    Obama choose to release (and re-release and re-re-release) his certificate because he was constantly fighting a crisis of legitimacy. He did it out of weakness, because he was afraid what people would undermine him through doubt.

    Trump is very obviously a pedophile and even more obviously does not give a shit that you know it. He’s not giving you anything, because he does not feel the need to legitimize himself to the public.

      Also despite him releasing all birth documentation that proved beyond all doubt that he was born in the US, had an American born mother, and everything… and then they photoshopped his certificates and acted like those were the released documents and mocked him.

      Fuck them.

      Thank you! People ignoring this in their arguments really grind my gears. Cant use arguments when your counterpart does not value them, no matter how much you yourself value them.
