Trump Just Claimed Biden 'Wasn't Born' In His Literal Birthplace Because He Moved Away As A Child

https://www.comicsands.com/trump-biden-biden-born-pennsylvania-2647052094.html

Number 45 is already doing everything he can to try and de-legitimize election results come November.

Now following in the footsteps of his racist birther theories against both Barack Obama and Kamala Harris, Donald Trump has now claimed that Joe Biden is not from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Why?

Because Biden moved away from his birthplace as a child.



Trump's rally happened to be in Montoursville, Pennsylvania which is about 80 miles from Scranton—aka, where Joe Biden was born.

"You know, he left like 70 years ago," Trump said.

"He wasn't born — I view it differently. He'd say he was born here. But he left when he was like 8, 9 or 10. So he left 68 years ago, he left. Long time ago. So I view it differently. He wasn't born here. He abandoned Scranton!"


Trump lives in Florida and DC, so he wasn't born in NYC. Sound logic. Maybe Trump was born in Russia since Putin is his daddy.

He is unclear on what the hell it means to 'be born' somewhere. Time to put this moron out to pasture.

For someone who happened to be born in central or South America that came to the United States as a child and lived here and worked here and paid taxes here for decades.

If this counts as a "lie," Bunkerboi, Joe has a long way to go to catch up with you.

...not even the Electoral College.

He seems to think he gets to say whether someone is really a citizen, really born where their birth certificate says they're born -- from Obama to Kamala to Joe -- based on idiotic rules he pulls out of his ass.

Also by his logic, it wouldn't matter if his lie about Obama being born in Kenya were true, since Obama moved America and therefore wasn't born in Kenya. (Gawd, my head is spinning from all the stupid!)
