His aides had said it recently, but, for the first time, Donald Trump himself acknowledged President Obama is a natural-born American citizen.

“I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons”, Trump said, adding “I think they should disarm”.
“I’ll answer that question at the right time”, Trump said.
“Donald Trump is nothing more than a two-bit racial arsonist, who for decades has done nothing but fan the flames of bigotry and hatred”, said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-New York. “And people were doing that”, Trump said.
The comment marks yet another reversal for the GOP candidate, who previously said he supported the idea of normalized relations, but wished the USA had negotiated a better deal. He told the Daily Caller in September 2015 that he was “fine” with “the concept of opening with Cuba”.
Trump’s campaign said their candidate was not calling for violence against his rival. Only afterward did her campaign say that she had recently received a diagnosis of pneumonia. Fallon’s interview with Clinton airs Monday.
REPUBLICAN presidential candidate Donald Trump raised the threat of violence against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton again, suggesting her Secret Service guards voluntarily disarm and “see what happens to her.” .
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks”, Trump told a rally in North Carolina on August 9.
But it’s clear that what Trump said Friday night went beyond what he’d said previously.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton hugs Black Women’s Agenda President Gwen Hess as she takes the stage to speak at the Black Women’s Agenda’s 29th Annual Symposium, Friday, Sept. 16, 2016, in Washington. Let’s see what happens to her. Take their guns away. “It’ll be very risky”. I finished it. I finished it, you know what I mean. He also unveiled a new element to his introduction, taking the stage to music from “Les Miserables” against a backdrop reading: “Les Deplorables”.
“Welcome to all of you deplorables!”
Trump also claimed that he dispatched a team of investigator “and they can not believe what they’re finding”, he said on the “Today” show.
Earlier in that speech, Trump ridiculed Clinton’s use of a Secret Service detail, a perk the GOP standard-bearer enjoys as the party’s official nominee.
“Barack Obama was born in America, plain and simple, and Donald Trump owes him and the American people an apology”.
Donald Trump, Clinton’s Republican presidential rival, revived the so-called “birther” issue earlier this week when he declined to say definitively whether Obama is a us citizen.
Mr. Trump claimed Hillary Clinton got the birther ball rolling. But there’s no evidence of any Clinton involvement.
Obama took the unprecedented step of releasing his long-form birth certificate in 2011, amid persistent questions from Trump and others. He once sent a group of investigators to Hawaii – oh, the loopy things money can buy! – to dig up proof that Obama was not born there. He defended the investigation by saying people in his county had requested it.
Meanwhile Paul Penzone, running for Sheriff against Joe Arpaio this November, calls the Sheriff’s investigation “a waste of resources” and “nonsense”.
Neither Clinton nor anyone on her 2008 campaign claimed then-Sen.
Trump never apologised for the comments, despite angry denunciations from Clinton’s running mate, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia.
