People on this board do that crap all the time.Her supporters started it. So it is linked to her.FactCheck.org reports that while the issue was raised by diehard Clinton supporters in 2008, there is nothing to link Clinton, her campaign or her staff to the issue.

Was Hillary Clinton the Original ‘Birther’?
It is certainly interesting, and perhaps historically and politically relevant, that “birther” advocacy may have originated with supporters of Hillary Clinton — especially since many view it as an exclusively right-wing movement. But whether those theories were advocated by Clinton and/or her campaign or simply by Clinton “supporters” is an important distinction. Candidates are expected to be held accountable for the actions of their campaigns. Neither Cruz nor Trump, whose campaign did not respond to our request for backup material, provides any compelling evidence that either Clinton or her campaign had anything to do with starting the so-called birther movement.

So, there it is. There is no evidence to support Trump's claim.
How is that a link?
If I support you and I start making up crap about your opponent, how is that mean that you are making up crap about your opponent?
It's a link in a chain and that chain started with her and either she got someone to float the birther notion or someone started it on their own.
Either way it was a Hillary supporter that started it.
