Well, folks, The Darnold did his hotel commercial stressed the stage he was on to the point of collapse slapped the birther wingnuts in the face last Friday with his non-apology apology.
So – how did that play in Freeperville? Glad you asked.
You see – it used to be like this (from 2011) :
Trump’s disgusting, dangerous dance with birthers
The Washington Post’s Post Partisan ^ | April 7, 2011 | Jonathan CapehartPosted on 4/7/2011, 10:50:30 PM by 2ndDivisionVet
Donald Trump (Birther-N.Y.) is at it again. In double-barrelled interviews on NBC’s “Today Show” and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Trump continued his disgusting and dangerous dabbling in the disproved conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in the United States. This might be good for the ratings of his television show. This might even be good for his business. But it is terrible for the nation and public discourse that someone who claims to be so smart is so willing to perpetuate a lie.
Alex Koppelman snipped this strand of the conspiracy in Dec. 2008 and again in July 2009. And he’ll most likely have to do it again now that Trump has embraced the fallacy with both hands. This all stemmed from a interview of Sarah Obama, the second wife of the president’s grandfather, by Ron McRae, a street preacher, through a translator over the phone. As Koppelman reported in 2009, “Sarah Obama is not the president’s biological grandmother, but he calls her ‘Granny Sarah.’”
In a clear lost-in-translation moment (and over an international phone line), which you can listen to in full here, Mrs. Obama said she was there for her grandson’s birth. When McRae asks where in Mombassa the president was born, the translator, Vitalis Akech Ogombe, repeatedly corrected him….

Then any law or bill he has ever signed and every person appointed to any position is null and void. All the deficit spending money sent to unions, Acorn and bailouts of Democrat(sic) donors/supporters etc. should then be paid back, in full, to the American taxpayer by the Democrat(sic) party that certified him as being eligible to hold the highest office in our Republic.
Then arrest all conspirators involved for treason and give them swift and final judgment.

Claim: A 1991 literary promotional booklet identified Barack Obama as having been born in Kenya.
To: Jim RobinsonJim, This is like revisiting history. This was my first introduction to FR back 2008. No one would listen to us. I figure we’ll see justice in history. Obama will become a pariah, a usurper in office. Today, though, all we can do is grimace and just focus on defeating Clinton. The lies, the damage they have both caused America are unforgivable.

To: Jim RobinsonObama is an (Raila) Odinga Kenyan. Everyone knows it. Our old friend Kenny Bunk was a scholar on the subject. He knows it. He got into schools because of it. There’s no question about it. Either you understand the “Birther” (Long form / COLB / hospital) issue… Or you think “trhere’s nothing to it he was born in Hawaii. Trump did scholarship and his own legacy a great disservice today.

Then :
You’re forged! Trump declares Obama’s birth certificate fake
World Net Daily ^ | May 25, 2011 | WNDPosted on 5/25/2011, 9:02:17 PM by conservativegramma
Billionaire businessman Donald Trump, who staged a weeks-long public campaign questioning Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president during March and April – and rose to the top of the pool of potential candidates for the 2012 GOP nomination then as a result – says he believes the “birth certificate” released by the White House is forged…. Trump said his period of almost-complete silence on the issue following the release by the White House on April 27 of the image of a “Certificate of Live Birth” from the state of Hawaii was not because he was satisfied with the document….
During their conversation, Trump told Corsi his own computer expert told him at the release that it was a computer-generated document.

And now:After Birth (Snopes blames Free Republic for birther movement) Snopes ^ | 9/16/2016 | David Emery Posted on 9/17/2016, 6:03:06 AM by grayboots
CLAIM: Hillary Clinton and/or members of her 2008 presidential campaign started the “birther” movement questioning whether Barack Obama was born in the U.S.
FALSE ORIGIN:On 16 September 2016, after years of being the most visible and outspoken exponent of “birtherism” — the notion that, despite all evidence to the contrary, Barack Obama was born outside the U.S. and thus his presidency is illegitimate and his allegiances suspect — GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump stepped up to the podium at a televised campaign event and completely reversed his stance on the matter — but not before trying to lay blame for the long, drawn-out smear campaign on someone else.

I’m with you. This “freelancing” as you put it had apparently been held in check by Kelli Ann. It’s no coincidence that since then his poll numbers have been going up up up. If he’s back to these random comments so close to the election he couple(sic) put himself in serious trouble.

I wonder when the Freepers are going to discover that Trump’s birth certificate states that he was born somewhere in “Jamaica”.
It must be true, Trump is one authentic “jerk chicken”, amirite?
