As for being acquainted with someone, or having business dealings with them, it isn’t proof of anything nefarious. It certainly doesn’t mean he or she is bought and paid for by the individual in question. I think we need to stay away from that kind of speculation unless compelling proof surfaces. If Trump can get to the bottom of the birth certificate issue, and if he can put enough doubt in the minds of people so they start pressuring the media to do its job, I wouldn't treat Trump as an enemy.
You never want to ask a question you don’t already know the answer.
