Props to Donald Trump for being man enough to congratulate President Obama following his administration's takedown of Osama Bin Laden.

The man who repeatedly suggested our president wasn't born in the United States (until Obama produced a “long-form” birth certificate last week) let his guard down and ate his words for a day.

Here's what he told ABC News:

I want to personally congratulate President Obama and the men and women of the Armed Forces for a job well done.

I am so proud to see Americans standing shoulder to shoulder, waving the American flag in celebration of this great victory. We should spend the next several days not debating party politics, but in remembrance of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and those currently fighting for our freedom. God Bless America!

Word up, Donald. Your words today make you less of a clown candidate, and that can only be good for your fellow Republicans in 2012.

We even suggested that you would ask for Bin Laden's death certificate — possibly stirring up new conspiracy theories.

Glad you didn't.
