Frankly, I think Trump is gaming the media. It’s as if he’s being advised by James O’Keefe or Andrew Breitbart. Let out one piece of information, get the press’s attention, have the target strenuously object and stake out a position; then release more info showing the objection and position to be flat out lies.

Did you see the thread on the Politico story? They went ALL OUT showing that it was ‘only’ a hospital record, not a public record. They called NYC’s Vital Records office to establish it wasn’t ‘authentic’ and went through an explanation of the difference between the two documents. You know, exactly what they did NOT do with regard to Brackets’ COLD vs long form bc.

They showed what they COULD do but have chosen not to for Brackets. Trump punked them, big time.

Now, all Trump has to do - and he can make it into a media event - is schlep all five miles from Trump Tower down to the NYC Vital Records office with $20 and get a certified copy of his long form birth certificate in five minutes. Show it to the reporters on the spot. Then what does this media do?

I hope so.

But O'Keefe and Breitbart need to add disclaimers to their work, Don't try this at home.
