Unfortunately, Trump has also criticized House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, for being "too far out in front" in reforming entitlements — in other words, for facing the awful truth.
Trump can legitimately take credit for forcing the president to issue a more convincing version of his Hawaii certificate of live birth. As Trump pointed out, it took him a mere 24 hours to produce his own birth certificate; why has it taken the president years?
