Donald Trump (Birther-N.Y.) is at it again. In double-barrelled interviews on NBC’s “Today Show” and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Trump continued his disgusting and dangerous dabbling in the disproved conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in the United States. This might be good for the ratings of his television show. This might even be good for his business. But it is terrible for the nation and public discourse that someone who claims to be so smart is so willing to perpetuate a lie.

Alex Koppelman snipped this strand of the conspiracy in Dec. 2008 and again in July 2009. And he’ll most likely have to do it again now that Trump has embraced the fallacy with both hands. This all stemmed from a interview of Sarah Obama, the second wife of the president’s grandfather, by Ron McRae, a street preacher, through a translator over the phone. As Koppelman reported in 2009, “Sarah Obama is not the president’s biological grandmother, but he calls her ‘Granny Sarah.’”
In a clear lost-in-translation moment (and over an international phone line), which you can listen to in full here, Mrs. Obama said she was there for her grandson’s birth. When McRae asks where in Mombassa the president was born, the translator, Vitalis Akech Ogombe, repeatedly corrected him....

If he’s not legit, then what? Then what???? You don’t think there will be rioting in the streets if someone (whoever that is) tries to remove him? It’s probably his plan all along.
Trump may want to be President, but I think he smells blood, and he damn sure wants to be the one who exposes the biggest fraud in the history of the nation.
It’s a big, bold play. But isn’t that exactly the kind of deals that Trump lives for?
*sniff, sniff*
Why, I do believe I detect the distinct aroma of desperation, wafting with a hint of panic, and just a hint of despair.
I don’t think there is enough popcorn in the world for what is to come next—especially if Trump has got the “goods”—whatever they may be.
If it should happen, I intend to enjoy every glorious second of it!
God I hope Trump has the goods on Obama. That's the one thing that might save him.
Good question. Not so much attention being played to the “so what” in all of this.
I just want those creepy, stupid, feminazis off the Supreme Court that the fraud put on!!!!
Now I’m watching the unhinged Lawrence O’Donnell talking to some hack leftist guest about how Trump is only saying these things to boost the ratings of The Celebrity Apprentice.
Well, after he is finished with this he can help Geraldo find Jimmy Hoffa...
Why Mr. Trump, you dance divinely!
Not to mention has shown nothing but animus for patriotic Americans contrasted by open arms toward those with open contempt for the United States.
The man is black alright but it has nothing to do with anything as superficial as skin color...he is a black mark not only on American history but on human civilization .
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Message to the Donald. Ask me up...I’ll dance to your tune any time!!! Obummer needs to be made up for the cameras these days...he’s looking decidedly sickly!!! HaHa!!
LOL
Geraldo couldn't find Hoffa if the drum full of cement was sitting in front of him.
Jonathan, you liberal jackass, I have few questions for you. Why is what Trump is doing disgusting or dangerous? Why is it terrible for the nation? Why is it a fallacy or a lie? Where is Obama’s freaking LFBC? How freaking hard is this? Why was his first executive order as POTUS used to seal all of his personal information? Why has he spent a large amount of money (millions) and used the resources of the US Justice Department to fight all of the law suits against him? Why would anyone do these things if they have nothing to hide and could make it all go away by simply providing their birth certificate? Don’t bother answering, Jonathan, you Obamabot, we know your answers will be as phony as your hero!
LOL! Problem is, the Don probably already knows where JH is... :)
Then any law or bill he has ever signed and every person appointed to any position is null and void. All the deficit spending money sent to unions, Acorn and bailouts of Democrat donors/supporters etc. should then be paid back, in full, to the American taxpayer by the Democrat party that certified him as being eligible to hold the highest office in our Republic.
Then arrest all conspirators involved for treason and give them swift and final judgment.
The silly liberal media should just ask Obama in person to prove he was born in Hawaii. Obama says he was born there so why can’t they take the tiny step by asking him to prove it instead of talking to each other in their idiotic echo chamber. It’s so little to ask Obama. So what are they afraid of. Thinking prissy Obama would cry? So what’s the problem? They can make believe they are asking Bush instead.
But, But “But it is terrible for the nation and public discourse”, doncha know!
At first blush that sounds like silly wishful thinking.
However given the fact that American history has turned into a stranger-than-fiction bad novel in recent years, maybe that's the way such a bad book would end.
It would sure make a far better ending than his gang of clueless "best and the brightest" theorists he's surrounded himself with successfully completing their mission of dismantling the greatest experiment in freedom in human history.
