Donald Trump Goes Birther-Lite

By The Daily Dish

The following quote is taken from his appearance on Good Morning America:

Everybody that even gives any hint of being a birther, a word you didn’t use, even a little bit of a hint like gee, you know, maybe, just maybe, this much of a chance, they label them as an idiot. Let me tell you, I’m a really smart guy. I was a really good student at the best school in the country. The reason I have a little doubt, just a little, is because he grew up and nobody knew him. When you interview people, if I ever got the nomination, if I ever decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They’ll remember me. Nobody ever comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It’s very strange. The whole thing is very strange.

Yes, maybe Obama was never young at all.
