“President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period”, Mr Trump declared, enunciating each word in a brief statement at the end of a campaign appearance. Blumenthal and one unpaid volunteer are so far the only ones in Clinton’s sphere who have been alleged so far to have engaged in any birther talk during that election. Do they believe Trump?

Trump also alleged that Clinton’s campaign relies on the exhausted tactic of smearing opponents who question her policies as racists.
“For 5 years he’s lead the birth movement to delegitimize our first black president”, says Hillary Clinton. Mook said then, “A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way”. Obama lampooned Trump at that year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, as a stone-faced Trump looked on. He rode birtherism to the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump accused Democratic rival Hillary Clinton of starting the so-called “birther” controversy during the 2008 primary campaign against Obama, an accusation that independent fact-checking sites have rated as false. “You know what I mean?” Appearing in Washington, he said Obama was born in the United States but then incorrectly suggested that the Clinton campaign had started the conspiracy theory.
Trump made a battlefield conversion of dubious authenticity.
Trump wondered how Clinton would fare under those circumstances.
What do you know today that you did not learn on April 27, 2011?
“Hillary Clinton’s number one challenge and problem is getting the Democratic activist base enthused about her”.
Trump and his aides actually take credit for the birth certificate release, which Trump said “finished” the controversy.
Still, Trump may not have an enormous downside to his tardy admission.
This was his first campaign event after making a mockery of an announcement at his Washington D.C. hotel during which he attempted to walk back his pervasive “birther” claims. “That’s as far as I would go”.
Dickerson also asked Lewis about Trump’s argument that Mr. Obama has been such a bad president that it will prevent another African American from being elected to the office for a long time.

Mrs. Obama said there are those who continue to challenge her husband’s citizenship “up to this very day”. I think most people were, as well. “This sickening display shows more than ever why Donald Trump is totally unfit be president”. He has previously written about film for Bloody Disgusting, We Got This Covered, What Culture, and The Celebrity Cafe. It’s fairly typical. I was pretty confident about where I was born. In the memo, Penn wrote of Obama, “His roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited”.
