Old Article About Trump's False Attacks On President Obama's birtherism
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/17/us/politics/donald-trump-birther-obama.htmltitle of article:
Trump Drops False ‘Birther’ Theory, but Floats a New One: Clinton Started It
snip of article:
Donald J. Trump publicly retreated from his “birther” campaign on Friday, tersely acknowledging that President Obama was born in the United States — and effectively conceding that the conspiracy theory he had promoted for years was baseless.
Mr. Trump made no apology for and took no questions about what had amounted to a five-year-long smear of the nation’s first black president. Instead, he claimed, falsely, that questions about Mr. Obama’s citizenship were initially stirred by the Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, in her unsuccessful primary contest against Mr. Obama in 2008.
This article is from 2016, but it shows how he stirs up crap, but then retreats, you almost hope that he just walks away from his so called presidency.
He is and always will be an asshole.
