Trump (2020): Look at Wall St to see evidence of the strong economy. Trump (2011): Wall St? Frauds.
Twice-bankrupted casino owner Donald Trump has made questioning Obama’s birthplace a “pivotal part” of his supposed presidential run, but because Trump’s concerns about Obama’s birth certificate have been asked and answered years ago, the reality TV boss has been forced to resort to increasingly bizzare justifications for his doubts. Last night, Trump told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly that he questions the veracity of Obama’s birth certificate because he knows plenty of people who can easily forge documents to commit fraud:
TRUMP: Bill, I grew up with Wall Street geniuses. What they do in terms of fraud, and how they change documents.

So, why should we trust the Dow or how Wall Street are doing measures of the economy when in the words of Trump himself, they are nothing but frauds and sources of forged documents and reports?
