I personally believe he intentionally set this up yesterday, so he could troll Hillary and more importantly, so they couldn’t bring this up in October, but I’m sure many will disagree with me :)
...headline grabbing so as to deflect Hilda’s mesirable numbers and health issue
When the news cycle is about Clinton, Trump’s numbers go up ... When the news cycle is about Trump, Hillary’s numbers go up. That’s the strategy, it’s that easy ...
Hillary is dropping in the polls, so she reaches into her dirty bag of tricks and pulls this out, and her media minions push it. Did you notice that even 0bama, when asked about it, said it was time to talk about important things. No one cares, just Hillary and her campaign staff/media.
Because Hillary is so desperate to find anything to attack Trump with. The MSM was acting like she just broke this story today, neglecting to mention that it was Hillary who started the whole Birther thing, with the help of her flying monkey Sid Blumenthal.
Hillary is an idiot who is desparate to win the election.
Hillary tossed a vicious slur against 0bama back in the 2008 primaries.
Did not work back in 2007
Very well might not work in 2016
Because Hillary fainted on camera and she wants to take focus off of her and the press is part of it.
Hillary and the media getting it out there to take attention away from her failures and Trump’s success.
When I watched this issue being brought up I wondered the same thing too. Just guessing, I would think that someone’s polling is showing Trump’s support among African Americans is better then is being let on.
Yes. They ran out of ammo. Rinse. Repeat
Yes. They ran out of ammo. Rinse. Repeat
The answer is easy. The left are gambling that revisiting the birther issue, and baiting Trump into some tirade, will turn off enough Trump supporters to hurt his poll numbers. Trump effectively and wisely ‘tabled’ it for now. It can be looked at later when the time is right, and I suspect it will.
Trump is running strong. Hillary’s puppeteer is in disorder. They can’’t let Trump have all the news cycles.
Trump shamelessly baits the media and then co-opts “can you hear the people sing”. It was brilliant.
The DNC tries to raise the birther issue up again. Keep the media off old very damaging news and feeding out fluff and lies when they can’t figure anything else out.
Hillary has hundreds of proactive supporters willing to do anything for her. Trump has #nevertrump and he’s still putting on a first class campaign.
I wish trump said, ‘I didn’t know president Obama was running again. Please keep the focus on Hillary.’ to the reporter.
It’s kind of an inoculation. Get it out of the way before the debates. By next week they will be on to something else.
Desperation
Blame the press:
Washington Post reporter asked Trump if he was prepared to put the birther issue to bed (since Trump was said to have led the Birther issue in 2008).
Trump responded not at this time ... because he had already planned to do so in his speech the next day.
Washington Post then ran a headline that Trump refuses to admit that Obama was born in the US
Clinton campaign then jumped on it.
Can’t talk about Hillary’s health so some new topic was needed.
