On last night's Piers Tonight, Piers Morgan held a Middle East debate between Rep. Anthony Weiner, Bill Richardson and Donald Trump. At the end of two segments, Weiner took a shot at Trump's presidential chances. "I'm not president yet, although I think I have as much chance as Donald Trump does," he said. Trump fired back: "If I polled like Anthony's polling I would drop out immediately."
"Don't worry you'll be dropping out soon enough," Weiner told Trump. Piers also interviewed former Libyan Ambassador Ali Suleiman Aujali.
"I don't think there is an chance for Gadhafi to stay in power," said Aujali.

Go Trump! Go Piers! Weiner reminds me of a weasel. Weiner picked the wrong man to mess with it.
I don't understand how Mr. Morgan could include Mr. Trump on a panel with Mr. Richardson and Congressman Weiner. Mr. Trump should not be considered an authority on anything except "reality tv", real estate and bankruptcy laws. The fact that Mr. Trump continues to opine on President Obama's citizenship is enough reason to exclude him from any conversation regarding US policy. Couldn't Mr. Morgan bring in a current or former Republican member of congress or the Senate to discuss President Obama's Libya statements? Mr. Morgan has lost a lot of credibility by including Mr. Trump in any discussion of national policy. Very disappointing.
Trump is running for POTUS, obama is an usurper and weener doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
If you couldn't see through Trump's obvious self-serving publicity stunt, why should anyone respect your political opinions. You're clearly not very thoughtful.
Donald Trump a) pays taxes, b) is a citizen – therefore he has every right to speak up! Remember this, OF the people, FOR the people and BY the people, not elitist politicians like Wiener.
Of course he's a citizen, and he has every right to speak up. Braszman is merely expresing his desire that Piers exert HIS right to exclude fools like Trump from his show, and I agree. Trump opens his mouth to get higher ratings or his reality TV show. he will NOT run for POTUS – he never intended to. In fact, I'll give him enough credit to be smart enough to KNOW he could never even come close, nevermind win, so he won't waste his money.
BTW, don't you WANT elites running the government? Since win is being "elite" a bad thing? "Elite Soldier" = one of the best; highly trained, highly effective. Would you rather have some just any person off the street running the show?
Braszman, I agree, Piers is lowering the discourse by including Trump in any serious policy discussion.
lolz.. yeah then he should come with oher unknown citizens or businessmen n not with congress men! Duh !
I agree – why is Donal Trump even taken seriously as a presidential candidate? Oh wait...look at the attention Sarah Palin has been getting! It's all for entertainment it seems! Mrl Weiner, I loved your passion about Health Reform.

The use of the term elite refers to an 'elite conscientiousnes, away of seeing and orgaizing life for the advantage of the elite, characterized by economic exploitation, a politics of oppression and legitimated by the religious right.
Piers Morgan is so annoying. He keeps interupting. No one cares what you ahve to say...really. No one. Shut up and let them talk!! I miss Larry
In your naivete you forget that ALL 24 hour news corporations are after ratings. Donald Trump is controversial on liberal cnn, so they put him on. Not hard and you buy into it because whether you like it or not, and they count on you not liking it, you still watch and are perhaps even more interested. So Piers Morgan made it through another night attracting your viewership..he's ecstatic. It's not about Libya at all.
Weiner is just that, a weiner! Trump could wipe up the floor with him in any debate. Suck up to Obama and the rest of the incompent Democrats all you want Braszman. Why doesn't Obama show his birth certificate? I'm ashamed it has taken nearly his entire term in the White House to prove the man is an imposter and should be kicked out.
Really No birth certificate? I don't understand hos this stuff perpetuates itself... You can see it for yourself right here:

This was the first of PMs shows that I ever really watched, and I have to say it was TERRIBLY done. He was obviously picking sides, and choosing Trump as a guest was... Well, stupid. The guy has NO idea what he's talking about and got several facts wrong. I certainly won't be watching again.
Andy, that was an old link you posted. If you want the FACTS that they have been trying to hide about obama's birth and his Islamic faith AND the FACT that he got into Occidental College on a scholarship as foreign student, try this link: http://factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html
Donald is an American citizen and as such he has every right AND obligation to speak his mind and have a say in the court of public opinion. He is not some phony politician who knows little to nothing about anything, as does weiner or obama for that matter, but he has practical knowledge AND understanding of the business world and through his business dealings he has worked with other countries, heads of corporations and countries. He is no dummy... wish I could say the same for obama or weiner......

