Trump runs for POTUS / Trumped Up! Part V

So why did Trump keep playing the Birther card all the way to 2016. I am asserting he continued because he wanted attention. Do you have a better explanation for that behavior?
Yes, he wanted obama to release his birth certificate. Guess what happened?
 
Yeah, it's editorializing. If they want to clarify something, it's easy to alter the format to allow for that in a way that doesn't make the presenter the arbiter of fact versus fiction. However, the idea that, again, a "straight" news program (one or two people reading news stories and showing video clips) should have the presenter(s) commenting on the stories they're presenting is silly when, again, there are plenty of formats and avenues for such commentary.

"Here's what Presidential Candidate Donald Trump said today in a speech given in Dallas, Texas."
<play video>
"In Hoboken, New Jersey, Hillary Clinton gave a speech on health care."
<play video>
"In other news..."

There is nothing wrong with presenting the news like that. Inserting anything else is for another kind of show.


How about ...

"Here's what Presidential Candidate Donald Trump said today in a speech given in [choose a location]."
<play video>

...followed by ...

"Here's what Presidential Candidate Donald Trump said yesterday in a speech given in [choose a different location]."
<play video>

...followed by ...

"Here's what Presidential Candidate Donald Trump said some other day in a speech given in [choose a different location]."
<play video>

... and letting him debunk himself?

That would still be presenting the news, wouldn't it?

Here we have not only a lie, but doublethink at the same time.


Hillary is a badperson for 'starting' birtherism (which is not true), yet Trump is plusgood for continuing it.

There is no valid reasoning here and your opinions should on the matter should be dismissed. Sadly, many agree with them. Even more sadly, there will be no conservatives calling you out on this, and thus their movement will remain in the trash.
Dude get a grip!

First, I've given you proof it started with hillary. Instead of barfing up your personal attacks, refute it!

I never said hillary was a bad person for starting it, only that Trump got obama to release something he previously refused doing. Trump forced him to be the transparent person obama claims to be. ;)
 
He kept playing the Birther card through 2016 in order to get Obama to release his birth certificate...which Obama did in 2011?

Obviously it wasn't much of an issue after it was released. Take up the timeline with ladewig.

Except the obvious fraud that it was (ok just kidding) :)
 
But will they point out, hillary was the one who found the opposition research on it?

What are you talking about? Be specific.



I have seen Trump try to excuse his birtherism by saying "Hillary did it first", but I have never seen any evidence that she actually did.

BTW, "supporters" of Hillary don't count. Hillary herself or people who worked for her in some kind of official capacity.

Lol

That is mighty conveinent. Does hillary do any dirty work herself?

Sydney Blumenthal perhaps?

Trump can go back to eating KFC chicken by the bucket. Voters polled were not concerned with Trump or Hillary dropping dead. Many would be happier with the VP candidates.
 
It seems like Trump is rewriting history to say he was important in getting it released. I call bull. I would call the ton of candidates and talk radio in the run-up to 2012 that mattered.

You'd be wrong!

Even if you were correct, who is actually going to get the credit? ;)
 
There were some questions to the authenticty of it.

No there weren't.

That is certainly reasonable since obama went through such lengths to not release it.

He released the official Hawaii-issued birth certificate that everyone born in that state gets when they request a copy in 2008, long before Trump started his Birther nonsense and three years before he asked for and received a copy in a form that NO ONE gets and he had to make special arrangements to obtain.

But I like how your argument jumped instantly from "it wasn't an issue after Obama released his birth certificate" to "of course it was an issue after Obama released his birth certificate".

That's because you don't remember the history of it. Many dropped the issue but there were folks who thought it was and is a fake.
