Trump described President Obama as a “very strange president” for not releasing his birth certificate promptly, as well as other personal records still being withheld.
He also lambasted the president for his foreign and economic policies that have made him a “laughingstock.”
During his interview via phone from New Hampshire, Trump again reiterated comments made earlier in the day that he was “proud and honored” that he was able to accomplish “what nobody else could” — convince President Barack Obama to finally release his long-form birth certificate.

Donald Trump takes credit for the White House release of President Barack Obamas birth certificate. I can get things done, Trump says in a Newsmax.TV interview. He ca not and I can. Trump derides Obama as a very strange president and a laughingstock.
The hit TV star and real estate mogul — who is considering a run for president in 2012 — also derided the president for allowing OPEC’s “ripping off” of America, and charged that the administration’s moratorium on oil drilling is a “total disaster.”
For weeks Trump has been calling on Obama to put the issue of his birthplace to rest by simply presenting his full birth certificate. The issue has haunted Obama since his 2008 presidential campaign.
The White House finally obliged on Wednesday morning, with Obama apparently alluding to Trump when he complained during a press conference about “side shows and carnival barkers.”
Trump told Newsmax.TV: “I’m very proud of the fact that I was able to do something that nobody else could. I’m really honored by it.
“Whether it was Clinton or all of the other people running against him, for whatever reason, he wasn’t doing it, and I was able to get him to release.
“I don’t know why he didn’t do it. Nobody understands why he didn’t do this years ago. He went through hell over it.
“Obviously they’re examining the certificate very carefully.
