Of course, then he would have to explain why he let Col. Lakin spend time in prison rather than produce the document when he asked for it.
I don’t know if Trump is on Obama’s side but he has a lot more talking to do to convince me his is on the people’s side. Meanwhile, if he is causing Obama discomfort, I commend him and encourage him to continue.
Lakin is in prison because he refused to report for duty. He could have made his request for Obama’s birth certificate without going AWOL.
Are conservatives really supporting a deserter? I’m just baffled at this. People who desert and burn their draft cards and do not report when our nation calls them are people who do not deserve my respect, no matter how powerful their reason is.
If you think Lakin’s desertion is fine because Obama is illegitimate, then you should consider every Vietnam draft card burner fine because they viewed Vietnam as illegitimate. I would have put every draft dodger in prison and I would have put Lakin in prison, too.
You can’t have it both ways if you respect the rule of law.
