Birther Trump Produces Fake Birth Certificate

Sweet, sweet irony. Ben Smith reports:

Donald Trump made headlines earlier today when he provided what he said was a copy of his birth certificate—but a quick check reveals it’s actually not an official document. [...]

Trump's mother, it should be noted, was born in Scotland, which is not part of the United States. His plane is registered in the Bahamas, also a foreign country. This fact pattern -- along with the wave of new questions surrounding what he claims is a birth certificate -- raises serious doubts about his eligibility to serve as President of the United States.

51 percent of Republican primary voters think President Obama was born in Kenya. And because they're, you know, not racists, we can expect that they'll demand to see every candidate's birth certificate, right? So let's have 'em.

Meanwhile, here's Trump flipping his shit over the president's birth certificate.

Circus clowns.
