Who’s the Illegitimate President Now, Mr. Birtherism?
Trump spent five years trying to delegitimize Obama. Now he's taking office under a cloud of suspicion, and only has himself to blame.

It is ironic that Donald Trump owes his success in Republican politics, and thus ultimately his presidency, to birtherism given the extent to which he failed to bring birtherism mainstream.

Don’t Watch Donald Trump’s Inauguration

• Trump Is Exactly the Monster We Feared, and Republicans Are Enabling Him

He assumed leadership of the birther movement in March 2011 when he first expressed public doubts about whether President Barack Obama was born in the U.S. The next month, Obama put an end to the farce by producing his Hawaiian birth certificate at a White House press conference, and days later humiliated Trump during the White House Correspondents Dinner. But Trump kept expressing doubts about Obama’s country of origin until late in the 2016 presidential campaign, when he shamelessly attempted to blame the entire crusade on Hillary Clinton. Eventually he had the last laugh.

Birtherism was a huge plot line of his presidency, one generally pushed by elements of the conservative fringe. Though these conspiracy theorists were egged on by Republicans, birtherism never became a mainstream Republican rallying cry because it is racist and fabricated. But the propulsive force behind birtherism, if not the theory itself, was a widely shared right-wing desire to void Obama’s presidency. Racism led elements of the far right to adopt birtherism specifically, but their quest was for any revelation that could prevent Obama from running the country. Only a few criteria govern who can become president; one of them is that the president must be a natural-born citizen; birtherism thus emerges from circular reasoning and wishful thinking. It is a tool that allows political nemeses to trump all politics, which is why white candidates likeJohn McCain and Ted Cruz have also found themselves at the center of less obviously racist birther inquests.

But if it’s ironic that Trump rose to the pinnacle of global power on the strength of a failed campaign to delegitimize Obama, it’s also fitting that his own presidency will begin under a mix of suspicions and legitimacy questions that are very real and that Trump brought upon himself.

What suspicion? Trump won 304 electoral votes according to how the Constitution says the process should occur. Nothing suspicious about that?

TRUMP is in deep DooDoo
Nobody who’s reasonable questions Trump’s eligibility for the presidency, but questions surrounding his entitlement to keep the job are widespread, and not just on the left-wing fringe. Birtherism may have been Trump’s accidental springboard to the presidency, but the next four years are set to express themselves as a continuous fight over the legitimacy of his presidency in ways that will make birtherism seem like a footnote.

The fact that Trump’s weak lock on the presidency isn’t more widely discussed is attributable almost entirely to Republicans in Congress who, for now and for the foreseeable future, have resolved to foreclose inquiries into Trump’s conduct that may yield impeachable offenses.

Democrats can’t force investigations, and they can’t issue subpoenas, so they can’t isolate the source of all the smoke. But it’s everywhere.

Consider the following:

• It is very likely that the FBI is investigating links between Trump’s campaign aides and Russian actors who allegedly conducted a sabotage campaign against the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton, and into whether Russian officials have the capacity to blackmail Trump.

• His designated CIA director, Mike Pompeo, not only vouchsafed the intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia embarked on its disruption campaign with the goal of helping Trump, but promised the senators considering his nomination “to pursue foreign intelligence with vigor no matter where the facts lead.”

• Trump has forced the director of the Office of Government Ethics, Walter Shaub, Jr., to take the unprecedented step of upbraiding the president-elect for freezing out ethics officers, and for making financial decisions that leave him highly conflicted between his business and the public interest. Shaub calledTrump’s decision to hand executive control over his business to his sons “wholly inadequate” and urged him to fully divest from the Trump organization.

• Ethics experts, and others on the left and right, have observed that Trump is very likely to become in violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitutionalmost immediately after taking the oath of office. Trump will set off a silent constitutional crisis in hour zero, leaving everyone wondering when it will become impossible to ignore.

The FBI has already declared there is no connection between Trump and Russia ...

