NEVER forget: Trump sends investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama



donald says 'Obama pulled the biggest con in all of politics....'

Washington (CNN) – Self-proclaimed birther Donald Trump is now so doubtful of President Obama's birthplace that he's sent a team of his own investigators to Hawaii in hopes of getting to the bottom of the issue.

That's according to Trump himself, who, in an interview with NBC, warned his investigators just might uncover "one of the greatest cons in the history of politics and beyond."

The business mogul, who in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll is tied for second place among potential presidential candidates, also suggested the president is involved in an ongoing cover-up over the matter.

"He spent $2 million in legal fees trying on to get away from this issue, and if it weren't an issue, why wouldn't he just solve it?" he said. "I wish he would because if he doesn't, it's one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in the history, period. You are not allowed to be a president if you're not born in this country. Right now, I have real doubts."

I spend a lot of time online reading comments from Trump supporters, and they just aren't logical. They respond to a desire for emotional gratification. Hard to burst that bubble.

This walking, talking pile of manure will never be legitimate.

And we can be sure, a chunk of America is very, very ignorant. We better not forget that either.

The way he used the language, touched on enough truth for everyone to say "yeah he's right" about some things. How he was overtly racist, but not, just touching the white nerve to file his "I ain't racist" lovers. He was amazing in the way he kept making everyone prove negatives. "Prove your Dad didn't kill Kennedy" that kind of thing.

My Trump friends, whom I try to avoid, at first thought him ludicrous, but then started agreeing with everything he said.

Or of his private jet, or his Trump tower lobby. The man is completely aware of what his surrounding should be when he's on camera. His very first appearance was descending on the escalator in his Trump Tower. Then taking a stage with American flags behind him. His every move is planned, not by a group of image makers, but by him. I'll lay bets that he spends plenty of time imagining his image. The entire Trump world is nothing more than a stage to him.

and M$Greedia fell for it hook, line and sinker and repeated it as if there were an ounce of truth somewhere. And the then Speaker of the House it was not his job to challenge other folks' views on this.

Now that fucking scumbag is about to become President of the United States. And Joe scum is talking about Obama wishing him well. Fuck that every which way.

IIRC, officials in Hawaii said no one contacted them from tRump, either.

He never sent anyone - just stirred up some shit - and M$Greedia never followed it up.

Groper Don the Con is way to cheap to spend money on investigations when innuendo and rumor are just as effective.

Now the same M$Greedia is talking about fake news- fugg 'em!
