This part of the article is interesting:
“2) To find out as much as possible what the Trump Organization already knew and what they still may not know about the entire eligibility issue.
The discussions allowed Lichter to ask Trump about the Obamas Kenyan grandmother who said President Obama was born in Kenya, and about whether he knew that the Kenyan Assemblyman, James Orengo stated on their Assembly floor that it is documented that Obama was a son of their soil. Trump apparently did not know that and asked Lichter to send him the documentation backing up these last two points.
Lichter also had the opportunity when he was discussing whether a real long form birth certificate existed for Obama to bring up some additional points. He asked Trump if he was going to take the issue beyond the birth certificate and bring up the question of natural born citizenship. Trump asked Lichter to explain to explain precisely what that was. Lichter proceeded recite the precise clause from Article II, Section I and explain what the founders meant by it; and where they got the concept from. He said that he liked the way he was explaining it and made another request of Lichter. He asked him to forward all relevant documentation on the above topics.
The topic of Obamas social security number came up. Lichter explained that Obamas social security number belonged to someone from Connecticut born in 1890. Trump acknowledged that they were aware of this. “
Trump is definitely not up to speed on the finer points of “birtherism.” I’ve heard him make more than a few misstatements.
