April 12: What Donald Trump's Birther
Investigators Will Find in Hawaii ... When you go to Hawaii to investigate
Obama's birth, what you're looking to examine are public records. They're easy
to find. Fly into the Honolulu airport, rent a car, and drive downtown to the
state library ... Once inside the library, head downstairs where they keep the
microfilm. Obama was born (they tell us) on August 4, 1961, but you'll want the
August 13, 1961 edition of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, because that's
when the birth announcement appeared. When you've loaded up the film, flip to
the back pages, to the section of the paper called "Vital Statistic." This is
the record of births, marriages, and deaths provided by the Hawaii Department of
Health's Bureau of Vital Statistics. When you get to Page B-6, scan down the
lefthand column--there it is, toward the bottom:
Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy., son, Aug. 4 [note that
it does not say "... Kenya, son, Aug 4~!]

July 2:In the birther
movement, Mr. Trump recognized an
opportunity to connect with the electorate over an issue many considered taboo:
the discomfort, in some quarters of American society, with the election of the
nation's first black president.

September 16: Full Flop: Donald Trump
abandons Barack Obama birther conspiracy
[In admitting that he outright lied to get your vote -- and you maybe fell for
it?]:
September 17: No, Hillary Clinton did not
start the 'birther' movement ... Could Clinton have been more forceful in
pushing back on the rumors? Yes ... is there evidence that she or top campaign
officials stoked the fire that Trump and assorted right wingers have openly and
gleefully fueled in public for years? No.

January 20: Lest We Forget: the Birther Lie
... Donald Trump rode to power on the wings of a dark lie — one of the most
malignant and ugly lies in American history.
Bill Moyers and four historians ... discuss the fertile ground on which the
birther lie was sown: our nation’s history of white supremacy.

June 22: The President is known to be loath
to publicly admit that he made a mistake. Last September, for instance, Trump
finally repudiated his years-long conspiracy theory that claimed President
Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
But the admission came only at the end of a rambling event at his
new hotel in Washington that included warm public testimony on his character
from veterans.
January 3:
Donald Trump is still a birther ... Trump owes his
political career to birtherism. As The New York Times
wrote in July, “The more Mr. Trump questioned the legitimacy of Mr. Obama’s
presidency, the better he performed in the early polls of the 2012 Republican
field, springing from fifth place to a virtual tie for first.” Though not a
particularly competent birther, Trump was the conspiracy theory’s
highest-profile adherent, which helped legitimize it, in much the same way that
Trump’s 2016 campaign has normalized a host of previously taboo positions.
