As some readers may know, I became fascinated with the psychology of conspiracy theorists a few years back — and devoted a chapter to Birthers in my 2011 book on the subject. In my interviews with Birthers, I discovered that just about all of them see Obama’s birthplace “deception” as part of a wider ideological campaign against America. In particular, some see Obama as an agent of some sort of menacing doctrine such as communism or afrocentrism. But a more common variant is that Obama is secretly a Muslim, and that his main goal is to force America to submit to totalitarian Islamism (and, of course, destroy Israel), in concert with the Muslim Brotherhood and/or the Iranian regime. Many such conspiracy theories traffic on WorldNetDaily, a hawkish, militantly pro-Israel, End Times/Evangelical web site that has turned itself into the main hub for Birtherism.

And so it was surprising to see WND promoting Donald Trump’s latest conspiracy theory: that Barack Obama will attack Iran as a tail-wags-dog move to secure his re-election in November: “Yes, I believe that we will end up in a war with Iran because I think Obama views that as politically good for him. … I have said for a year and a half that in the end, somewhere before the election we will end up in a form of war with Iran, and I think he’s doing it for political reasons.”

Well, which is it? Obama as Kenyan-born, anti-Zionist secret agent of the Muslim world seeking to Islamify America by stealth jihad … or Obama the cynical election-year hawk willing to bomb Muslims, destroy Iran’s nuke program (and thereby defend Israel) for partisan political purposes? Inquiring (non-Birther) minds want to know.

The Donald has gone batshit crazy

[Rambis]

1. Get a decent haircut and a mental eval

[Arkana]

2. The Trumpster has clearly contracted a bad case of syphilis

and it's affecting his brain.

Either that or that shitty toupee of his has taken root inside his cerebellum.

[lumpy]

3. Why in the name of God would Potato Head think going to war

would bring votes for Obama?

[TrogL]

4. Note - this is a Canadian, right-wing newspaper

[no_hypocrisy]

5. And if Obama *doesn't* attack Iran, Trump will be ready for that situation as well.

"Iran has the bomb! And Obama doesn't care! He's letting them get away with it!"

[Control-Z]

9. Didn't he already

claim that some time last year - when he thought he might become the republican presidential nominee? I swear I thought I heard that.

[randome]

6. He could attack Trump Tower and accomplish the same thing.

Except he has already won the election. Only a Trump would think otherwise.

[HopeHoops]

7. Can't the comb-over just crawl under a rock?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. Suuuuure...The American people are just pining to get into another war to lose.

Obama certainly a "peace" president but he is a smart politician who knows better than to invest in another war when the people are more than war weary.

[KharmaTrain]

10. Da Donuld Knows His Fish...

This guy always has been a hustler and has found his latest fish...the teabaggers. Anything he says gets him the red carpet treatment on faux as well as the talk of every hate radio show coast to coast. It's all about drawing attention and taking it to the bank.

When Trump gets slapped down...like when President Obama make him the fool at the White House Correspondent's Dinner...he climbs under his rock, but now with Rmoney's blessing, Da Donuld can be as goofy as he wants and appears to be "legit"...

[WI_DEM]

11. apparently Obama must have ignored him or didn't return a call or something

the man really hates Obama.

[okieinpain]

12. I can't wait to see what they are going to say about hillary or joe biden

when they decide to run for office. I'm pretty sure either one will be called the worst thing to happen to america and no one (liberal media) will say "wait, I thought president obama was the worst thing to happen to america".

[FSogol]

13. Donald Trump still spouting stupid crap.

Water is wet.
Sky is blue.
etc, etc.

[AtomicKitten]

14. He should stick his head back in the cotton candy machine.

His hair isn't quite ready for prime time.
