The birther lies were just like today's stories about Trump. Folks are not happy with the President because their values differ and just threw anything against the wall to see if anything sticks.
This "Trump started the birther movement" is just silly. Hills and her supporters were bringing it up in 2008. Matter of fact there are articles that suggest it started as early as 2004. Trump first mentioned it in 2011 and I'm sure his goal was to de-legitimize the Obama's Presidency simply because of Political reasons. But it makes Trump sound like a racist if folks go with the narrative: "Trump started the birther movement because Obama is Black". I really don't give those folks credit at looking at much with an open mind. They're probably actually rational people, but the current event have them twisted.
Cruz's father became a naturalized in 2005 long after Teddy was born.
I'm not aware of a single person who claims Trump started the birther movement so it doesn't surprise me you focus on the tree instead of the forest.
Are you one of those that look at Trump with an open mind? Folks are funny.