Meanwhile the Ukraine publicly intervened in our election to help Hillary. It has been proven the Hillary campaign worked WITH the Ukraine on research and providing a report against Trump...that turned out to be false.

Where is the liberal outrage, hypocrite, against the Ukraine intervening and HILLARY working with a foreign govt to try to effect our election?!

you have a link to that fbi saying no connection?

 

[jc456]

I hate it when an OP starts out on a false premise.

It has been proven that Hillary started / spread the 'Birther' issue in 2008.

Consequently Obama dclared in 2008, "Hillary will DO and SAY anything to win ... and will change nothing."

Now, in 2017, Obama leaves office as the worst President in US History, and Hillary leaves, never reaching the WH, as the worst Presidential candidate in US history.

...worst president ,,,lol you're speaking out of your neither regions

WORST!!!

The only ones suspicious of anything are the wack jobs who still can't accept their chooosen one was rejected by the people perhaps you guys should go back to looking for the second gunman who was on the grassy knoll.

What will you say when your ah doesn't take questions from the press or refuses them entrance to the press
Does the FIRST AMENDMENT mean anything to you repubs or only the 2nd????

You have a skewed view of the First Amendment. Trump can do whatever he wants regarding the press. There is no right for them to force him to answer stupid questions.

All these butt hurt liberals really believe the American people are with them. They are absolutely delusional. I hope they keep it up. Trump may end up with 100% of the House and Senate. We the people are paying attention to who is trying to create problems for President Trump. We elected him we will back him.

For about the 50th time you have been told that is NOT how we elect a President.

Conflicts of interest. Russian connections. These are the salient issues concerning Trump's legitimacy. Had he disclosed his tax returns, had he had a more responsible response to the Russian hacking story, he might not be under this cloud of suspicion. Trump did not win a majority of the vote. He cannot effectively govern with just the support of his base. He will need the support of the whole nation.

Has the IRS charged him with anything? Has the IRS even suggested a problem with his taxes?

No?

Shut up then!

3 million votes more for hillary say you don't know what you're talking about

Do you know why no one cares that Carolina got 20 first downs while Denver only got 11? Any idea at all? Democrats are so stupid, it's incredible

why just not be honest and say the states were with him but not the overall population And I don't think you'll be getting that 76k edge you got in the 3 states that turned the tide for trump

Because I don't know that and neither do you.

Suppose the Super Bowl was scored on first downs instead of points? Would that have changed how many first downs the teams got? Obviously it would. There were tens of millions of Republicans in California, New York and Illinois alone with no reason to vote. Trump had no chance and Democrats are well oiled machines who dominate State elections. Neither Trump nor Hillary spent a dime there.

This is just your raging butt hurt over losing the election. You can't accept it. And your argument is completely brainless and devoid of merit. No one ran for the popular vote and obviously the voters knew how the election was run.

Then after you say campaigns don't effect elections, people knowing if their votes count doesn't affect elections, you turn around and say the Russians telling us what we already knew, that Hillary was corrupt, that does effect the election.

You're just stupid after stupid after stupid

Were you birthers led by chump stupid stupid stupid too???

Have you been reduced to incoherent babbling now?

No one is illegitimate, both Obama and Trump won the electoral college. It was hilarious though how Obama accused himself of being born in Kenya to his publisher. He was the original birther. What a dumb ass.

BTW, he was legit even if he was, his mother was American, he's a natural born American. But what an idiot, who gets their own country of birth wrong?

No one illegitimate kaz Even if Russia lent a helping hand? are repubs and putin all buddy buddy now??

I'll ask again, how?

eddie like every other Democrat can't answer that question.

The question, eddie, is how did what the Russians did harm Hillary? Be specific

It's a difficult task mostly impossible that you put before me. I'm not privy to all the info those 17 agencies accusing russia and putin of hacking our system are BUT we do know repubs were using the hacked e mails against her and we do know repubs are slime balls that will go to the bottom of the barrel to achieve their aims

Do you know the difference between a hack and a leak?

