2012 Mitt Romney Supporter Donald Trump Will Bravely Unearth the Obamas' Divorce Papers Tomorrow
Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 1:12 PM
Donald Trump, who is on his third marriage, is probably going to unveil information tomorrow that the Obamas maybe filed for divorce once, according to the Mail Online:
Donald Trump is to claim that he has unearthed divorce papers of Michelle Obama and the President, according to a respected financial pundit with links to the tycoon.
It is alleged that the eccentric real estate mogul will claim that the documents show the First Lady and the President were at one point in their two decades of marriage seriously considering splitting up.
Donald Trump has held fundraisers for Mitt Romney. He has been treated like a legitimate surrogate by the campaign. And now he's spreading a theory that has been, in the words of the Mail, "rubbished" by the White House. Is the Romney campaign going to try to control their surrogate, or are they just going to let him spread his bullshit everywhere? I think we all know the answer to that question. I hope the media holds Trump to his position of importance in the Romney campaign. This can only be considered an implicit endorsement from Mitt Romney.

No, I have secret information that proves Donald Trump died six years ago. He's not leaking anything today except maybe ground water.

First, why is it that Reps who get elected, always seem to be on their second or third wives? And yet, they always are critical of Dems' marriages (like the Clintons)?
Second, so what? So what if the Obamas contemplated divorce? Boy, does that make Trump (and by relation, Romney) look small.
Third, no one's marriage is anyone else's business. End of story.

Ronald Reagan was the only president to have been divorced.
Wonder how that'll play out if that idiot Trump actually produces this?

Why does anyone at all pay any attention to that blowhard? Is it because he's so damn loud? Seriously. He's not exactly a deep thinker, has no political experience, can't decide how young his wives need to be. What's the attraction? Are people willing to put up with his stupidity because he's rich this week?

The truth is even more shocking. Michele was at one time married to both Osama Bin Laden and Barrack. They held a secret polyamorous voodoo ceremony on Maui. You know. The same place Malcolm Forbes, Jim Neighbors, and Rock Hudson all got secret voodoo married married. C'mon. You heard about it. It was in the Enquirer.

I think we all need to recognize that this extremely relevant news item is sure to somehow sink Obama's reelection hopes. Somehow. I'll get back to you. Shhh.

If this does play out, then things get really nasty. Obama wasn't going to get any Mormon votes, so the silly cult rituals that Mitt has been a part of since before birth becomes part of the onslaught. The fundies who have lengthy track records of Mormon bashing will have the video evidence of their lies played on the big screen. A meaner POTUS would have the IRS camped out in SLC & Bain HQ. Hell, Nixon would have had people Gitmo'd if they started shit about Pat.

Considering how much fertilizer Romney himself has been spreading this campaign cycle, I can't imagine they're going to try to restrain The Donald from adding a little of his own, especially if, by doing so, it encourages him to throw another million or two into the GOP war chest.
After all, the GOP may be a passel of greedy, venal, morally-bankrupt oligarchs, but they DO know who provides the bulk of their financial support.

That's a boring surprise- I had this great image of Donald Trump declaring he was really Obama's father in his best Darth Vadar voice... (Which would give a whole new life to the birther theories, since Mr. Trump can't produce his long-form birth certificate.)

I think this has the potential to ruin Donald Trump's career as a public personality. Every marriage has its rough patches, and if the Obama's were able to pull through theirs and have a strong marriage, that is to be admired.
16
This is nothing. I was in line at the supermarket the other day and, whilst breezing some respected periodicals, caught wind of a "Gay Obama Sex Scandal!" No wonder he supports marriage equality...
17
Trump is an unflushed toilet who has been divorced twice, married three times. Obama is the president of the United States and has been married once, divorced zero times. What's your fucking point, fat man?
18
@15: If only. Trump is a cockroach in a bad hairpiece. His career as a public personality will survive Judgement Day. That's the upside of having zero self-awareness or shame.

Searching for a link to back up my unsubstantiated claim of the Obama gay-sex scandal I googled the phrase and came up with 14,900,000 hits, plenty of which also implicated him in drugs & murder as well. Fun times, especially scrolling through the comments and realizing there's plenty of folks out there who eat the shit up without a even a hint of satire.
20
It's staggering the amount of slander the Obamas have to endure.
@19,
I don't know if you remember, but, back in 2008, a toothless crack addict alleged that he and Obama smoked crack together in the back of Obama's limo and Obama gave him a blowjob.

Romney has no problem with racists, bigots, Trumps, birthers, etc. All he cares about is the vote -- especially maximizing the White vote. We'll see if this works for him on November 6th.
And the fact that the Obamas contemplated divorce is scandalous on what planet?

I hope Trump's news tomorrow is that he's actually Andy Kaufman and the real Donald Trump has been dead for 10 years.

Wait. They overcame adversity and they chose to stay married? How much more pro-family can you get?
Of course when Bill and Hillary decided to keep their marriage alive in spite of everything the usual scolds on the right couldn't appreciate that either.
The whole wingnut philosophy is anti-marriage, anti-family, anti-child and anti-life.

If this is true, it would all depend on exactly what's in those papers. Allegations of infidelity? Drug use? Mental instability? Homosexuality? Any of those would sink Obama at this point.
