Trump Takes the Low Road: Pushes back against Michelle Obama’s memoir with lies about the Obamas

Once again, Trump brandishes his boorish nature during a press conference this morning in which he railed against former First Lady Michelle Obama for calling him out on his riding the bogus "birther movement" during the 2016 campaign. Not only has he NEVER admitted being wrong or formally apologized for adding credence to that nonsense, but then in typical Trump fashion he spins his own version of reality to criticize former President Obama:

Trump and his ilk are an embarrassment to this country...and a danger to democracy.

 

Why is she still harping on that, it was years ago?

Tell her to move on already.

 

My, but you do have a short attention span....or is it a SELECTIVE short attention span? Because folk like you sure as hell carry on about Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter like it was yesterday. And you STILL defend Ronnie Reagan like he was some type of political deity.

But putting that aside, I find it interesting that folk like you STILL don't have the courage to just concede a matter of fact and history....that the birther movement was a racists lie, Trump capitalized on it, and to this day REFUSES to admit he was wrong, least apologize. AND then he LIES about Obama's record on military spending. Just saying.

 

He and others had a good reason to believe it.

Why do you consider it racist?

People can criticize a black person, especially one in politics, without racial motivation you know.

 

Victim blaming is lame.

Michelle Obama wrote a memoir and described the terrible bullshit Trump pushed and what it did to their family. Trump is a narcissist and a perpetual loser. He is riding high on a good economy at the moment, but if the next recession hits during his term we are all going to see how much of a loser he really is.

 

NOT in this world If you didn’t vote for Gillum down here in FL you were obviously racist. Had nothing to do with him being a socialist nut job.

 

It's racist because it played on the fact that Obama is a person of color and his father was from Kenya. If he was white it never would have been a topic for discussion.

 

You mean if trump had a parent who wasn’t born here, republicans wouldn’t care or demand his BC?

 

DeSantis did and said a bunch of racist crap. That's why supporting him makes you at worst a racist or at best a person willing to overlook racism for their partisanship.

Which one of those made you need 2 birth certificates from him?

 

I assume you're making a joke, since Trump's mother was an immigrant.

 

You assume correctly!

 

there was no effing reason to believe any of that junk!!

 

You don't know that.

The issue was whether he was qualified to run for president, not what color he was.

You just think that whenever someone criticized him that it was racist.

 

An issue that he put to bed in 2008 before the election when he released his BC.
Has trump, also the son of an immigrant, been required to produce multiple BCs?

 

Sorry Marine 1, only two groups of people 'had good reason to believe' the birther nonsense - idiots and racists.....

 

Has anyone asked to see it?

 

The birthed lie was started by the racist Hillary camp. Since trump is a KKK*er and a national born liar he ran with it because he hates black people. The dummies believed it because they don't know that Hawaii is a State and that the people there are Americans.

 

I'd love to hear how asking for proof of citizenship, which is required to be eligible to be POTUS, is "racist".

Please expound on that for us.

 

it was trump, the tea party and all others of the same ilk. it was a joke.

 

I’m sure all the birthers who wanted Obama’s did right?

 

Yes I believe we did.

We never asked him for his tax returns however.

 

Why not? According to this, if his parents went out of the country and had a child they could still get a Hawaiian birth certificate for the child if they were Hawaiian residents at least one year before the birth. From what I was told, it would only be the short form certificate, as it would not have the doctor's, or hospital's name on it. The short form is all Obama would show for years till Trump said he was going to Hawaii to get his birth certificate, then Obama posted his long form. Now consider that, plus the fact he refused to post how he got his college grant,(After him saying he would have the most transparent administration in history), what was people to think? He could have gotten a foreign student grant. Obama himself caused all that by not being open like he promised he would.

 

Is there a part in Mooch's book where she explained why she complained about a room full of old white men? The media and the left covered for her racism only to turn around and bash Trump. Screw her and that bump in her pants she spent 8 years trying to hide.
