TRUMP CONCEDES OBAMA BORN IN US, CAMPAIGN SAYS
6ABC ^ | 9/15/2016

Posted on 09/15/2016 7:41:03 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Just hours after the Washington Post published an interview with Donald Trump in which he refused to acknowledge that President Barack Obama was born in the United States, the Trump campaign released a statement saying that the Republican presidential candidate "believes" Obama was born in the U.S.

"Having successfully obtained President Obama's birth certificate when others could not, Mr. Trump believes that President Obama was born in the United States," read the statement.

In the Washington Post interview, published on its website at 7:34 p.m., refused to say whether he believed that Obama was born in the U.S.

"I'll answer that question at the right time," Trump said. "I just don't want to answer it yet."

Despite the Republican presidential candidate's reluctance to acknowledge that Obama was born in the U.S. -- he released his long-form Hawaii birth certificate in 2011 -- Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway has said in recent interviews that Trump does indeed believe the president is born in the U.S.

When asked if Conway's assertion was accurate, Trump told the newspaper, "It's okay. She's allowed to speak what she thinks. I want to focus on jobs. I want to focus on other things."

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Trump surrogate, also recently said Trump believes Obama is born in the U.S.

The Republican presidential candidate continued, "I don't talk about it anymore. The reason I don't is because then everyone is going to be talking about it as opposed to jobs, the military, the vets, security."

Trump was asked if his courtship of African-Americans could be stymied by the birther issue and "hang over his candidacy." His response? "I think it hangs over the reporters."

It’s irrelevant where he was born based on the Ted Cruz example.

What silliness. Shows the desperation of the media to try and tar Trump with anything at all. They have nothing and Trump gets stronger and stronger every day.

Obama’s Kenyan grandmother claimed her grandson was born in Mombasa, Kenyan.

The Harvard Law Review showed a picture of Obama on the back cover with a paragraph that said, “Barack Obama, born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia...”

Besides, wasn’t it Hillary who started this “birther” talk during the 2008 primary season?

His surrorgates. Here is waht Mr. Trump said which is not exacly what the headline implies:

When asked if Conway’s assertion was accurate, Trump told the newspaper, “It’s okay. She’s allowed to speak what she thinks. I want to focus on jobs. I want to focus on other things.”

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Trump surrogate, also recently said Trump believes Obama is born in the U.S.

The Republican presidential candidate continued, “I don’t talk about it anymore. The reason I don’t is because then everyone is going to be talking about it as opposed to jobs, the military, the vets, security.”

Trump was asked if his courtship of African-Americans could be stymied by the birther issue and “hang over his candidacy.” His response? “I think it hangs over the reporters.”

The exchange with MeAgain Kelly seen this evening....demorat spokesperson, frilly boy Robert, was called George and none too happy about that. He came out and proclaimed BO’B was an AMERICAN citizen...NOTE: THE DISCREPANCY here is not that but the fact is BO’B IS NO NBC. Can’t be NBC due to his father was NOT an AMERICAN, but a BRITISH SUBJECT. To be an NBC, both parents MUST BE AMERICAN. Donald should have his attorney’s and every member of the congress JUMP ON THIS. Ms SAN FRAN NAN Peolsi are you hearing me?????? Why else would the rats continue on the BC mucky muck. They are once again muddying the waters so the truth will never be seen clearly.

I still think Trump brought it all up so he could troll Hillary about it. Read the press release in #9. He briefly brought it up and they TOTALLY took the bait.

“I think it hangs over the reporters.”

That it does. The reason why we have the O’muslim brotherhood running the federal gubbermint is because of these sick farks.

They all need to be decorating lamp posts.

Obama spent millions trying to hide the facts surrounding his birth and many other aspects of his life. It is reasonable to believe he had something to hide. While this may have been something just embarrassing as opposed to disqualifying, there was something he has covered up. Regardless, he is about to leave office after eight very long years of furthering Communist objectives. Hillary just desperately wants to change the subject off of her failing health, email scandal, pay-to-play scandal, and lackluster campaign.

Where Obama is born is basically irrelevant when his daddy is a British royal subject. Obama has not been and never will be a natural born citizen. Divided loyalties at birth.

...he released his long-form Hawaii birth certificate in 2011..

It is an outrageous lie, and they know it. Even the COLB that the OBAMA troglodytes put out on the website was PROVEN to have been tampered with.

We still TO THIS DAY, have no proof where he was born.

Everything about Obama’s past is hidden from the public.

He should lay low on this. As President, Trump will be able to have a good look at ALL of Obama’s past. The evidence is overwhelming that he is not even a US Citizen.

Once proven, every action of the usurper becomes null and void, including any pardons he issues. That my FRiends, is where the true swamp draining begins. Eight years of complete and massive corruption laid out in the sun to shrivel and die a proper death.

I’m surprised this wasn’t pulled sooner.

I suspect that since this would be a long drawn out battle that they could take this argument all the way to election day. Unless you have conclusive proof you won’t win the BC issue. He played his hand correctly.

The media worked overtime to label those who doubted as conspiracy nuts, crazies. Glad Trump is distancing himself from it.
