A debate response about Birtherism

Sometimes these dialogues occur to me. I decided to write this one down. I don't think Hillary really needs my help or that this dialogue is so great. But I think it may have some good points. And it felt good writing it. So, here it is.

A debate response about Birtherism

Mr. Trump, have you no respect for the American voter? Do you think any of us can forget your long, sordid history of birtherism? Do you think any of us can forget that in 2011 on national TV you claimed your Hawaiian investigators had uncovered “amazing facts” about President Obama’s birth? So what are those facts, Mr. Trump? After five years, don’t we all deserve to know? Tell us, Mr. Trump, here and now—if you can.

You can’t. Because you know, and I know, and the American voter knows that you lied in 2011 when you said you had amazing facts about President Obama’s birth. You lied then. And you’ve lied many times since then.

For instance, lately you’ve invented another ridiculous lie—that I started the birther movement. But whoever started the birther movement it’s unarguable that for eight long years you believed it, like a gullible fool. You believed it for eight long years, Mr. Trump, and tried to convince others, too. Does such a man as yourself, who can be so easily fooled for so long, deserve the Presidency, Mr. Trump? Of course, not.

And speaking of being fooled, Mr. Trump, you’ve also been fooled into thinking that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is a superior leader to our America’s President. Can America risk having as President a man such as yourself who is so easily fooled? Or course, not.

...you, Trump, promised to donate $5,000,000 to charity if the President produced his birth certificate. Time to pony up, motherfucker.
