Trump is a shit heel and is going to try to push "fake news" as an angle for his idiot base to discredit any news he doesn't like. Watch and see, this will become his standard from now on. Anything Trump doesn't like "oh it's fake news".

Never mind he started his whole "political career" on the back of the birth fake story on president Obama, which even he has now disavowed as bullshit.

But sure maybe the new should focus on Trumpcare, which is going to cut 22 million people off medical coverage or his environmental record that's going to destroy most environmental regulations for the benefit of rich corporations.

Trump was pushing the birther issue before he was in politics at all. He did not use it during his running this term. He was not up against Obama, so how would it help.

Also he did not come up with the birther. It was someone on Hillary Clinton's team back during the democratic primaries in 2008. He just ran with it and beat that horse way after it was dead.

The birther thing was obviously politically motivated. Why the hell else would he do it?

Wether he did it to already then start building an antiestablishment character and fanbase in preparation for eventually running for president himself, or if it was to try and decrease Obama's support to help the republican candidate of the time, obviously it was a political thing.
