Report: Trump continues to question Obama's birth certificate
CNN ^ | 11/29/17 | Sophie Tatum and Jim Acosta

Posted on 11/29/2017 5:32:11 PM PST by Seizethecarp

President Donald Trump questioned the politics of his decision to finally acknowledge former President Barack Obama was born in the US, which he did late during the campaign in 2016, according to a source close to the White House.

The source said that shortly after he made the statement, Trump told aides that he would have done better in the polls had he continued to stand his ground on the birth certificate issue.

Trump has continued to question the legitimacy of Obama's birth certificate during private conversations in recent months, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing advisers who discussed Trump's statements.

Trump still questioning Obama's birthplace is just one of several instances The Times pointed to as examples of the President's reliance on "manufactured facts," as the newspaper reported Tuesday.

One sitting US senator quoted by the Times, "who listened as the President revived his doubts" about the issue, "chuckled" when speaking about what was said. Trump "has had a hard time letting go of his claim that Mr. Obama was not born in the United States," the senator, who "asked not to be named to discuss private conversations," told The New York Times.

CNN’s anonymous sources.

BS to distract from liberal horndogs.

“the senator, who “asked not to be named to discuss private conversations,” told The New York Times.”

Trump can remember who he talked to about it.

And so do I. I know we haven’t seen it yet.

I’m completely willing to believe he was born in the US. My guess is that there is something embarrassing to the Heroic Obama Narrative on the real one. Such as he is listed as “White”. Or his father is not Obama, SR. something like that.

We also haven’t seen his school records, his medical records, his selective service records. Am I missing anything? What a fraud this douche was and is.

Trump’s right to continue to question Obama’s BC. It was a fraud, Obama was born in Kenya.

Ping to CNN seizing on NYT minor mention in an article to hype all day that Trump is reviving Obama’s BC controversy!

The NYT only made a small reference to Trump’s renewed interest in Barry’s BC deep in this article and not even in the headline:

“Trump Once Said the ‘Access Hollywood’ Tape Was Real. Now He’s Not Sure.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/28/us/politics/trump-access-hollywood-tape.html?_r=1&wpmm=1&wpisrc=nl_daily202

However, the NYT readers went nuts over Trump’s renewed interest in the BC.

On can only hope that Sheriff Arpaio’s evidence will be brought before a proper investigatory body at Trump’s insistence...soon!

President Trump, ask TPTB who was actually BO’Bs father. If, indeed, he was an English subject from Kenya, BO’B is no more qualified to hold this high office than Nan from San Fran would be in wearing a habit. On the other hand, should the facts be revealed that Frank Marshall Davis, was his pop’s name, we might sharply close the book on this sorry state of affairs.

Trump could have been trolling the guy.

Doing the whole Gutfeld thing.

I'm pretty sure Greg Gutfeld knows that Obama wasn't born in Kenya, but he's been known to make reference to such stories to get a rise out of some people or a laugh out of others.

Report: Trump continues to question Obama's birth certificate

We will continue to say that he is the biggest America Hating Imposter ever elected to the POTUS position.

He is so illegimate as our POTUS that it ain't funny anymore.

Regardless of the veracity of this story, the fact remains that the guy called Obama has never proven his true identity to the level of satisfaction required by a liquor store clerk.

Saw this on HuffPo this morning. They wrapped their article with a Trump tweet questioning the birth certificate -- FROM 2012!!!!!!

An unnamed Senator...... Let me guess.... his name rhymes with Rich McDonald. Or Don McRain. Or Tall Cyan. Or Mensy Layum.

It’s not just Obama’s birth certificate. It’s also Obama’s Social Security Number, his Selective Service Card, his write-up in college that said he was from Kenya, his Official Certificate of Nomination and probably more. It’s one thing for a person to have issues with one of his documents, it’s entirely different for a person to have issues with so many documents.

Why the bs phony layered image birth certificate then? That thing is as phony as a $3 bill.

And the msm just accepted it on Obama’s word, no investigation.
