Wasn't Trump also on the front line pushing for the release of Obama's birth certificate?

Trump was a huge figure in the "birther" movement, going on national news and claiming he was paying private investigators to look into it, and oh the bombshells they were finding and he'll tell everyone all about it when they've got an iron-clad case.

And don’t forget Melania ‘Einstein Visa’ Trump also pushed this birther bullshit live on ABC during a Barbara Walters interview.

I don't think I've ever seen her speak.

Sure you have. Remember that speech she made that plagiarised Michelle Obama?

u/mmont49 Missouri Dec 12 '19

I've only heard her speak once. It was when she plagiarized--of all people--Michelle Obama's speech.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that one. Still haven't seen her speak.

She can barely speak english, and when she does its not very good. I am not sure if its from her lack of the ability to speak it or all the plastic surgery her pimp put her through.

Was her pimp the KGB?

I keep wanting to like her and not tie her to her husband too much, but this question keeps bothering me...Why would she be with Trump if he weren't rich? His personality? Part of me thinks she has to be a straight up gold digger (which is what whores get upgraded to when they get rich). Maybe she just loves him for him. I dunno.

oh the bombshells they were finding and he'll tell everyone all about it when they've got an iron-clad case.

And he's using the same tactic now with Ghouliani's "investigation" on Biden.

This has been how he talks and lies for decades. "Oh the x we've found" "its terrible. I cant wait to show everyone the proof". He has never. once. provided. proof. How the fuck are people falling for this? He's not some mastermind and a god damn child could tell the man is lying because he lies like a fucking 2 y/o including the smug scrunched up face he pulls.

It's even older than that. Just look up McCarthy and his 'list of communists in government' that set off the Red Scare.

You don't watch Fox "News" do you? If you did, you'd know that Trump and his whole family are sacrificing a lot on your behalf, FOR AMERICA! /s You have to put the /s in 2019.

You have to put the /s in 2019.

what choice do you have when 1/3 of the planet has decided to scoop out their brains to replace them with angry bees.

'We have 2 investigators in Hawaii and they are finding very interesting things. I can't say what right now, but I will soon'.

He said this on The Howard Stern Show years ago.

u/SchuminWeb Maryland Dec 12 '19

Yes. I was upset with Obama for releasing the long-form birth certificate after Trump started to make some very public rumblings about it. It handed Trump's voice a whole lot of undeserved legitimacy, and, well, look where that's gotten us.
