The basic premise is sound—that Trump has a vendetta against Obama. I don’t know if he represents any conglomerated interests or just his own, but I think it’s personal (or business.) It’s not political.
Then, failing to get the GOP nomination, Trump goes indie and all the birther talk dissipates as he directs his attacks at the GOPer. With the GOP irreparably splintered, Obama glides to a landslide reelection.

Makes about as much sense, maybe more, than anything else I have read.
Thoughtful bump...
“The basic premise is sound—that Trump has a vendetta against Obama. I don’t know if he represents any conglomerated interests or just his own, but I think it’s personal (or business.) It’s not political.”
Don’t forget that Trump presented an offer to the Obama Admin to construct a $30mil grand ballroom addition to the Whitehouse as a gift to the country. They have never even acknowleged his offer. I’m sure he is somewhat peeved.
