Trump defiant as poll numbers rise, won’t say Obama was born in United States
Washington Post ^ | Sept. 15, 2016 | Robert Costa

Posted on 09/15/2016 5:17:31 PM PDT by Innovative

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in an interview here that he remains unwilling to say that President Obama is born in the United States, that he is more bullish than ever on his chances to win and that he is not exploring the launch of a new media company in case he loses the race.

Trump also made a far-from-subtle push — in the interview and in a letter from his doctor released Thursday — to be seen as vigorous and healthy as his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, returned to the campaign trail after being treated for mild pneumonia.

Why is it important what he "won't" say?!

WP is pathetic to even put that into the title.

Also, Trump is running against Hillary, not Obama.

The Dems and their MSM surrogates must be getting really desperate by now.

If that’s what Trump believes, why should he start lying?

and who the #### cares with 4 months out of 96 left.

What is Hillary’s position on this oh-so-important matter? After all the entire Birther issue was STARTED by Hillary in 2008.

Well Trump let it slide “for the good of the country” or will he report what happened for the good of the country? I hope the latter.

They want Trump to start the birther issue because the Compost thinks that will awaken the base? True desperation on display by the left. Looking for anything to get Hillary’s campaign out of the dumps.

After all the entire Birther issue was STARTED by Hillary in 2008...and Trump should point this out every time the issue comes up - might put an end to the big lie Powell was pushing that this is a "racist" argument....

Why Trump gave them back their press credentials is beyond me. They are not journalists. They’re paid flaks of the Clinton PAC.

Why shoudl Trump say this?

Obamas own grandmother says he was born in Kenya and she was there!

Obamas own autobiography book jacket says he was born in Kenya. You would think he would have demanded it be corrected.

News flash for ya WaPo: I don’t think he was born here either - so how do you like them apples?

Nobody goes to the lengths he did to hide EVERYTHING that would put to rest this controversy. And experts still say the BC was a fraud.

Gotta be tough for you boys and girls not being able to control and manipulate a candidate, eh?

“Mild” pneumonia?

The Washington Post author of that claim is Robert Costa.

Robert Costa used to be the chief political correspondent for the allegedly Conservative magazine National Review!

Everyone who visits North Korea has got to bow before the giant statues of the Kims, and everyone who runs for President in the United States has got to bear witness that Obama is really an American.

At least in Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post world.

Bunch of crap out of the Left. The Democrats on HRC’s side of the field during the 2008 campaign were the ones so sayeth the leftist resources I’ve checked out that started the birther rumor.

Regardless if it was her, or her minions it was the Leftists in effort to punk Obama that started the whole damned thing. Trump probably should have left it alone, but he did NOT start it, and because he did repeat what the Leftist’s said he’s catching the flack. Some times it’s best to leave what the other side says to them.

Wtf??? Trump is not in charge of Obamas records. Why is he expected to validate where Obama was born?

And now that you mention these things. I seem to remember a Chicago newspaper article boasting that a man from Kenya had become Senator.

Nobody had a problem then.
