In Trump's childish universe of "one up", Trump made the 1st black president jump through a hoop.
That's what it's all about.
Trump has said several times he made the president produce his birth certificate, gleefully with a seeming "ha ha".
Remember, in Obama's birth state, as in many states, including the one I was born, the state only issues a short form and that's it. The same form Obama was issued. In fact, Hawaii had to bypass it's law to issue the long form.
The administration had to make a special request from the state of Hawaii to get the long-form certificate released, White House legal counsel Bob Bauer said. Typically, the state only releases the shorter, computer-generated live birth certification when people request such documentation.

From Trump:
"I've accomplished something nobody else was able to accomplish," Trump said. "I'd want to look at (the birth certificate), but I hope it's true so that we can get on to much more important matters."
Obama "should have (released the certificate) a long, long time ago," he said.
-----------------
Obama had to petition the State of Hawaii for his long form. It had to be taken up by the state's legislation.
So, Trump slammed the integrity of not only the president, but his family AND the entire State of Hawaii.
And all to make the first black president jump through a hoop.
So he could gleefully "Ha Ha". To Republicans, it was worth it. They hate the first black president that much.
