Donald Trump threatened legal action against someone who trolled him on Twitter. 
Donald Trump has threatened to sue a Twitter user who tricked him into posting a photo of serial killers Fred and Rose West.
The user contacted Trump early Monday asking him to retweet a photo of his parents, whom he claimed had been inspired by Trump throughout their lives.
The post was shared almost 300 times before Trump realized it was a prank and deleted it.
He later tweeted, "Some jerk fraudulently tweeted that his parents said I was a big inspiration to them + pls RT-out of kindness I retweeted. Maybe I'll sue."
Meanwhile...
A new birther theory emerged. 
Nearly six years into Barack Obama’s presidency, birthers are still grasping for evidence that the president is lying somehow about who he is or where he was born.
In an interview with Denver radio host Peter Boyles this week, Mike Zullo, the "lead investigator" in Sheriff Joe Arpiao's "Cold Case Posse" suggested a new lead for birthers: Maybe Obama's mother wasn't actually his mother!
Zullo told Boyles that he doesn’t know who Obama is, but "all that I can tell you is I don't believe he is who he purports to be."
But, wait... there's more!
Apparently, "Michelle Obama" might not really be Sasha and Malia's biological mother. 
The birther fringe has been touting some highly dubious "evidence" that Michelle Obama was born a man and so is biologically incapable of being the mother of her own children.
The conspiracy theory is based on the alleged lack of publicly available photos of Barack and Michelle Obama’s daughters, Sasha and Malia, when they were babies or very young – although adherents freely admit the First Family prefers to limit the girls' exposure to the media. [...]
The conspiracy theorists claim "Michael Robinson" accepted a scholarship in 1982 to play middle linebacker for Oregon State, where he enjoyed "a respectable rookie season with 88 tackles and 7.5 sacks (but) suddenly dropped out of the school." [...]
"Years later, he met Barry Obama Jr., a Kenyan immigrant who later became aware of Michelle's 'true' identity," the report continues. "They subsequently married and adopted two children."
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
