When Trump wanted to see Obama’s birth certificate I figured that if Obama gave in we’d see the news cameras in Hawaii and they’d be looking closely at a piece of paper.
How suspicious that it was released online as a PDF (not to mention in layers).
I am surprised that Trump accepted it. I’m surprised Trump didn’t quickly respond with “Are you kidding? I want to see the original birth certificate. The actual document. The paper. Not a photo of something online. I could create in an hour what you posted. I want to see paper. Not a file”
And in the end... all is settled...he showed his birth cerificate.
Now either he is:
1) Hiding something
or
2) He was hoping that it was not settled and it would become an election issue to over-shadow everything else that’s going on.
Either way... this issue will come back strong after the elections whether he wins or not.
Apparently, the only privacy left to protect is Obama's right to lie.
If a person knowingly lies about being born in a state, and the said state has evidence proving the lie, can they withhold the evidence citing the person's "right to lie," and therefore the state would be violating that right by disclosing the truth of the lie?
That kind of twisted logic would destroy our legal system if it is ever argued that lying is a privacy right that cannot be challenged by the state without violating the "privacy" of the lier.
