Born in the U.S.A.


Trump: Obama was born in the U.S.A.

Period
Now, he says... let's move on to making American great and strong again. 

This is on the heels of another attempt at a Politico hit piece (or was it a Talking Points Memo piece) regarding how Trump "doubled down" on the birther issue, because he told reporters that he thought we should be talking about the economy and jobs, and that the issue was dogging the "media" more than his campaign.

Turned out he avoided the question so that the press would cover the announcement that another 44 high ranking members of the military were endorsing him. The press apparently believe he would be giving a big statement on Obama's birth place.

Guess his statement wasn't exactly what they were expecting.

The truth, here folks is that the left is running out of ammunition. Since Donald Trump has not done much new to make negative Trump news, the media wants to drudge up past issues and try to recirculate them.

Today the left is literally falling all over themselves in anger because he basically made the birther issue a non-issue and made the media out to be the ones focused on everything but what is important. They are also upset that they covered this event (that made him look good) because they believed he was about to make some outrageous statement about Obama's birth place. They got played, because they are desperate for something else to attack him for.

Oh, and apparently they are upset because he blamed the birther movement on Clinton and 2008 which the left is demanding is a "deplorable" lie.

Note: Polifact blames it on Clinton supporters from 2008, and not Clinton herself. But that is just splitting hairs. The reality is that his birthplace being a question was originally brought up by her campaign and her surrogates, if not by her personally. What is patently false is the suggestion that it originated with Donald Trump. A lie the left repeats, but is not challenged by Polifact or anyone else.

My only question is how far Politico, TPM, and Huffington Post will look foolish "doubling down" on this non-issue.

On a similar note, Politico was trying to gain some traction with the idea that he "attacked" a clergy member of a Black church he was visiting last week. The attack was in regards to a particular clergy member who was against Donald Trump speaking... who interrupted him because he brought up Hillary Clinton. He promptly (and respectfully) changed the subject. Afterwards when asked about her, Trump suggest that she had appeared nervous about the whole situation of him speaking at the church. I guess calling a critical Black clergy member nervous about his appearance at her church would be a 21st century dog whistle call for calling her the n-word.

Finally, at the very end, he gave a 10-second statement acknowledging for the first time that Barack Obama was born in the United States. Then he walked off without taking any questions.

Brilliant? Of course, he's not black.
