Donald Trump knows better. The fact that he is willing to jump on the birther bandwagon like many other willfully ignorant Right Wing Americans prove that he is not qualified to be President of the United States.
While he knows better, the fact that he would stoke many of those who are seeking a reason to be misinformed because of their innate prejudices shows that he is willing to drive a wedge of hate with the expectation that it will increase the probability that he may be the Republican’s nominee for the presidency. After-all in order to win the Republican primary requires that a candidate appeal to the Rights visceral hate of our President.
When the president was born the announcement was in two newspapers. In fact FactCheck.org provided a complete expose that disprove the birthers tenet soundly. That is not the issue however. The issue is that the Republicans have an army of flawed candidates. They are either morally impaired (e.g., Gingrich leaving each of his wives when they were sick as well as being disciplined by Congress), policy impaired (e.g, Romney supporting universal healthcare and a public mandate), or simply intellectually incompetent (Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, etc). With a field like that it is necessary to find an ancillary issue to take the electorate’s mind off real issues and candidate’s competency.
It is an unpatriotic gesture to foment and encourage that which is really behind the birther movement, prejudice. You see President Obama, a faithful father, a faithful husband, and a faithful public servant that have lived the American dream and abided by values some are only able to hypocritically articulate but not live, has become a threat. After-all President Obama having lived the American dream and the true American moral values would forever dispel the stereotypes that are necessary to foment continued division.
