    MILLER: EXCLUSIVE: Trump on Romney's birther comment
    By Emily Miller @ The Washington Times


    "Donald Trump's questioning of President Obama's birth certificate hit a nerve in the presidential campaign this week.

    Mitt Romney said on Friday in his native state of Michigan that, "No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised." The Republican presidential candidate insisted afterwards that it was just a joke. That didn't stop Obama campaign manager Jim Messina from immediately used the comment in a fundraising appeal, calling it "a new low for Mitt Romney."

    "That wasn't a low at all," the real estate mogul told me in a sit-down interview on Sunday in Sarasota. "The low was when they accused Gov. Romney of essentially murder, when they called him a felon. Those are the lows. What he said is not a low at all."

    Mr. Trump said that more will come out about the legitimacy of Mr. Obama's birth in the weeks and months leading up to the election. The Constitution says that only native-born Americans can be president[SHOULD BE NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN]. Mr. Trump cited polls showing that, "A tremendous amount of people believe there is certainly a validity to it."

    The billionaire businessman and his wife Melania were on the west coast of Florida to receive the "Statesman of the Year" award from the Sarasota Republican Party. Mr. Trump was slated to have a large role in the Republican National Committee convention in Tampa on Monday night, but it was cancelled along with the rest of the official events due to hurricane Isaac.

    "SARASOTA — Donald Trump may not be getting his "big surprise" at the GOP convention today, but he caused plenty of trouble Sunday night anyway.

    Accepting a "Statesman of the Year" award from the Sarasota County Republican Party, the real estate mogul reignited questions about President Barack Obama's birth certificate and weighed in on Mitt Romney's recent joke on the topic.

    "What I think doesn't matter. (Romney) has his views and many other people disagree with him, as you know," Trump said at a news conference before the awards dinner at the Ritz-Carlton. It lured a record-breaking crowd that made Trump "bigger than (Tropical Storm) Isaac," organizers said in a press release.

    Trump was referring to Romney's comments at a Michigan rally last week when he said in his home state, "No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate."

    Romney clarified later that day that the comments weren't meant as a "swipe" at Obama and were just "a little humor."

    "He did make a joke, and some people thought it might not be a joke. It happens to be an issue that a lot of people believe in," Trump said, referring to the idea that Obama was born outside the United States. "Many, many people believe in it, so maybe I would have handled it differently, but (Romney's) running for president, and I'm with him 100 percent."

    The reality TV star and Romney surrogate has made questioning Obama's birthplace a pet cause, prompting problems for the Romney campaign in the past.

    On Sunday, Trump said it's an important issue that a "huge group of people" are concerned about, and the amount of time he spends touting it in the future remains to be seen.

    "Let's just say this: There's a huge group of people that are not believers in what (Obama) did, what he said and where he came from," Trump said. "We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens over the coming weeks and months."
