Quote Of The Day: Bill Cosby To Donald Trump “Run or Shut up!”

Uh oh, “The Donald” done ran Bill hot!

Legendary actor-comedian Bill Cosby said that Donald Trump is “full of it” when it comes to his potential bid for the White House, telling TODAY’s Meredith Vieira Thursday that Trump should “run or shut up.”

Cosby was passionately talking about his work helping to further education in downtrodden urban neighborhoods, but he worked himself into a lather when Vieira asked him about Trump, who appeared in an earlier show segment.

Vieira mentioned her lengthy, pretaped interview with the business mogul in which he talked about the possibility of his running for president in 2012. Funnyman Cosby grimaced and said, “Oh, please, with Donald Trump, take him home with you!”

“Why do you say that?” Vieira asked. Cosby responded, “Because he’s full of it,” then sat silent with a chagrined look on his face for several seconds.

While Vieira pressed him on what prompted his attitude toward Trump, Cosby said that he is tired of Trump’s “will he or won’t he?” waffling about throwing his hat in the ring for the nation’s highest office. “You run or shut up,” Cosby said.

When Meredith implied that Trump would have to be “taken seriously” if he does decide to run, Cosby made it clear who’s side he was on.

While saying “I don’t care” as to whether Trump officially runs for president, Cosby bristled when Vieira said, “If he runs, you’ve got to take it seriously.”

“No, I don’t,”” Cosby replied. “Not him, not him. Look, people have run for president for any reason. Come on, open your mouth — run!”

The former 1980s sitcom star, who still continues to pack theaters with his stand-up comedy act, did use some of his trademark humor to show he is definitely with Team Obama when it comes to the current administration.

“I like him very, very much,”” he told Vieira. “I love his wife, I love his children, I love his mother-in-law. I think they have a dog — I love his dog.”

Bill can be as peaceful a man as he wants to be, but something about the tone of his voice suggests that he would love for Trump to catch his fade!

  • Sanriobaby =^.^=

    How can anyone actually take “The Donald” seriously and vote for him as President when walks out the house everyday w/that ridiculous hair and thinks that’s it’s a good look? Bill looks just as annoyed as the rest of us!

  • if anything be noble

    Heathcliff is having none of it. Daaaaag. It’s kinda like when Vanessa thought it’d be a good idea to take her butt down to Maryland for the evening to see The Wretched. #poorvanessa

    Lol @ noble

  • b-nice

    Thank you Bill Cosby because to run for President of the United states of America you MUST produce all documents that the said idiot Donald Trump is suggesting our President does not have. Heck to get a driver’s license you have to produce those documents. This is so stupid. When President Barack Obama was Senator did anyone ask to see his citizenship. When Regan, Clinton, Bush, Carter, Ford or even that crook Nixon became presidents did ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND ASK TO SEE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE’S BIRTH CERITIFICATE’S. Don’t tell me this has nothing to about RACE. Like Bill Cosby said this morning “RUN OR SHUT UP”!

    B-Nice, I am with you…No one has ever asked those folks for a copy of their birth certificates and they are not guaranteed to come from here…Just because they are white does not mean they were born in the United States…John McCain was born in the Panama Canal and no one asked him for his and he ran for top job…

  • nikkiwa

    lol you go BILL!

  • reita collins

    Believe it or not,Trump probably will run in the primaries all the way to the end and drop out just before it’s official.He only wants the billion dollars that he’s probably gonna snake oil opposition out of to match against Obama’s goal,then take the money and run!He’s a money man!He sees how easy white americans brains are when telling them what he’s always been good at…whatever they want to hear to beat this black man down.IF THE IDIOTS DID IT FOR BUSH AND SARAH,WHY IN HELL WON’T THEY GO THE DISTANCE FOR HIM!

  • Roderick

    Well damn, Bill. Tell us how you really feel.

  • Rodney Edwards

    Trump aren’t ready yet. Can not beat Obama.

  • google Ross Perot for President 1992

    Rewind! Billionaire Ross Perot, for President 1992! Trump is going to make the same kind of BILLONAIRE AZZ OF HIMSELF on national TV!

  • Honut Sinti

  • eliteliberal

    Trump is a fraud. He switched parties about 4 times. He does nothing for anybody but rich people. F**k him!

    My friends told me about — SearchingM illionaire* C0- M —–told It’s the be’st pl’ace to me’et Milli’onaire si’ngles. It is the first and best club for wealthy people and their admirers. D’ating CEOs, professional athletes, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, professional models and cheerleaders, and even Hollywood celebrities is an easy experience there…you don’t have to be rich ,but you can meet one there. ;)
    nice experience——-

    So glad Bill Cosby tells it like it is.I have only seen Whoopi give stupid Trump what for.It annoys me when black celebrities are so silent and scared of speaking out against people like Trump-Good on Bill.
    Plus black blogs need to up there game and give informative stories about issues that affect us.

  • ElGee

    Believe it or not, the only reason why he is making this an “issue” is because they want to use this as an excuse to let “Aahnold” (The Terminator) hold the presidential seat. He can’t, because he wasn’t born over here (Austria, I think, but not sure). The argument that Trump makes carries no weight simply because even if The Honorable Barack Obama was born in Kenya, he’s still a citizen by default, because his mother was a U.S. citizen, so his argument is invalid. The logic is to make it such a travesty for him to have been in office (Obama) & make putting Schwarzenegger (spelling?) in office the lesser of two evils. Don’t be surprised if it happens……

  • realdeal

    Arnold doesn’t fit into the republican party of today. He is more like a moderate democrat. I agree that Donald Trump is a fraud and he will just collect money from stooopid people. He is only in it to enrich himself more, set up more businesses and get more connections. He’s been through bankruptcy court more than once. He ain”t fit to rule.

  • Just Sayin…

    No we’ve all actually known – it’s taken you guys a while to figure out what we’ve known all along. How dare you think we’re too stupid to know – there’s no pretension anymore – it’s all out there in the open and you know what? We feel the same way about them as they do about us!! So sit down…

  • Just Sayin…

    …and you need English lessons…Trump aren’t ready – really!?…go read a book.

  • MacMoon

    Fucc Trump

  • Dread

    Id rather trump then this chi-town slick talking hustler thats done nothing for the U.S.A then blame
    everything on someone eles..Obama hasn’t showed me anything to make me think that he’s the best man for the job..Open your eyes Black America..Obama never promised you anything at all..

  • SMH

    You full of sh*t. That is all.

  • Dread

    @ SMH and why’s that? Because I can see past the skin tone of your precious so called “black” president??The guy is an inexperience leader but all of black america thinks he’s some second coming of jesus and god.Blind leading the blind if you ask me..

  • kaa

    Donald let’s start with a decent hair style before we start talking about running for president. His interviews are down right scary.

  • Missai

    So your telling me Bush did better? Skin color aside…Bush got us in the position we are in and it took him eight years to do it. So your only giving Obama 3 years to clean up atleast 8 years of mess? That makes alot of sense? SMDH….Do the research…don’t listen to everything you hear on tv.

  • Missai

    Too many people are focusing on race….focus on how well the economy is doing right now…try focusing school improvements….The government is not fighting over issues regarding us, it’s about the republicans being in control and not willing to compromise. That’s not how a government works in the FREE world…

  • Dread

    Actually the republicans are only in control of 1/3 of the federal government which means they don’t have complete control

  • Missai

    That wasn’t the question. I already now that….It’s all about trying to gain as much control as possible..No one said complete control…You don’t have to be the majority to SEEK complete control. They need to compromise…
