The sure way to expose a true bully, who is all talk and no action, is to confront them face to face. This happened when Chris Matthews blasted Trump after the recent Republican debate, calling him out on live TV for saying President Obama is not an actual American.
Trump has been talking non-stop about Obama’s birth certificate for nearly a decade. When he was confronted by someone who wouldn’t let him get away with his nonsense, he suddenly refused to answer the question.
Chris Matthews is a rather aggressive interviewer, especially when it comes to confronting a Republican who is spouting an opinion that is asinine or an outright lie. Nobody could have been a better pick to throw down with Donald on live tv.
Matthews asked directly, “Is Donald Trump honest when he says that Barack Obama is not a legitimate president?”
After a lot of stuttering and trying to change the subject, Trump took the cowards way out and refused to answer the question. He seemed to imply that he does not want to talk about it anymore, because once he mentions it nobody wants to talk about anything else.
Matthews did not let up though and kept pressing an increasingly uncomfortable and annoyed Trump until he surrendered and essentially declared the interview over. If Trump can’t stand up to Chris Matthews, how will he ever stand up to people like Vladimir Putin?
Watch Donald get cornered and cowardly in the clip below:

NPD at it finest…..weird.
kudos to Chris Matthews for having the guts to confront Trump over his birther nonsense.
Trump is so ridiculous….
Interesting . Trump and his charges beat this to death with all kinds of fake documentation and came up empty. Ted Cruz was clearly born outside the US and no one says anything!
He is not a viable candidate, Ted Cruz.
There’s some crazy body language in that exchange.
Putin will rip him to shreds
Chris Matthews for President!!! Trump is such a coward. Putin is going to eat him up. BTW I agree with Bill Maher - I think Trump’s mother was an orangutan.
HUH?
Trump has been whining about this for years now all of a sudden he doesn’t want to talk about it…he wants to talk about the economy? Really?
What about the homeless epidemic and affordable housing crisis in this country? He’s a real estate mogul what is his platform regarding “POOR” people? Does he know poor people exist?
We can’t all afford his Trump Towers. I do give props to Chris asking him a hard question seems the media isn’t really doing that with these candidates.
As much as i don’t care for Trump, this was hardly anything close to what the title of the article says. Trump was actually the bigger person here. You have to respect your guests who don’t want to answer your questions, so Matthews just looked like a whiny poor sport and a control freak, and Trump didn’t budge. Trump 1, Matthews 0.
