First, Donald Trump raised questions about President Barack Obama's birthplace. Now, he's questioning whether President Obama was qualified to attend Columbia and Harvard.
Here's what some news organizations and blogs are saying about Trump and his possible 2012 presidential run:
In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Trump explains, “We go into Iraq. We have spent thus far, $1.5 trillion. We could have rebuilt half of the United States. $1.5 trillion. And we’re going to then leave. So, in the old days, you know when you had a war, to the victor belong the spoils. You go in. You win the war and you take it.”

Believe it or not, Donald Trump is sounding more and more like somebody who might actually run for president. As opposed to someone who is just talking up running for president as a means to boost ratings for "Celebrity Apprentice."
While it’s still not clear if Trump will officially announce a run for President, it is clear he knows how to garner a tremendous amount of buzz – in the press and in social media – by serving up completely outrageous sound bites.
Apparently, one pretend investigation (into Obama's birth certificate) isn't enough for Donald Trump. He now claims he is "looking into" how President Barack Obama was accepted to Ivy League schools Columbia and Harvard despite being a "terrible" student.
