Donald Trump was handed a gold-braided chance last night to declare once and for all that President Barack Obama is as American as he is.<\/p>\n

He didn’t. Instead, Trump — who was fielding questions at a so-called “town hall” meeting in New Hampshire — chose to allow a questioner to\u00a0level a hateful attack on the president … and on Muslims.<\/p>\n

Think, then, about this man — Trump — becoming president of the United States.<\/p>\n

He fluffed the question<\/a>\u00a0not because of some careless inattention, but — I happen to believe — he actually believes the nonsense that continues to fly around out there, that the president really isn’t “one of us.”<\/p>\n

This is just one more in a lengthening list of disgraces that Donald Trump has brought to the Republican Party primary presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

The exchange went like this:<\/p>\n

“We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims,” the man began. “We know our current president is one.”<\/p>\n

“Right,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

\n

“You know, he’s not even an American. Birth certificate, man,” the man continued.<\/p>\n

Trump laughed and said, “We need this question?”<\/p>\n

Then came the clincher:<\/p>\n

The man in the audience said: “But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question: When can we get rid of them?”<\/p>\n

Trump’s hideous answer? “We’re going to be looking at a lot of different things,” Trump responded. “And you know, a lot of people are saying that, and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We’re going to be looking at that and plenty of other things.”<\/p>\n

Looking at what? Finding ways to get rid of Muslims? Is this entertainer\/politician considering ways to rid the nation of millions of American citizens who happen to belief in a faith other than Christianity?<\/em><\/p>\n

What the … ?<\/p>\n

Sen. John McCain, while running for president in 2008 against then-Sen. Obama, got the same kind of question during a town hall. His response was to shut the questioner down and declare flat out that his opponent is a “patriotic American” and a fine public servant.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has disgraced himself yet again.<\/p>\n
