I agree. Trump has nothing. He is playing a deep game though, and I am interested in what he hopes to gain.
The manager/attorney/director whoever he was, the guy that Trump had the “Birther” researchers send their material to, STATED the he KNEW obama was born in Hawaii. So, why is Trumps top trusted guy, who was responsible for collecting the material from the researchers, certain that obama was indeed born in HI, and his boss pretends to have proof that obama was born elsewhere?
You never let your opponent know what cards you hold.
What if he didn't? What if he told the truth then and lied later [when his presidential asperations ran aground on the belated knowledge that Kenyan-born wouldn't cut it]?
Something made this big name literary agency pursue Obama—a man w no publication experience and no writing cred. They recruited him and gave him a fat advance to write a book (which he's never written—though he spent the entire advance) all out of the blue. Why? *Just* because he was the first president of the Harvard Law Review ‘of color’?
That alone would not be enough. Not for a shiftless stoner from HI.
Now, being born in Kenya—that changes things. That is a story the liberals at the agency would find compelling.
But would they go so far as to advance well over a hundred thousand dollars to a man who had horrible writing skills [read any of the material he is known to have written all by himself—it would suck at the HS level, much less beyond]and an unremarkable tenure as a do-nothing pres of the Harvard Law Review [his editors described him as a disengaged showboat who never actually lifted a finger to get their publications out] if all he did was *claim* to be born in Kenya?
It seems likely, if not certain, that ‘fact-checker’ *did* check him. She discovered—as was far easier in those days—that he really was born in Kenya. Her bosses liked the picture that emerged—i.e.: Kenyan-born man makes history as first mixed-race Harvard Law Review President’—and cut the check.
Unless you think big literary agencies throw hundreds of thousands of dollars around at a whim, my version makes sense. Tell me how it doesn't.
PS: This also explains why Obama thought HI was located in Asia. You know the geographical location of your birthplace. He knows all about Kenya, but he doesn't even know that HI is not in Asia. Think about it.
Because Trump believes he can hold birthers to Mittens, while simultaneously allowing Mittens to do the hula, er, stick with the establishment line...
Is Trump’s trusted guy really trustworthy ?
Trump just hates Obama. He also knows the truth, and it pisses him off that Obama mocked him at that dinner.
Trump can call any number of computer experts and ask for an opinion on the longform, and everyone tells him it is a fraud.
He is relishing the birther explosion that is about to hit.
Like all of us, he is sick of communist dirtbag reporters covering for our first Marxist president who hates America.
I think Corsi has Trump wrong. He’s got a huge ego, but I think he loves America. It was just too tempting for Trump to take Corsis work and run with it.
