I don’t know why they are so mad, he made the statement!
Quite. Don’t know what they were salivating so hard for. Not like he’s going to just lay himself out for a cannibalistic feast.
Lies on top of lies. The press claims Trump called a press conference to discuss his birther thing., No, he had this event planned days in advance. He did not call this event to satisfy the press badgering.
The press claimed that if Trump said Obama was born in the US, that would end it. His campaign put out an official statement, and the press said the campaign statement didn't count, because Trump didn't sign it. So Trump signals that he will comment about it the next day. He did. He said the same thing the printed release said, in fewer words.
The issue is entirely a press creation. Trump never brought the irrelevancy of Obama's birthplace into the race. The press did. The press resurrected the subject because they believe it damages Trump.
The press has to do its "damage Trump" function, and Trump has set things up so it runs its course and burns out more quickly than it would have otherwise. It will burn out, because the issue now is "did the Democrats participate in birtherism, and do so to advance Hillary?"
