it's entitled "you've been trumped." as in donald trump. self-styled real estate tycoon, tv host and on-again, off-again presidential candidate. we americans are used to his inflated ego, his bombast and bravado, but when trump swept into scotland and announced his intention to build the most lavish, greatest golf course and resort in the world, many politicians and business leaders began dancing a highland fling in greedy anticipation of trump's promises and his fabled midas touch-his past bankruptcy filings to the contrary. environmental scientists warned that the sandy dunes across which trump intended to extend his empire are a vital, but delicate ecosystem as unique as the amazon rainforest. once the 4,000 year-old dunes are violated, chances are they're gone forever. >> multi-million pound golf resort in aberdeenshire is rejected. >> local authorities turned down trump's grandiose proposal but were overruled by the national scottish government, which bought trump's propaganda hook, line, and sinker. >> the scottish government have cal

>> he has. >> you think he spoke to donald trump? >> governor romney made it clear that he disagrees with donald trump. and he disagrees with the emphasis on the issue. he believes that the reason that we need to beat president obama in november is because he hasn't done enough to fix the american economy. every time they had an event he talked about what it is that he would do to fix the economy. >> does he have an obligation to say something to donald trump? >> i think he has said it. i think he's said it clearly publicly. he sent a message time and time again that the focus of this campaign has to be the economy. >> you were saying it doesn't matter what surrogates say. when hillary rosen, a supporter of president obama who visited the white house said something about ann romney. the obama white house was very quick to distance themselves from her. and a lot of conservatives jumped on her as speaking for the candidate. so, isn't it fair, then, for democrats to do the same thing about what donald trump is saying? >> i think all the

tycoon donald trump's ability to make money. now a doctorate of business administration -- >> how did that come about that he got an honorary doctorate from aberdeen university when he's become such a fount of controversy with the people out there who are opposing him violating their space? >> it's baffling. it' absolutely baffling. i don't unerstd it. it s robert gordon university in aberdeen who decided to give mr. trump an honorary degree, a doctorate, honoring his ability to make money. whereas what we have here is one of our wilderness areas being destroyed by mr. trump. and that fact seems to be lost on the business people in aberdeen who have welcomed him with open arms. and i just do not understand it. bill moyers: after the ceremony at aberdeen. there's a press conference and you ask donald trump a question. donald trump: i'm very happy to report that everything we've done, i think it's coming out better than anticipated than in our wildest dreams. it's going to be really spectacular. there doesn't seem to be people aga

donald trump is really good at promoting donald trump. and that would be his purpose doing anything here. and the media love him. he is funny, kooky, he brings headlines. but mitt romney wants the republicans to be seen as the responsible party that will help save the economy bring the country back, and i don't know, it seems mitt romney is the last guy in the world who wants the side shows -- >> bill: what do you think mitt romney wants the nation to see about him? because those of us who do this day in and day out and have been doing so for the last couple of years think that everybody knows everything there is to know about all of the candidates that is not really true of mitt romney is it? >> i think his style makes it hard to get to know him at least through the media. a great segment for us to promote our own story in political, we did have a sitdown with mitt romney. and it was probably published today. they did it in ohio but they publish it today in "politico" and in partnership with the "tampa bay times," but he said a lot of pe

donald trump! >> greta: donald trump honored by the republican party of sarasota county, florida, but did the stormy weather force trump to change his convention plans? we caught up with trump in sarasota. >> first let's talk about the weather. hurricane, tropical storm isaac. what political impact do you think that will have on this convention? >> i don't think it's going to have an impact. it does miss one day. i was a big part of monday. i just got here and find out monday was canceled. i don't think it's going to have a huge impact. i think the message is going to get out. the message is going to be a message of jobs. it's about jobs. mitt romney is and was a very, very successful person. he knows business. he knows jobs. he knows how to put people to work. you look at our unemployment, it's not 8.3%. it's probably 20% or 21%. 8.3% is fiction. minimum 15% or 16%. mitt romney will put people back to work. >> what's the takeaway romney needs to leave here to the 30 million-plus maybe taking a fir

