks on in wonder.
