I was paying attention back in 2007 and 2008 and don’t recall The Donald’s statements about Barry the way you’ve characterized them.
Could you cite media from those years where he was talking about supposedly spending millions on info that Barry was not a US citizen, which he was going to release “any day now?”
I see that what PDJT has done is to bite off an incredibly large chunk [of the Deep State] to chew. I give him quite a bit of leeway as the battle plans necessarily must dynamically adapt to the changing (figurative) battles and skirmishes.
Sorry, I just googled and it was actually 2011. He spoke of sending investigators to Hawaii and that the investigators could not believe what they are finding. A spokesperson for Trump said they would release the information when the time is right. They never released the information but teased it periodically until 2016 when Trump stated that Obama was born in the US. I don’t know how to post links but you can easily google it. And as far as it being fake news from
the liberal media he did an interview with Anderson Cooper, which is on YouTube, where he confirmed that it was 100% correct that he had investigators in Hawaii looking into the birth certificate. He also says he heard from “someone”’that the birth certificate was missing. Sorry I can’t post links but YouTube video is dated 4/25/2011 if that helps.
