Trump mum while campaign says he believes Obama born in US

“Period”, he said Friday morning.

Donald Trump spent five years pumping this poison into the American political bloodstream, and now he’s trying to lie his way out of any responsibility for what he has done.

He reiterated claims made by a campaign spokesman Thursday that his rival for the White House, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, was the first to claim Obama was not born in the United States during her unsuccessful bid for the presidential nomination in 2008.

There is no evidence that is true, and Clinton and her allies have strongly denied that suggestion. “I would like to have him show his birth certificate, and can I be honest with you, I hope he can”, Trump said on NBC’s “Today” show.

Later that year he continued raising questions when speaking with Chris Matthews. And David Plouffe, President Obama’s former campaign manager, told Bloomberg News, “I think she can be super effective in suburban areas”. Still, he can’t seem to help himself from making headlines about matters that border on madness, and serve only to feed the fire of those who doubt Trump has the temperament to be president.

This dishonesty blew the media’s mind and the mind of anyone who thinks Trump should be condemned for his terrible behavior and chronic dishonesty. Politico has reported that the theory first emerged in the spring of 2008 when Clinton supporters passed around an anonymous email claiming that Obama was born in Kenya.

“I think the president could be pretty effective [as a surrogate]”, said Mike Hais, co-author of the book “Millennial Momentum: How a New Generation is Remaking America”.

He said similar things to “The View”, at CPAC, to ABC and to others.

Donald Trump’s campaign on Thursday said he believes President Barack Obama was born in the United States, a major reversal from a line of attack Trump launched five years ago. Drawing on a frequently quoted line from her convention speech, Mrs. Obama said her husband had responded to those questions by “going high when they go low”. It says to them, no matter how smart and hard-working you are, no matter how much you achieve, no matter how carefully you make yourself unthreatening to the white majority, no matter how deftly you manage to move through the most elite institutions in America and dazzle everyone with your talents, you will still not be accepted as a genuine citizen of this country. But Kaine said that what he saw in Honduras was the value of “family and faith and hard work”.

Kaine said that taught him to never “tolerate somebody just using a broad brush to trash somebody due to their national origin”.

Although Obama released his long form birth certificate in 2011, this is the first time that Trump has said that the President was born in the U.S.

The Republican candidate spoke against a backdrop of veterans in a sprawling ballroom at his new Washington hotel.

“You watch my statement; we have to keep the suspense going”, he said.

The birther movement preceded Trump’s raising it, but for years he popularized the issue, questioning the validity of Obama’s birth certificate as late as the past year.

“She is the one that started it, and she was unable or incapable of finishing it. That’s the way it worked out”. The theory was then latched on to by the right and eventually Donald Trump in 2011, when he called for Obama to release his birth certificate.

Update: Hillary Clinton released a statement in response to Donald Trump’s press conference: “Trump’s actions today were disgraceful”.

Sanders is the longest-serving independent in the history of Congress and was Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic primary.

Gen. Thomas McInerney said in the 2010 affidavit that there was “widespread and legitimate concerns that the President is constitutionally ineligible to hold office” and called those concerns “widely held”. Trump said in a CNN interview. He told Irish TV that year that Obama “should come clean”, Buzzfeed reported.
