Sad? Funny? Enraging? All of the above? How about just par for the course. Donald Trump is a birther. In an interview with ABC News Trump waded into the muck with both feet. He said he has "doubts" about whether Obama was born in the United States.
“Let me tell you, I’m a really smart guy. I was a really good student at the best school in the country. The reason I have a little doubt, just a little, is because he grew up and nobody knew him...If I got the nomination, if I decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They'll remember me. Nobody comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It's very strange...The whole thing is very strange.”
Strange? Strange? More after the jump.
Give CNN credit at least, as their article describing Trump's "doubts" refutes them point by point.
Their article notes that current Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie remembers Obama's birth, as he was a friend of the President's parents.
Then--in what I can only call a classic slap across Trump's face--the article also cites an interview with...wait for it...Obama's kindergarten teachers. The original interview is here. According to one of his teachers, the young Obama was, "a cute, likable, heavy build-child...I could visualize Barry smiling, dressed in his long-sleeved, white shirt tucked into his brown Bermuda shorts, and wearing laced shoes."
In your face, Trump. But seriously. Trump can talk this way, in direct contradiction of publicly available information. It's pathetic. What's more pathetic would be if it worked. Clearly he thinks it will. That's pathetic enough.
