Trump won’t talk about being a birther — or many other controversial comments
Source: MSN/Washington Post
Donald Trump was the mainstream face of a fringe movement five years ago that questioned Barack Obamas place of birth and qualifications for office, eventually prompting the president to release a long-form certificate proving his birth in Hawaii.
Trump has never apologized, recanted his charges or even admitted error. Instead, he tries not to discuss it.
I dont talk about it because if I talk about that, your whole thing will be about that, Trump told reporters aboard his plane on Labor Day. So I dont talk about it.
This is a persistent pattern for the stubbornly unapologetic Republican nominee.
Judging by his own words, the Republican nominee apparently still believes that prisoners of war such as Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) are not heroes; that a federal judge of Mexican heritage is unable to fairly rule in a civil case involving Trump University; that the Muslim American father of a fallen soldier has no right to question him; that former president George W. Bush should be blamed for the 9/11 terrorist attacks; that foreign Muslims must be barred from entering the country until officials figure out what is going on; and that the father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) might have been involved in the murder of President John F. Kennedy.

A rare story that actually notes that Trump really has not be held to account for some of his most crazy and outrageous positions. Instead, he just deems it off-limits, and most of the time, the MSM just follows along.

(48 posts)Drumpf has been a racist douche for years now, it's foolish to expect him to change. This is why it's imperative that he loses by a landslide this November, to teach him and his base a good lesson.
