For years, before he won the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, Donald Trump was something like the spiritual leader of the Republican Party’s right-wing base. He earned his place in the hearts and minds of conservative voters by doing what most Republican politicians at the time refused to do: He attacked Barack Obama as a foreign interloper and openly questioned his right to serve as president of the United States.
Birtherism made Trump a celebrity on the right. It made him a force to reckon with in the Republican Party. It made him so popular with Republican voters that, while fighting to win the 2012 race for the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney ventured out to Las Vegas to receive Trump’s blessing and support. “There are some things that you just can’t imagine happening in your life,” Romney said at the event. “This is one of them. Being in Donald Trump’s magnificent hotel and having his endorsement is a delight. I’m so honored and pleased to have his endorsement.”
It may not have looked like it at the time, but birtherism also put Trump in a position to win the Republican presidential nomination for himself just four years later. Birtherism sits at the foundation of Trump’s political career. It is the energy that fueled his ascent to the highest peak of American politics. And as he tries to scale that peak for a third time — and for the first time against a nonwhite opponent — he has returned to birtherism as he makes his case to the public.

LOOK! SQUIRREL!
Jamelle is a racist POS.
Trump’s kids all non-NBCs except for Tiff, IIRC.
We can talk about 0bama’s birth at any time.
At birth, Kameltoe was:
- indian
- jamaican
- American ... IF her mother had started immigration
OBVIOUSLY, Kameltoe is not a natural born citizen.
We are already voting for him, you don't have to sell him any harder!
This, apparently all from what little Trump said, at the black female journalists’ event, about Harris’ recent witcheroo from Indian to “black”.
NYT is running on fumes.
Why was Loretta Fuddy murdered?
switcheroo
...but witcheroo works too!
boy did Ms. Fuddy ever go down without a fight...
Hillary Clinton was first, but I wouldn’t expect the NYT to breathe a word of it.
Birth status is a legitimate constitutional issue.
Jamelle Bouie of the New York Times and the Left scoffs at the Constitution, ONLY legal bulwark protecting our freedom from gov’t tyranny. THAT is why the Left hates the Constitution.
Does the NY Times think Kamabla should be holding a press conference today?
We already know that won’t work.
Once again, they are full of S***. Like that issue “made” him, lol. That’s a red herring issue, anyway.
Kameltoe is an anchor baby.
Good memory
Like willie horton and al gore
The New York Slimes *hates* this one simple trick!
Donald Trump and Birtherism? Yup. I guess it’s time for the truth to come out about how Sidney Blumenthal was Trump’s plant in the Hillary Clinton netherworld and how Trump manipulated the Clinton campaign into spreading all those vicious stories. Why, it even raises the possibility that the Steele dossier and Russiagate were Hillary’s attempt at a tit for tat.
What is truly impressive is how, over 25 years ago, Trump got Obama’s publisher to write its biographical blurb saying the Obama was born in Kenya. Talk about a political mastermind and 4-D chess.
Ya gotta admire the NYT for finally breaking this story. I assume there’s a multi-part series in the works.
The term “Birtherism” is slander. An honest press would ask if someone running for President met the Constitutional requirements to do so. Instead of asking, they treat anyone who asks as a kook.
Of course, with our one-party press, it all depends on party affiliation. The NYTs would embrace birtherism if it meant challenging a Republican. “No one is above the law,” etc.
