Trump Admits Obama Was Born In The U.S.

“President Barrack Obama was born in the United States. Period.” That’s what republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump said during a press conference.

Trump, who started the ‘birther” movement, in an effort to discredit the nations first African American president, has finally given up on the blatant lie that brought him into the political spotlight years ago. Although Trump has admitted that the president was born in the United States, he has not apologized for his many claims over the years stating otherwise.

Democratic presidential nominee, Hilary Clinton believes that Trump owes president Obama an apology. “For five years, he has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president,” she said. “His campaign was founded on an outrages lie.”

In a recent CNN article, some of Trumps outrages claims about the presidents birthplace were published. Here are just a few of them:

1) “Why doesn’t he show his birth certificate? There’s something on that birth certificate that he doesn’t like.”

2) “He’s spent millions of dollars trying to get away from the issue. Millions of dollars in legal fees trying to get away from the issue. And I’ll tell what, I brought it up, just routinely, and all of a sudden a lot of facts are emerging and I’m starting to wonder myself whether of not he was born in this country.

3) “ His grandmother in Kenya said, ‘Oh no, he was born in Kenya and I was there and I witnessed the birth.’ She’s on tape. I think that tape’s going to be produced fairly soon. Somebody is coming out with a book in two weeks, it will be very interesting.”

Trump has made many other false claims regarding president Obama’s birthplace, but on April 7, 2011, Obama made his birth certificate public for all to see. Trump still went on with his birther rhetoric. “An extremely credible source has called my office and told me that @BarrackObama’s birth certificate is a fraud.”

Although Trump has finally admitted that president Obama was born in the United States, that did not stop him from attacking Hillary Clinton. Trump claimed that Clinton was the one that started the birther movement. A Trump spokesman on Thursday said, “Mr. Trump did a great service to the president and the country by bringing closure to the issue that Hillary Clinton and her team first raised.”

In 2008, then Senator Obama and Hillary Clinton were running against each other for president and in a “60 minuets” interview, Clinton said that she took Obamas word that he was born in the United States and that she does not believe that he was a Muslim, saying “No. No, there is nothing to base that on, as far as I know.” Clinton at no point of that interview questioned Obamas birthplace.

Trump, although he has finally said something factual, has still managed to twist this rare and seldom seen, true statement into another lie. His lies don’t seem to phase Obama though as the president often jokes about “the Donald.”

“Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald,” Obama said at the 2011 White House Correspondence dinner. “And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
