Trump tweets "Donald Trumps birther event is the greatest trick hes ever pulled"

and links to this article..

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/16/donald-trumps-birther-event-is-the-greatest-trick-hes-ever-pulled/

Simply unbelievable: Donald Trump actually tweeted a link to this story at 1:15am. I truly don't know what to make of that. Did he just like the headline?

Trump did not read the story, it would take time and effort...too many words he would need to look up to understand
