Donald Trump has yet to comment personally on ‘birther’ retraction; America’s love affair with the gun; Hillary Clinton back on campaign trail after pneumonia
Donald Trump’s campaign has acknowledged Barack Obama was born in the United States, bringing to near-conclusion a conspiracy theory that kickstarted his presidential bid. But Trump has yet say it himself. “I’ll answer that question at the right time. I just don’t want to answer it yet,” he told the Washington Post. The Trump campaign also inaccurately blamed Hillary Clinton for the start of the false rumors about Obama’s birthplace and took credit for the release of the president’s birth certificate. Meanwhile, Trump told Dr Oz he feels as good now as he did at 30.
