I don’t understand whats so brilliant about this.
Punking the media is one thing, it’s funny but they won’t change their agenda.
The voters won’t even see this event. They’ll be told it was Trump being a bastard. The Daily Show will talk about it.
The truth is that Obama was not born in the US. Thanks to brave people like Sheriff Arpaio and his crew, and others who not only scoff at the threat of being poked fun of - but scoff at the threat of -being killed-.
I’m not pleased about this. Obama wasn’t born here and this crime can’t be swept under the rug.
I do like him taking the chance to put veterans at the mic and talk about real issues. But again, those won’t reach anyone. Nothing good happened here today.
Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals:
RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
You don’t understand new media. Trump does.
What Trump said at the end is what matters. He said that Hillary Clinton brought up the issue in 2008 and he settled it in 2011. He went on to say that Obama was born in the USA. Period. (end of conversation) See: Obama Birth Certificate Released By White House
Now, the only people talking about Obama (in the media) not being born in the USA will be Hitlery and the LSM.
The brilliance of his move was that he's effectively taken this issue off the table for discussion. If Hitlery or the LSM bring it up again, he can call them birthers.
Yes, yes, I know that Obama was not born in the USA and should not have been elected President, but that was then. This is now.
In the end, Trump has removed this as a talking-point from the DNC and LSM for the remainder of this election cycle. (Imagine playing chess and toppling another knight or rook, further crippling your opponent's ability to attack/counter-attack -- as has been said, Trump is playing 3D Chess and his opponents are playing tiddly-winks)
I agree with you that obummer is illegitimate (the guy with how many social security numbers?) but the damage is done and Trump wants to move forward. First we have to win the war. Then we can do clean up.
I thought it was awesome that Real Men were heard today.
