The Washington Compost: Trump tells Post he is unwilling to say Obama was born in the U.S. (Comp
The Washington Compost ^ | September 15, 2016 | Robert Costa

CANTON, Ohio — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in an interview here that he remains unwilling to say that President Obama was born in the United States, that he is more bullish than ever on his chances to win and that he is not exploring the launch of a new media company in case he loses the race.

Trump also made a far-from-subtle push — in the interview and in a letter from his doctor released Thursday — to be seen as vigorous and healthy, as his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, returned to the campaign trail after being treated for mild pneumonia.

In the interview, conducted late Wednesday aboard his private plane as it idled on the tarmac here, Trump suggested he is not eager to change his pitch or his positions even as he works to reach out to minority voters, many of whom are deeply offended by his long-refuted suggestion that Obama is not a U.S. citizen. Trump refused to say whether he believes Obama was born in Hawaii.

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

"Do the editors of the Post think Obama will be on the ballot this year?"


No, the help is leaving the plantation. This is what all the "racial" stuff is all about.

Robert Costa of The Washingsnot Putz is a liar:

Costa wrote the other day on his Twitter feed that "Trump's claim that Clinton started the controversy is false".

Considering that Bill Clinton's good friend from Arkansas, Bill Gwatney [Arkansas Democratic Party State Chair, and Hillary superdelegate], got whacked by an assassin for "unknown reasons" on August 13, 2008 - just 9 days after Bill Clinton shot his mouth off to ABC's Kate Snow about how "everybody's got a right to run for president, that qualifies under the Constitution..." [referring to 0bama], and considering that the Democrat National nominating convention was only two weeks later, I would say that SOMEBODY in the 0bama campaign had "concerns" about the birtherism of the Clintons.

Word is that Big Bill was told that he was next. When that failed to dissuade him [Secret Service protection], they told him Chelsea was next on the list, then...

Here is Liar Costa's lying Twitter feed on the Clinton birther issue:

He's getting beaten up pretty bad by Les Deplorables. Feel free to get in a verbal kick to the ribs. :)

You have posted the wrong date for this article. It is from September 15, not September 19. Please be more careful with this in the future, so that you’re not wasting everyone’s tie.

This horse has been dead a long time, but the RATS can’t find a real issue to attack Trump with.