There is tons of evidence that Podesta was a moron!

The question, eddie, is how did what the Russians did harm Hillary? Be specific

It's a difficult task mostly impossible that you put before me. I'm not privy to all the info those 17 agencies accusing russia and putin of hacking our system are BUT we do know repubs were using the hacked e mails against her and we do know repubs are slime balls that will go to the bottom of the barrel to achieve their aims

Do you know the difference between a hack and a leak?

There is tons of evidence that Podesta was a moron!

Trump now has his own Birtherism he must deal with over the next 4 years!!!!! This ain't going anywhere!! Enjoy conservative America....this is what you voted for. America is in for a long Nightmare for the next 4 years.

Who’s the Illegitimate President Now, Mr. Birtherism?
Trump spent five years trying to delegitimize Obama. Now he's taking office under a cloud of suspicion, and only has himself to blame.

It is ironic that Donald Trump owes his success in Republican politics, and thus ultimately his presidency, to birtherism given the extent to which he failed to bring birtherism mainstream.

Don’t Watch Donald Trump’s Inauguration

• Trump Is Exactly the Monster We Feared, and Republicans Are Enabling Him

He assumed leadership of the birther movement in March 2011 when he first expressed public doubts about whether President Barack Obama was born in the U.S. The next month, Obama put an end to the farce by producing his Hawaiian birth certificate at a White House press conference, and days later humiliated Trump during the White House Correspondents Dinner. But Trump kept expressing doubts about Obama’s country of origin until late in the 2016 presidential campaign, when he shamelessly attempted to blame the entire crusade on Hillary Clinton. Eventually he had the last laugh.

Birtherism was a huge plot line of his presidency, one generally pushed by elements of the conservative fringe. Though these conspiracy theorists were egged on by Republicans, birtherism never became a mainstream Republican rallying cry because it is racist and fabricated. But the propulsive force behind birtherism, if not the theory itself, was a widely shared right-wing desire to void Obama’s presidency. Racism led elements of the far right to adopt birtherism specifically, but their quest was for any revelation that could prevent Obama from running the country. Only a few criteria govern who can become president; one of them is that the president must be a natural-born citizen; birtherism thus emerges from circular reasoning and wishful thinking. It is a tool that allows political nemeses to trump all politics, which is why white candidates likeJohn McCain and Ted Cruz have also found themselves at the center of less obviously racist birther inquests.

But if it’s ironic that Trump rose to the pinnacle of global power on the strength of a failed campaign to delegitimize Obama, it’s also fitting that his own presidency will begin under a mix of suspicions and legitimacy questions that are very real and that Trump brought upon himself.

Trump is legit....you guys play politics with this shit.
People believed Obama wasn't born in the US and while it was incorrect, it is different than what you guys are doing.

You guys just keep letting Trump rape you over and over.

The constitution says nothing about letting another nation help in our elections

What was Obama doing when he was meddling in Israel's election?

What exactly did Russia do? No one has ever even answered that question!

Did they change vote totals? No.

Then they did NOTHING outside what Obama did to Netanyahu.

Meh! The truth is Trump has made to many enemies and this is before he is even sworn in to take his oath of Office to become the greatest FASCIST ever elected by Red State America.

you don't get it He is unable ,unqualified to answer most of the questions put to him ..the man politically speaking is a dullard

YOU don't get it.

Barry, admittedly, was tutored by Communist Frank Marshall Davis, studied Socialist Saul Alynski - quoted him during an innauguration, mentored by a racist hate-spewing, un-American 'pastor', and friends with a domestic terrorist.

He was a Community organizer and a half a term Senator before beginning to run for President. He was not a business owner, had not run a business, never hired anyone, never negotiated big international deals, never dealt with foreign (business) leaders

...Trump has. In many ways, Trump is more qualified to be President than Barry when Barry 1st ran.

Hey Eddie, how is that irrelevant Popular Vite thing working out for you snowflakes? Hillary got her inauguration speech written?
