See [here.](http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/trump-still-birther-says-obama-was-born-in) God what an idiot. What’s his angle here? Just raw stupidity, or is he trying to make money somehow? ---

There has been a couple of news cycles not revolving around Trump. This was clearly an unacceptable situation that Trump needed to remedy. ---

How do birthers (which is just a pretty name for racists) explain the birth announcements in the Hawaiian newspapers, not to mention the doctors and nurses who recall the birth? Maybe Trump is just a bitter old fool. It must be hard living with the knowledge that the only women who have ever touched his dick did so with dollar signs dancing in their eyes. ---

my only input is this…even if Obama wasn’t an american citizen when he got in office, I think after 4 years as president he should qualify. Also, what treasonous actions has he made giving away america to those wily kenyans? ---

> [@pikey\_pete](#): > > even if Obama wasn’t an american citizen when he got in office, I think after 4 years as president he should qualify. Regardless of your stance on the issue (normal or batshit insane) this makes no sense. Serving in office doesn’t change anything. ---

Serving in office doesn’t change anything. i find the whole birther thing to be a few bricks short of sarah palin’s light load. therefore i find it impossible to be serious when encountering these aberrants ---

Jeez, didn’t the sate of Hawaii just hand over the original BC to Arizona because a couple of “experts” said the one on the Internets looks photoshopped? That Arizona Secretary of State was supposed to make a comment this last Wednesday about the original BC. He did not. I’m hopping this will shut his ass up.
