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.

It’s either that he was born in Kenya like his grandmother said or his dad is someone else. The press can conjure up all kinds of stuff from 40 years ago about Republicans, but can’t come up with anything about BO. I frankly think he was born in Kenya. His daughters know the truth.
How about the bio that BO himself wrote that Andrew Brietbart released just before he was killed. You know, the one in which BO himself wrote that he was born in Kenya.
The online BC with photoshop layers can only be a forgery. There is no chance it is real.
Barack Obama was clearly born in Canada to a teen too young to confer citizenship. She was to adopt him out to a Canadian couple. She changed her mind at the last minute. Poor neglected kid never had USA citizenship. He got Indonesian citizenship when his mom married the Indonesian guy. Eventually the US Senate gave him a ceremonial passport. And then there was tampering, and at least one death, in the Passport Office to cover it up.
See how much this country loves illegals? We elected one President, twice!
Obama started the born-in-Kenya lie himself. His teachers at Punahou in HI admit that he was already telling that lie as a child.
The first verified sighting of Stanley Ann and her newborn was in Seattle. If Obama had been born in HI or Kenya someone would have seen them there. But no one saw them anywhere until they popped up in Seattle.
As a previous poster stated, Obama was born in Vancouver. SA was supposed to give him up for adoption but decided to keep him. That’s why she enrolled in the U of Washington; the baby was too young to fly the 2,683 miles back to Honolulu.
Tonight I bring you one of the saddest stories Ive ever had to cover. Apparently every other newsman in this country has been having tons of sex on the job. From molestations to unwanted advances, our lustful broadcasting has spread testosterone laden DNA across studios from sea to shining sea.
And I never knew this was even going on. I have tried but it seems I cant even harass any interns or coworkers. I dont know what I am doing. I must be saying it wrong. I even tried in Spanish with the cleaning lady and failed at that as well. I am actually offering myself up to any female viewers of this program. Call or text the number on the screen below. Data charges may apply, but I will pay you back, I promise.
Exactly on point.Trump needs to open these records up because Obama’s people(Brennan, clapper, etc... doctored records. Trump should have someone check this out to show the Gov’t records are accurate or not. How Obama could go without a Drivers License, Birth Certificate, SS #, etc.. is way beyond laughable.
Is there no end to the things I agree with Trump on?
I concur.
Even if he was born here, his parents weren’t US citizens. It boiled down to his father not being a US Citizen and I believe there were issues regarding the mother not remaining in the US for a period of time after the birth.
Not qualified.
I can’t say where he was born, but I do not believe ANYTHING Obama says about his background. There’s enough there to make it all very suspect.
Thanks for the ping!
Fake news!
I’m just glad the issue hasn’t died! Things haven’t happened as fast as one would like, but Arpaio is safe.
I suspect that Trump is waiting to unleash the attack on Barry’s BC at just the right moment...perhaps as a counterattack to an indictment by Mueller.
Wasn’t his mom going to school in Washington. Maybe she had him in Canada.
And as Lame Cherry noted, how come there are only pictures o Obama with teeth. Most parents have infant pictures. Where was Obama when he was a baby?
His last chapter has not been written. Still much to be discovered.
Granny Dunham in the Hawaiian Clerks office had access and was an expert in fraud/laundering
Mom, Stanley Ann, has many aliases and SS is still active ...
Sure. There is a lot of “there there” but no one who could anything about ever wanted to know.
Acosta, desperate for a real story. Should look for one like a “real” reporter, not a “fake” one.
Hey Jim. Try investigating Rep. John Conyer’s background and Moscow ties. Now there’s a real story. Oh, sorry. You don’t know what a “real story” is. My bad.
Ozero was born in Kenya, and was raised and educated in radical muzzy schools in Indonesia. He never set foot on American soil until he used fraudulent records to get into Harvard Law School. Any undergraduate training would have been in Indonesia, certainly not at Columbia. All of the high-school photos you have seen are doctored pictures of a member of the basketball team — who disappeared before Ozero was bought to America by the Muslim Brotherhood. Some The bad Photoshop jobs in the Hawaiian photos are obvious once you know that they are fakes.
Nobody remembers Ozero in Hawaii, but the word is out that any who talks will disappear. The Hawaiian kid whose photos were doctored is so mysterious that nobody has been able to find his name or identify his family. That’s how serious these people are. They are connected and ruthless.
Well, the story that he was born in Kenya comes from no one other that Obama himself. How on earth did a bio of him get printed in 1991 and was still being reprinted in 2007 that says this? "In the cover for a 1991 promotional booklet by Mr Obamas then-publisher Acton & Dystel, he is as the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, (who) was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. I've heard the story that it was just a "lazy literary agent" who let this slip through.... BULL CRAP. I know enough authors to know that that idea is ridiculous to say the least. An unknown author submitting a piece and someone puts a bio together for him/her with none of it being checked by the author her/himself? Can't believe that anyone thinks that is factual....it was the author himself who put it together.
