Trump is back to Birtherism

[Dr. Arch]

And so it goes. Wake me up when it's over. What a nightmare.

[Dr. Arch]

This can only be bad for him. It was his only call to fame that he used to rise in politics, and now he is being forced to admit it was all a scam from the beginning.

Now it can be properly attacked and initiate a dialogue on his racist motivations from the very beginning, especially with that lie about the 2008 HRC campaign starting it. Quite a sh**t storm.

[Dr. Arch]

HRC's campaign statement on Trump and Birtherism today:

"What Donald Trump just did is a disgrace. Expressing zero regret for years of pushing a racist conspiracy theory, Trump again appointed himself judge and jury on President Obama's citizenship.

Leading the birther movement is deplorable. Attempting to say it "did a great service" to the president who Trump attacked is asinine. When Trump tries to deflect blame for denying that President Obama was born in America, he is lying.

Again, Trump turns his faults on others. Psychologists call it "projecting." Kids call it "I'm rubber, you're glue." This shouldn't have to be said: You don’t just get to say someone else did the worst things you’ve done. It doesn’t work. No one buys it.

Trump has spent years peddling a racist conspiracy aimed at undermining the first African American president. He can't just take it back. The birther lie is what turned Trump from an ordinary reality TV star into a political figure. That origin story can't be unwritten. Trump’s birtherism stems from the same innate beliefs that led to discriminating against black tenants early in his career. That can't be undone.

What Donald Trump should do: for once in his life, own up to his mistakes. Apologize to the president, and the American people."
