The only way Trump will be able to put his shameful birtherism ‘to bed’ is if the media fails to hold him accountable in the coming days. Here’s why.

President Obama released his birth certificate in 2008, years before Trump started talking about it.

-snip-

When President Obama released his long-form, Trump suggested it was fake.

-snip-

Trump spent the next several years promoting birth certificate conspiracies on Twitter.

-snip-

Trump also continued to claim the birth certificate was fake in interviews.

-snip-

Earlier this year, Trump claimed he was planning to write a book about his theory of Obama’s citizenship.

-snip-

Trump’s campaign surrogates have defended his birtherism.

-snip-

Trump is lying, Clinton’s campaign didn’t raise the birther issue.

The fact that Trump called for assassination AGAIN.

The fact that Trump has no ideas that aren't very bad for the country.

The fact that he will create the kind of chaos that no one can ever imagine.

The fact that every time he opens his mouth he says something stupid.

The fact that he cares more about power and money than the USA.

The fact that he has screwed everybody he has come across.

The fact that he has a rape trial and more in the near future.



It's obvious with a working brain that he lied about birtherism. He closed it out with a scam on the press that has both he and the press in a tizzy. We could not hope for a better end.
