In new interview, Trump refuses to say Obama born in the US, takes a swipe at H. Reid

In the interview, conducted late Wednesday aboard his private plane as it idled on the tarmac here, Trump suggested he is not eager to change his pitch or his positions even as he works to reach out to minority voters, many of whom are deeply offended by his long-refuted suggestion that Obama is not a U.S. citizen. Trump refused to say whether he believes Obama was born in Hawaii.

“I’ll answer that question at the right time,” Trump said. “I just don’t want to answer it yet.”

When asked whether his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, was accurate when she said recently that he now believes Obama was born in this country, Trump responded: “It’s okay. She’s allowed to speak what she thinks. I want to focus on jobs. I want to focus on other things.”

...

“Harry Reid? I think he should go back and start working out again with his rubber work-out pieces,” an apparent reference to the exercise band that snapped last year and caused Reid to fall and break a number of ribs and some facial bones.

Read the whole mind boggling interview. He is actively taunting journalists to do their jobs.

I about came out my chair and snatched my shoes off when I saw the words he came after Reid. Then I saw it was Harry not Joy and I sat back down.

When you say two contradictory things in one paragraph, which statement do you fact-check?

Harry Ried is nearly if not totally blind in his eye from that exercise injury.

Wtf is wrong with that monster? Dear Karma, dear dear Karma, please pay a visit to the Orange dingleberry.

whether he should give Obama "the okay" on his birthplace. He'll set it up all for show just as he did with Oz on his medical papers.

Trump's no more clever than a worn out, second rate carney.
