The U.S. has never had a President Hussein. Are you from the Middle East?
He must really embarrass you, that Hussein guy.
You hate Muslims??????
That must be the reason.
Actually.....I'm from the Far East, but far more American than you.
You just reminded me of how far back Trump's lies go.
Remember when he swore blind that Obama was not an American?
Then-
Wonder how long his "I won the election!" lie will go on for before he puts on his "big boy pants". and admits the truth?
Actually, it was the Democrats and the Obamas who claimed he was not an American, you dunce.
1. Hillary Clinton's campaign began the view that Hussein was born elsewhere
“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy,” Trump said today. His campaign subsequently circulated a link to a memo written by Clinton’s 2008 chief strategist,
Mark Penn, suggesting they promote then Senator Obama’s “lack of American roots,” as well as the transcript of an interview Clinton’s 2008 campaign manager Patty Solis Doyle, where she tells Wolf Blitzer a staffer forwarded an email promoting the birther conspiracy in 2007, but that staffer was immediately fired.
Penn did write
a memo in 2007 saying that Obama’s foreign background could present a weakness for him, and Clinton should emphasize her middle-class Midwestern upbringing.
"His roots to American values and culture are at best limited," the memo says. "I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and values."

2. Hussein himself told his agent/publisher to write that he was from Kenya....or, did they just pick a country out of a hat?

3. Michelle Obama made the claim that Kenya was Hussein's 'homecountry'
Don't make that mistake again.
Don't lie, she didn't question his birthplace just his recognition of his homeland you silly whoore!
My younger brother was born in Cambridge England. He claims though to be Irish because of his 3 older brothers, his parents/grandparents were all Irish. Many second-generation immigrants born in England see their parent's homeland as theirs.
However, the point I made was not who started the rumour but that Trump is a pathological liar.
It makes it an even a bigger stain on his character that he would listen to baseless tittle-tattle and exaggerate it to allege Obama wasn't born in the US then run with it for years until finally having to admit he lied.

16 Sep 2016 — Donald Trump blames Hillary Clinton for starting rumours about Barack Obama's citizenship and birthplace - but the truth is markedly different.
Republican Donald Trump asserted that Democrat Hillary Clinton and her campaign team first raised questions about Barack Obama's birthplace in 2008 - and that he was the man who settled the issue in 2011.
The truth, however, is markedly different.
As a preface to this latest turn in the Obama "birther" row, it should be noted that the location of Mr Obama's birth is generally considered irrelevant to whether Mr Obama is eligible to serve as US president. As long as he has one parent who was a US citizen, as Mr Obama's Kansas-born mother was, he is considered by the US government to be a "natural born citizen". That - along with being at least 35 years of age and resident in the US for 14 years - is the only necessary constitutional requirement for the presidency.
Now, according to fact-checkers and contemporary media reports, questions about Mr Obama's birthplace began circulating among disgruntled Clinton supporters in the last months of her ill-fated campaign against the then-Senator Obama in 2008.
It was desperate times in the Clinton camp, and the candidate did not always acquit herself well, such as when she said that Mr Obama was not a Muslim "
as far as I know". But there is no evidence of ties between her and her campaign staff and the Obama birthplace allegations.
Prior to Hillary Clinton's endorsement of Barack Obama in June 2008, some of her supporters circulated rumours about his birthplace
In June 2008 the Obama campaign released a photocopy of his short-form "certificate of live birth" showing that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on 4 August, 1961. (Reporters also unearthed a contemporaneous birth announcement published in a Hawaiian newspaper.)
This was not enough for some conspiracy-minded Obama critics, however, who questioned the authenticity of the document and demanded the "long-form" certificate from the Democrat's birth hospital.
During the general election campaign the rumours spread to the fringes of the right - evidenced most notably when a woman at a John McCain rally told the Republican candidate that Mr Obama was an "Arab".

Senator McCain took away her microphone and informed her she was wrong.
"Senator Obama is a decent person and a person you don't have to be scared of as president of the United States," he said.
From there, the conspiracy theories continued to simmer on the right in the early days of Mr Obama's first term in office. Orly Taitz, a conservative activist, filed lawsuits challenging the president's eligibility to serve - but all were quickly dismissed from US courts.
Enter Donald Trump.
In March 2011, he first began mentioning that he had "real doubts" about whether Mr Obama had a US birth certificate.
In the days that followed, he said he was sending a team of private investigators to Hawaii to learn the truth and promised to donate $5m to charity if anyone could convince him Mr Obama was born on US soil.

On 27 April, 2011, the Obama White House released his original "long-form"
birth certificate.
In a press release on Thursday night and on stage in Washington, DC, on Friday morning, this is the moment Mr Trump pointed to as the "great service" he performed in laying to rest questions about Mr Obama's birthplace.
The truth here, however, is also markedly different.
Over the following years, Mr Trump continued to raise questions and express doubts.
In 2012
he tweeted that he had an "extremely credible source" who told him the birth certificate was a fraud.
In 2013
he raised suspicion about the death of a Hawaiian health official who verified copies of Mr Obama's "birth certificate".
In 2014
he asked hackers to access Mr Obama's college records and check his "place of birth".
As recently as this month, Mr Trump did not back away from his past support of the "birther" cause.
"I don't talk about it because if I talk about that, your whole thing will be about that,"
Trump said. "So I don't talk about it."
Mr Trump did talk about it on Friday - and he's right, it's all anyone is going to write about.
