Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has finally
said that President Barack Obama was born in the United States after Trump
called his place of birth in to question in the 2012 election.
Donald Trump has finally acknowledged the fact that
President Barack Obama was born in the United States.
Trump said Friday that “President Barack Obama was born
in the United States, period.”
As he did so, the Republican nominee repeated the
conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign for president started
the so-called the “birther controversy.”
There is no evidence that is true, and Clinton and her
allies have strongly denied that suggestion.
Trump says of the “birther” movement: “I finished it.
You know what I mean.”
The Republican nominee has for years been the most
prominent “birther,” the name given to those who propagated the falsehood that
Obama was born outside of the country.
