I am now going to the brand new Trump International, Hotel D.C. for a major statement.

Reporters assumed the statement would be about Obama

The media is a f——king disgrace and they can add the title of Domestic Enemies of the Republic to their resume.

the notion that Obama was born outside the United States
*************************

It does not matter if he was born in Hawaii if his father was a foreign national.
Children of foreign nationals inherit the nationality of their foreign national parent(s).
Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
No other possible citizenship(s).
Only when one cannot be anything else can one be a natural born citizen.

No foreign birth.
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)
No foreign influence on the Presidency is what John Jay stated in a letter to George Washington as the reason for insisting on a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.

The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because both parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution

Whose bright idea in the media was it that Trump would apologize for Obama’s birthplace? Seems like they are the idiots.

It’s interesting to note that when 0bama was asked about the whole Clinton campaign revived “birther” issue, he said it was time to talk about important things, essentially throwing her under the bus.

Everyone with half a brain realizes that the revival of “birtherism” was another desperate attempt by the Clinton campaign and her media minions to save her failing campaign. Now, Clinton/media are all PO’d that Trump got the better of them. If they insist on keeping this non-issue alive, it will only hurt them.

Quite. Don’t know what they were salivating so hard for. Not like he’s going to just lay himself out for a cannibalistic feast.

You are correct. Now the Constitution is a mute point in terms of citizen parents. Only one parent has to be a citizen, is the idiotic understanding of the constitutional usurpers.

Trump comes out and plainly states, Obama was born in the US.”

The media and Hillary proclaims, “Trump the birther continues to fan racist hatred and fuel deplorable violence against people of color.”

See how they do that...

-- I don't know why they are so mad, he made the statement! --

Lies on top of lies. The press claims Trump called a press conference to discuss his birther thing., No, he had this event planned days in advance. He did not call this event to satisfy the press badgering.

The press claimed that if Trump said Obama was born in the US, that would end it. His campaign put out an official statement, and the press said the campaign statement didn't count, because Trump didn't sign it. So Trump signals that he will comment about it the next day. He did. He said the same thing the printed release said, in fewer words.

The issue is entirely a press creation. Trump never brought the irrelevancy of Obama's birthplace into the race. The press did. The press resurrected the subject because they believe it damages Trump.

The press has to do its "damage Trump" function, and Trump has set things up so it runs its course and burns out more quickly than it would have otherwise. It will burn out, because the issue now is "did the Democrats participate in birtherism, and do so to advance Hillary?"

In the cases of Jindal, Haley and Rubio, not even 1 citizen parent.

The only thing funnier would be for him to tell the press he was going to do Harry Caray on national TV. In eagerness to broadcast him committing ritual Japanese suicide, they would be treated to an impression of the long time Cubs announcer. The press would then declare that he supported the Cubs only because Obama in a White Sox fan.

Any time a leftist generated pseudo controversy arises, Trump will use the opportunity to use the media to give him unfiltered air time as free campaign advertising. Then, the issue will be briefly addressed in passing or perhaps postponed for another time to game the media.
As a good businessman, he knows that if you want something, you have to give something.
