GOP Nominee Appears To Give Nod To Birthers During Maine Rally
At a rally in Maine on Saturday, Donald Trump referred to President Barack Obama as our “quote, president,” using air quotes to imply that Obama somehow isn’t — or shouldn’t be — America’s commander in chief.Â
Trump, of course, built his presidential campaign largely around the racist lie that Obama wasn’t born in the US. He recently acknowledged that it was in fact a lie, but declined to apologize and falsely accused Hillary Clinton of starting it. Â Â
Referring to Clinton and Syrian refugees, Trump said Saturday: “She wants 550 percent more coming in from Syria than the thousands and thousands that our president — quote, president — has coming in.”
