The Smoking GunIts inconceivable that, after four years of questioning, the president still hasnt produced his birth certificate, Trump told Newsmax. Im just asking President Obama to show the public his birth certificate. Whys he making an issue out of this?" To prove how easy it was for a household employee to find his birth certificate, Trump, 64, crowed, It took me one hour to get my birth certificate.
As seen above, he provided the conservative web site with what he purports to be his birth certificate.
Except the document is not an official New York City birth certificate, but rather a document generated by Jamaica Hospital, where Trumps mother Mary reportedly gave birth in June 1946. Official birth certificates are issued (and maintained) by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygienes Office of Vital Records.
So, what is Trump trying to conceal?
So, obvious questions first. Is Donald Trump not an American citizen? Is he too stupid to find his actual birth certificate? Is he trying to downplay his UnAmericanness by attacking Obama's birth certificate record? Is Donald Trump Malcolm X's love child?
I mean, I personally believe that Trump was born in the United States (still undecided about the Malcolm X thing tbh). But lots of people have raised interesting points, and it really makes you wonder just what Trump is trying to hide.
Politico's Ben Smith said:Trump's mother, it should be noted, was born in Scotland, which is not part of the United States. His plane is registered in the Bahamas, also a foreign country. This fact pattern -- along with the wave of new questions surrounding what he claims is a birth certificate -- raises serious doubts about his eligibility to serve as President of the United States.
