There really isn't much more to add to this...because it's just so choice. But I do have a couple comments.
There actually is someone who has physically seen and aparently touched Obama's Birth Certificate - and she says Trump is Full of It.
The Hawaiian state health official who personally reviewed Barack Obama's original birth certificate has affirmed again that the document is "real" and denounced "conspiracy theorists" in the so-called "birther" movement for continuing to spread bogus claims about the issue.
"It’s kind of ludicrous at this point," Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the former director of Hawaii's Department of Health, said in a rare telephone interview with NBC.
Fukino, sounding both exasperated and amused, spoke to a reporter in the aftermath of Donald Trump's statements on the NBC Today show last week questioning whether Obama has a legitimate birth certificate.
As I wrote two years ago Factcheck.org has long shown - the Certificate of Live Birth from the Obama Campaign is completely legitimate.
It's folded
It's signed.
It has a raised seal
It says he was born in Honolulu
It does have a Serial Number
And there were of course the Newspaper announcements (which were actually sent out by the Health Dept, not Obama's grand parents).
If Trump actually has sent "researchers" to Hawaii to look for data - they're not going to find out anything from the Hospitals because it's against Federal Law (HIPAA) for them to share private information about patients.
Protected Health Information. The Privacy Rule protects all “individually identifiable health information” held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. The Privacy Rule calls this information “protected health information (PHI).”12
“Individually identifiable health information” is information, including demographic data, that relates to:
* the individual’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition,
* the provision of health care to the individual, or
* the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual,
Also the "Certificate of Live Birth" IS THE OFFICIAL LEGAL DOCUMENT.
She added that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized the state’s current certification of live birth “as an official birth certificate meeting all federal and other requirements.”
In this report Dr Fukino makes it clear that the Certificate is REAL, but that Hawaii State Law does not allow it to be released to the public due to privacy concerns. Even if Obama came to Hawaii to review the document himself -He couldn't make a copy and take it with him.
The first is that the original so-called "long form" birth certificate — described by Hawaiian officials as a "record of live birth" — absolutely exists, located in a bound volume in a file cabinet on the first floor of the state Department of Health. Fukimo said she has personally inspected it — twice. The first time was in late October 2008, during the closing days of the presidential campaign, when the communications director for the state's then Republican governor, Linda Lingle (who appointed Fukino) asked if she could make a public statement in response to claims then circulating on the Internet that Obama was actually born in Kenya.
Her second point — one she made repeatedly in the interview — is that the shorter, computer generated "certification of live birth" that was obtained by the Obama campaign in 2007 and has since been publicly released is the standard document that anybody requesting their birth certificate from the state of Hawaii would receive from the health department.
"What he got, everybody got," said Fukino. "He put out exactly what everybody gets when they ask for a birth certificate."
"(The Long Form is) a Department of Health record and it can't be released to anybody," he said. Nor do state laws have any provision that authorizes such records to be photocopied, Wisch said. If Obama wanted to personally visit the state health department, he would be permitted to inspect his birth record, Wisch said.
But if he or anybody else wanted a copy of their birth records, they would be told to fill out the appropriate state form and receive back the same computer generated "certification of live birth" form that everybody else gets — which is exactly what Obama did four years ago.
That's it, that's all - the copy Obama has shown is the real official copy. The other one is at the Department of Health and can't be copied or shared with anyone except Obama himself.
He's not hiding anything, he doesn't have authority under the law to share anymore more than he already has. He's done everything he can do. Period. End of Story.

P.S. Trump is a Self-Aggrandizing Fact-Mangling Douche Nozzle.
