Ping to major NY Times “birther” article bashing Trump’s six weeks as a “birther”.
Article says Trump backed off in 2011 because Blacks would be offended he was going after Barry and stop watching The Apprentice.
Whenifhow, please ping LucyT’s list if you are still doing that for her...
Thanks for the ping.
Errors in the article:
1. “Mr. Trump recognized an opportunity to connect with the electorate”. Presumption. We have no idea what Mr. Trump’s motivations might have been. Pretty sure he never stated anything like that.
2. “the discomfort, in some quarters of American society, with the election of the nation’s first black president”. Projection. The racists at the NYT love to project their racism onto others. Speaking for myself, I have discomfort (far more than discomfort) with the election of the nation’s first ineligible, possibly non-American, president, who regardless of where he was born or what his nationality is, spent the majority of his formative years in foreign countries, and whose past is shrouded in mystery.
3. “aides released an image of the president’s birth certificate”. They did no such thing. They released an image of a “Certificate of Live Birth” which is not the same as a birth certificate. There is plenty of evidence that this COLB was forged or doctored.
4. “proving he was born in Honolulu”. This, being an image/forgery proves nothing. In fact, even if it were a true image of 0vomit’s COLB, it would not prove anything. IIRC, all it took to get a COLB in Hawaii at the time of 0vomit’s birth was to have someone swear that he was born there. There are numerous issues, too many to mention in this post, that would make “proof” impossible.
My speculation: Trump dropped the investigation into the BC for one or both of the following reasons:
1. Trump’s tv show was threatened.
2. The network told him to knock it off.
3. He decided to go after bigger fish. (running for President, exposure of 0vomit in more ways than just the fake BC, the Clintons, the RICO violations of most prominent democrats, the Clinton Crime Foundation, ..... )
Btw, Seize, thanks for the ping! Much appreciated as always.
