And he never let it go. And not surprisingly his supporters are all over social media saying they know what trump really meant today. I bet he walks it back within 24hours, probably 3am on twitter

I was listening to Coast2coastam in 2008 and the host was interviewing a Pennsylvanian lawyer whose name was Phillip Berg. Berg had filed a lawsuit that challenged Obama's eligibility to be POTUS.
