Donald Trump’s birther event is the greatest trick he’s ever pulled (WP pearl clutching)
The Washington Post ^ | 9/16/16 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 09/16/2016 10:36:49 AM PDT by CaptainK

Donald Trump is, at heart, a showman. He rose to national fame thanks to star turns on reality TV in which he played the tough-talking boss to a group of aspirants hoping to become as successful as he has been in business. His great gift is the ability to draw attention — and then use that attention for his own, usually commercial, purposes.

Trump may have outdone himself on Friday morning. He and his campaign touted a "major" announcement at his newly-opened hotel in Washington, D.C. at 10 a.m. The word was that Trump would walk away from his past skepticism about President Obama's citizenship while also laying the blame for the birther movement at the feet of Hillary Clinton. (That, of course, isn't true — according to numerous fact-checkers — but no matter: Trump planned to say it anyway.)

Donald Trump, in one sentence, completely diffused Hillary’s hypocritical attack, and has left the media sputtering and flailing.

The hypocrites can’t believe someone would DARE to troll THEM! After all, isn’t that what THEY are supposed to do to help Democrats, if they want to remain employed?

CNN showing Black Congressional Caucus “OUTRAGE!!!!” at Trumps statement.

This is funnier than hell. all of these pre-written memes blowing up. I believe Dems thought this was going to get blacks back on the Democrat Plantation.

They are not faint of heart. They are just a bunch of left wing purveyors of propaganda and shills for Hillary. WaPo has pretty much lost any semblance of credibility it may once have enjoyed in years past.

That said, Trump out maneuvered Hillary today. Big time. The WaPo has just figured that out.

Same correspondent who demanded that we all ignore Hillary's nonexistent health issues and five days later said they were a Big Deal after all. Catch up, Chris.

In fact, there is plenty of evidence that Clinton did push the Birther thing in 2008, including personal testimony; that, when Trump had just started being a reality TV star. So sorry, Chris, no lie there. Except for maybe yours.

“Donald Trump is, at heart, a showman. He rose to national fame thanks to star turns on reality TV...”

I love the way these assholes pretend no one ever heard of him before he did that show. I wonder if even the lefties think “well, Trump Towers, International, most of Manhattan landmark buildings...” and that doesn’t even begin to cover it...
