Trump Quadruples Down on Birther Crap

Here at the Sanctuary, Donald Trump makes our heads hurt. He's loud, he's bombastic, he's arrogant, and as Bill Cosby recently pointed out, he's "full of it." Appearing on Candy Crowley's State of the Union on CNN, the Donald quadrupled down on the birther crap he's been spewing for the last few weeks.

TRUMP: The grandparents put that [birth announcement] in [the newspaper] because obviously they want him to be a United States citizen because in those days, people were much more proud than they are today unfortunately for being a United States citizen.

So they wanted him to be a citizen of the United States, for that purpose, and also for hospitalization, for welfare, for this, for that, for all the other assets you get from being a United States citizen. So there are a lot of very smart people who say that is routinely done and that was done by his grandparents. [...]

CROWLEY: I will tell you we’ve checked with both these papers early on — not to the latest when you brought it back in the headlines — but the fact is that the hospitals reported this information to the papers, and the papers printed it.

TRUMP: Who knows? You’re talking fifty years ago.