did you not read your own link; Update, Nov. 1: The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed Oct. 31 that Obama was born in Honolulu.
cognitive dissonance is alive and well in the regressive party
appreciate rep.anthony weiner for his logical and justified stand in libya and respect humanity. respect for obama as president of us for timely intervention to save thousands of lives. i think donald trump was confused and not justified

" Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei roundly condemned the US action in Libya, accusing Washington of seeking a toehold in that country. In other words, bringing up some sort of alleged link of the Benghazi provisional government, which has reached out to Washington, and Iran is about the stupidest thing anyone could say about the situation."
Promoting a buffoon like Trump, a birther who failed to produce his own birth certificate, only makes CNN and Piers Morgan look like total ignoramuses, unfit to be in the news business.
Here's an update for you: It took Donald less than an hour to get his birth certificate: http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2011/03/29/donald-trumps-birth-certificates
Donald is only voicing what every other THINKING American wants to know.
And why has obama spent so much money to cover up his past...?
Is that true that OPEC sets oil prices? Have they been raising the price then, or have the prices been going up with market trading?
PS Canada's offered up 6 fighter jets and a boat (not an aircraft carrier, a boat) to the NATO coalition – and even with that little a contribution, it's beyond disturbing to hear that they might be helping Al Qaeda gain power.
PPS Donald Trump's gotten famous for being that self-promoter who makes all his products sound so luxurious – you know how he's always saying his apartments are the best in the world, his show's the greatest, etc ... like he really paints a positive vision that makes you want to check out what he's offering. But in the political arena, he hasn't offered that up. And positivity is what helped propel long-shot candidate Barack Obama to the Presidency in 2008. So it's interesting he's chosen to focus in the birther issue, etc.
Weiner remarks rendered Trump speechless, Trump is clearly out of his league, he needs to stick to his reality tv nonsense
The perfect name for him... the weiner he is! Trump crushs his intellengence. He is nothing but the latest big mouth dem. always whining about something....
how ironic you misspelled intelligence
Wonderful exlpatnaion of facts available here.
Totally agree, WTH Trump is doing here?? there's nobody to fire here, get the hell out of here, its about PEOPLE OF US and NOT ABOUT BUSINESS you people's blood sucker Businessman !
Piers here's the poll Rep Weiner spoke about in his interview showing 47% of American's support the President's decision

It is truly unfortunate you are unable to hold back your right wing bias.
At least now he knows what kind of cr*p they will throw at him...it's good to know ahead of time what kind of unkind and mean things they will throw at him...sort of get it out of the way...now, to business
Anthony, Anthony, Anthony - the orange tie goes with the BROWN suit!!! People don't want to vote for you if you make their eyes bleed.
Sorry, he's a polytician not a model
... n yes.. ppl r talking abt politics here not abt fashion, they didnt even notice this other than YOU!
am i the only one droolin over "the weiner", now that ive seen his bulge? nah, i cant be!
Piers Morgan keeps interrupting when other people is talking. It is so rude and annoying . . .
I second that!!! Thats what I've been noticing!
Piers Morgan you are awesome. You should stay with high profile guests of broad appeal, like Gov. Christie last night and Wolf Blitzer, et al. tonight. You should avoid attention-grabbing lowlifes at the margin, like Bill Maher. You are head and shoulders above Larry King. Keep up the good work.
Ryan O'neil is the biggest problem in Tatums life, not the drugs. Ryan is more concerned about Ryan than he was about being a father, I can't believe what I am watching....he is unbeleivable
I'm just concerned on what Mr. Trump said. He should know that what ever united state ivolved is a TAX of being No.1 to lead the world.
I you want to keep the world under your arms . you need to involve to gain what you are looking for, or just let others take over the lead.

nemash a. n.
Donald Trump is the biggest idiot on planet earth Ok I forgot about Palin oh and Bauchmann
I'd like CNN to post the entire live shows after they air! Not all of us can sit by our t.v.'s waiting for each show to come on, and NO – not all of us can afford TVO, etc. etc.
Pierce Morgan – the worst Host, if he does not want to listen to his host (Bill Maher, Weiner) wanna keep intrrupting them then why does he ask the question?! He should ask and answer himself. Basically Morgan is BIASED. He is Capitalist He is republican so he must only invite Captalists on his show. Sucker Brit !
