No talk about the possible existence of a Kenyan birth certificate for Zer0? It probably was already in the stack of faxes as a goodwill gesture.

I’m wondering if President Trump is negotiating Barack Obama’s return to the country.

President Trump doesn’t hate all Kenyans. Like all decent Americans, he just hates one Kenyan in particular - the one who was ejected from government housing on January 20, 2017.
