Donald Trump gets regular Fox News spot

/ Mike Stobe/Getty ImagesDonald Trump, who says he is seriously considering a presidential run, will now appear on Fox News every Monday morning.
A Fox News representative, Dana Klinghoffer, said that Trump will be a regular guest, not a contributor, and thus will not be paid.
Trump's segments were referred to as "Monday Mornings with Trump" in a network promo posted by Mediaite.
"Bold, brash and never bashful, the Donald now makes his voice loud and clear every Monday on Fox," an announcer says in the promo. The promo then cuts to a clip of Trump saying, "my message is a better message than anybody else's."
Klinghoffer, the Fox News spokesperson, said that Trump will be permitted to continue making the regular Monday appearance even if he declares a presidential campaign, since he is not a paid contributor. It would be highly unusual for a network to give a regular weekly forum to a declared presidential candidate.
Fox News suspended Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich as contributors in March ahead of their likely presidential campaigns. The network also employs Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin, both of whom say they are considering presidential runs.
Trump has made headlines in recent days by questioning whether President Obama was really born in the United States. His position prompted one Fox News personality, Bill O'Reilly, to suggest Trump was pushing the "birther" perspective for publicity even though he does not believe it.
Trump will appear on the morning show "Fox and Friends."

mick You wish I were dead but I'm alive and I'm not going anywhere! I'm going to be the thorn in your side as long as you keep posting your ridiculous, hateful comments! You think with your snarky comments to me you'll get rid of me but san850 is right! I'm a pit bull! I don't give up! I destroy my opponents just as I destroyed you when I dared you to produce a birth certificate for Trig Palin showing Bristol as his mother. You couldn't produce it and I'm still waiting!
That's what you're so mad about! You were defeated and you can't stand being defeated! That, however, isn't the only thing you're going to be defeated about in the next election! You are going to be among those that I've said many times will be on the floor kicking and screaming and having a tantrum like a two year old on election night!
Don't be so absurd, JV1970...
OF COURSE I don't wish you dead...I don't "hate" you!
Only a lunatic (or perhaps a tea-bagging Palinista) would "hate" someone they've never met...and I fervently hope to NEVER personally encounter you OR Sarah Palin...
Your shared mean-spirited, hateful dementia might be contagious...
And if imagining me, "on the floor kicking and screaming and having a tantrum like a two year old on election night" gives you some kind of weird pleasure, JV1970...then knock yourself out!
If in fact he was not born in the US, as some suspect, then we have no president!
***************************
And isn't that precisely what you really want, JV1970?
You don't merely fantasize about President Obama being voted out of office...or being impeached or even assassinated...
You want him on his knees (literally) head hung in shame and humiliation as he is stripped of his office, and all legislation, proclamations and other documents signed by him to be declared null and void...
All of this to the din of a howling mob armed with torches and pitchforks (and perhaps a combustible cross and a rope or two)
You would like President Obama to have never been...and imagine this sort of delusional, total "victory" to be the only remedy for the trauma you've suffered...trauma caused by a black president!
I've called you a hypocrite...a hateful pseudo-Christian...and a not-very bright whack job, JV1970...
Let's add pathetic bigot to the list...
I said that you DIDN'T fantasize about the President's assassination...opting instead for his complete official "erasure" and that of all his works...
"HA HA HA...LOL...it doesn't count...America never REALLY had a black president...it was all annulled...thanks to the patriotic efforts of all us "birthers" who finally drove him from office..."
Now THAT'S a real fantasy...But do dream on, JV1970...dream on...
mick I'm going to tell you again that I didn't admit to anything! If you think I did that's all in your tiny pea sized brain!
*************************************
OK, JV1970...
Please explain to me what part of...
"It doesn't bother me IF she lied about Trig's parentage because IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS! The circumstances surrounding Trig's birth is strictly Palin family business and NO ONE ELSE'S! According to the laws of this country she hasn't committed a crime! The only "crime" she's committed is in your little pea sized brain!"
"WHETHER OR NOT TRIG PALIN WAS ACTUALLY BORN TO SARAH, OR IF SHE LIED ABOUT HIM, has no bearing on the well being of this country or any affect on on your life at all and wouldn't have even if Sarah is elected president! Therefore, his parentage has nothing at all to do with you and is, I repeat, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS..."(some capitalization mine)
...did my tiny, pea sized brain misinterpret or misunderstand, JV1970?
You could be drummed out of the Palinistas just for ADMITTING that the possibility even exists in your propaganda-dulled mind that Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy...deceived McCain and his "vetting staff"...and has shamelessly cashed in on her unwarranted and most certainly undeserved celebrity ever since...
Own up girl...you blew it!
I can just see stern faced Sarah herself ripping your Palin campaign buttons off, one by one...before taking back your coveted, "Palinista Troll of the Year" medal"
The point of my message is it doesn't matter. That's what your little brain just doesn't seem to comprehend! It just doesn't matter! Trig's parentage is strictly Palin family business and has no bearing whatsoever on the welfare or the running of this country! However, the matter of Obama's birth place DOES! If in fact he was not born in the US, as some suspect, then we have no president!
The clever dissembling of words and viewpoints already expressed to negate or alter their meaning and obscure their original intent is a rather low art...and better left to those with considerably more active, non-psychotic brain cells than you display, JV1970.
You just ain't smart enough to mount a convincing argument that you never said something you've indeed already said. Sure...the self-serving"point" you were attempting to make...
"Palin is innocent...but even if she isn't...she was just being a patriotic Christian American mother defending her family...And besides...IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS"...are not at all the only things that you blurted out in your angry post.
Palin Central would no doubt have preferred that you had held the line with "We won't dignify this with a response" (not that she's even said that much...except on the BBC) but to continue to deny everything and hope that it all just goes away.
Since Palin obviously cannot refute the charges that are being leveled, and which would indeed involve criminal charges if found to be true...she would surely want it to never be brought up...and you do that yourself, JV1970...with every Obama "birther" post I've warned you about the immediate consequence of your making.
And speaking of dire consequences, JV1970...anyone who has heard shots fired in anger.. can tell you that losing your nerve and retiring to a fallback position prematurely can have disastrous consequences...for bungled arguments as well as inexperienced troops...
BANG...you're dead!
Obviously you have not heard any of his off-the-cuff interviews where he always answers with intelligence and dignity. You Obama haters are just so perplexed since you can see the handwriting on the wall....there is no GOP candidate that can defeat him in 2012....or in a debate.
"He should show me and the rest of the world that he was indeed born in the US because if he wasn't then we have no president and every bit of legislation that he's signed in the last two and half years is null and void!"
======================================
JV....can you possibly answer these questions:
-The numerous investigative agencies that matter were satisfied prior to him being sworn in as President, so why aren't you?
-Just what do you think he is hiding?
-Do you have information about his birth that you should provide to these investigative agencies?
-If so, why haven't you provided it if the issue is so important and meaningful to you?
-He obviously has done everything required of him BY THE RIGHT PEOPLE or he would not be the President. So, what makes you think you and the other birthers are so special that the President of the United States should take your ridiculous demands seriously?
JV, these are the questions you have yet to address and I, for one, would love to see you answer them.
It still amazes me that you and the other birthers apparently do not realize just how foolish and irrational your demands sound. Actually, you should know that this "birther" nonsense has become one of the biggest laughing stocks on the internet.
