“My father would be humiliated and embarrased at what has happened to his party … that they have nominated someone like Donald Trump”, Ron Reagan said in an appearance on MSNBC. “I was born in Camden, by the way – New Jersey”.

“But the point is, what kind of president has he been?” she posed.
Trump supporter Ben Carson said Tuesday it would be a “good idea” if Trump apologized for his embrace of birtherism but Trump has studiously avoided the issue since he launched his presidential campaign past year — just Tuesday telling Bill O’Reilly “I don’t even talk about it anymore, Bill, because I just don’t bother talking about it”. However, apparently now something, the passage of time or perhaps his running for political office for the first time, has satisfied Trump.
In May 2011, a Gallup poll showed that 23 percent of self-identified Republican believed Obama was definitely or probably born in another country. But I find the entire topic really unbelievable.
Trump: no comment Trump was of course not alone in believing Obama was not born in the U.S.as the birther movement had many adherents, and may continue to.
Giuliani also blamed Hillary Clinton’s campaign for igniting the controversy over Obama’s birthplace in the first place, though Matthews said that was not true.
“You’ll have to ask him”, Conway said, before attempting to change the subject. “You are wrong on the fact here, Mr. Mayor”.
“Like Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump has the honesty and the bluntness to confront the challenges facing the American people”, said Pence in a speech to a crowd gathered at the library. Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961, despite allegations from birthers – including Trump – who charged that he was likely born in his father’s native Kenya, despite all evidence to the contrary. WPVI, a Philadelphia TV station, asked Trump in an interview that aired Sunday whether he regretted bringing up Obama’s birth certificate.
That challenge eventually led Obama to release a long-form birth certificate, which did indeed confirm that he was born in Hawaii. The same day, Trump’s vice presidential nominee Mike Pence said, “I believe Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, I accept his birthplace”.
“I believe it. He believes it”. Trump took some heat earlier in the election cycle when he said he knows more “than the generals do” about the Islamic State.
Pence refused to say whether Trump would consider sending in significant ground troops to the Middle East, saying he would not “signal to the enemy” his plans. Rather, Reagan always said our best days were ahead of us – “it’s morning in America”, was Reagan’s 1980 campaign slogan.
But pressed by Bash on the difference between the two nation’s governments – namely that in the USA democracy presidents share power with Congress – Pence acknowledged that Trump was not advocating for a dictatorship. “And then in the Federal Bureau of Investigation report it says that she can’t remember her exit interview from the Federal Bureau of Investigation because of her concussion because she didn’t have a memory”. And your candidate has on numerous occasions.

“We checked this before you came on”, Matthews added. “Can you say that now?” “Ronald Reagan spoke truth to the American people just like Donald Trump does”. “There’s something on that birth certificate that he doesn’t like”. “I just don’t know where he’s coming from on foreign policy and on economics and on Obamacare”.
