"Donald Trump’s birther event is the greatest trick he’s ever pulled"https://t.co/zvVQnxeiQ9— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 17, 2016
And here's (part of) what the article actually says:
Trump's
assertions about Clinton's role in the
birther movement are wrong. His simple statement that Obama was born in the
United States directly contradicts myriad statements he has made questioning
the president's birthplace over the past five years.
But
neither of those things were the most amazing part of that Trump event. The
most amazing thing was that it took the Republican nominee 29 minutes to
deliver those three sentences. The event was slated to start at 10 a.m. Eastern
time. It wasn't until 11 a.m. that it actually began — with Trump touting his
new hotel and proclaiming that it is likely to be one of the best in the world.
He then ceded the stage to a parade of decorated military veterans who
testified to his toughness, his judgment and his temperament.
…
It was a low moment for politics and political coverage. A nothing-burger
filled with falsehoods covered as though it was the Super Bowl. But for Trump,
it might have been his crowning achievement: All eyes on him with the chance to
direct the play in whatever way he saw fit. The ringmaster — calling the shots
in all three rings of the circus. It was peak Trump. Read the entire article here.