donald trump, birther in chief. romney held a las vegas fund-raiser with trump in may at a time when trump was raising this birther issue like never before across the country. >> they make these birthers into the worst. why doesn't he show his birth certificate? >> i want him to show his birth certificate? >> why? >> there's something on there that he doesn't like. >> you have to be born in the country. there's no birth certificate, only a certificate of live birth. >> you ask about a birth certificate. how come there are no records that his mother was in the hospital. >> you have a certificate of live birth, that's not a birth certificate. >> that was trump's issue all along. romney's campaign was offering donors a chance to dine with the donald. when asked about the issue, his adviser said this. >> i can't speak for donald trump, gloria, but i can stelyou that mitt romney accepts that president obama was born in the united states. he doesn't view the place of his birth as an issue in this campaign. >> a few months

apparently they're willing to talk about donald trump. >> donald trump's a good friend of our party. i'm thankful to donald trump for all the work he's done for us and for governor romney. i don't know right now what he's going to do at the convention, but i do know that he's important to us. >> so donald trump is important, but romney's taxes are not. that's ridiculous. are you sure about that? >> is it a good message to send for a guy still a birther calling for the president to release college transcripts, is that the kind of guy you want on the podium during the republican convention? >> i have -- i have been from the very moment i have been chairman of this party where i stand on that issue. and it's just as much of a distraction as it is for people to call for more and more tax returns and all these other issues. >> the head of the republican party says people asking about romney's tax returns is just like birthers asking for the president's birth certificate? that's a totally false equivalency. and it's just a sign of just how desperate republicans are to deflect attention awa

trump in the process, after that, donald trump did kind of go away for a while. it seemed like maybe the election had seen the last of him, but then he came back like a hand out of fresh dirt over a grave. he endorsed governor romney in february in las vegas and started raising money for mr. romney at lots and lots of fundraiser after he started beating the birther drum again. >> i think if you look at the birth certificate, take a look and tell me really, you analyze the birth certificate. there are many people that don't agree with that birth certificate. they don't think it's authentic. >> right after donald trump said that, mitt romney appeared with donald trump at a fund-raiser in las vegas, right alongside him, both there in person. yeah. asked how he could be doing a fund-raiser with this guy pushing the birth certificate thing, which mr. romney said is totally nothing he believed in, he offered a explanation of why he was doing the fund-raiser, a mathematical explanation. >> i don't agree with all of the people who support me and my guess is they don't be

trump especially and having that dinner, that high dollar dinner in vegas even though donald trump was going on rants both on camera, off camera, on twitter, at any corner in new york that somebody would listen to him regarding this whole notion of him being a birther. >> i don't think there is any question donald trump is no asset to mitt romney and i think most people understand that except for maybe mitt romney who constantly seems to be bending over backwards to appease donald trump. i think the big problem that mitt romney has got heading into the convention next week is now we're going on two weeks of him being completely off message. it actually began with the selection of paul ryan, which should have helped him but it took him off the economy and put them in a defensive posture on medicare. the todd akin controversy followed very quickly by the republican platform putting in very strident antichoice language. and now this. if he -- he's got to figure out how to get back on message and they seem to be doing everything they can to avoid it. >> let me bring garret back in getting

donald trump, kris kobach, joe arpaio. so he's not just saying something or letting things go, he has put some of the most birthers around him. >> it's about changing the rules. the rule in a presidential election is in the primaries you pander. you pick up, shore up your base. then in the general election you pivot. we are a few days from the start of the republican national convention in tampa. this should be pivot time, coming back to the middling with moderate time. this should be about getting the independent voters. they instead decided go all in on pander. the next four days are going to be pander. they have put forth a platform that is mean spirited, that is small. that attacks women's rights. you've got showing up today saying i'm staying in. going all in on birtherism. they decided they're going all in. >> but dana, whether he wanted to do this or not, is there a political point here to be made? will this rile up his base or play to some of his far right base that will be in tampa with him? >> it may bring out so

we've had donald trump, sheriff joe arpaio, really? >> these are the leaders of the republican party today. it's extremism. let me be clear. i'm a democrat. democrats have extremists, as well. you have extremists on the left and extremists on the right, i call them foamers, they foam at the mouth they believe it so much. much of the country is slap dab in the middle and they move this way or that way, but the foamers on each side. here's the problem, the foamers on the right are so much more vicious than the foamers on the left that it blows my mind just the concentration of their hatred for a man who, by the way, ari just mentioned the color of the president's skin. the president of the united states is, indeed, an african-american, he's a black american. he's also a white american. i hate to break the news to america, his mother was whiter than me and i haven't been in the sun in two years. >> it fries the circuit of the objective press and the d.c. press that only wants to keep score because they have to find something that democrat
