Fun fact: Trump rode birtherism all the way to the presidency, then never showed his own birth certificate.
- throw7 3y agoDon't forget the funnest fact: His taxes. But he did submit a very clean bill of health from his primary physician!

- efitz 3y agoWas there credible doubt that would have been alleviated with proof?
- jewayne 3y agoThere of course was never a credible doubt that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, either.
- triceratops 3y agoIt wouldn't have mattered either way because his mother was a US citizen, making him a natural-born citizen even if he were born in outer space.
- efitz 3y agoObama of course was born in Hawaii and of course he was a US citizen. That said, the law at the time was that if your father wasn’t a citizen, then your mother had to be a citizen AND had to have been living in the US for the previous 5 years. Dumb law IMO but it was the law and was raised by a lot of birthers.
- triceratops 3y agoIt's not possible for Obama's mother to have been living outside the US 5 years before his birth. She only met Obama Sr 2 years before little Barack was born. (Not that facts or logic matter to birthers, but anyway)
- HideousKojima 3y ago>It's not possible for Obama's mother to have been living outside the US 5 years before his birth. I think you misread the law, if she lived outside the country for two years then she wouldn't have spent the last five years in the US.
- jewayne 3y agoAt the time of Barack's birth, of course, Ann Dunham was only 18 years old and had lived her entire life in the US. I think at this point we all have to acknowledge the retarded genius of Donald Trump, the way he always got people to talk about what he wanted them to talk about. Discussions like this legitimize false statements, and were part of what legitimized Trump himself.
- efitz 3y agoI agree; no need to downvote me.
