"Same reason the left were totally against Obama having to show his birth certificate. It was such an easy thing to crush and make go away, yet dragged on forever."
I'm going to charitably presume that you weren't paying attention at the time and have been grossly misinformed by people who betrayed your trust. Obama released his birth certificate before the 2008 election even happened, and it wasn't good enough for the conspiracy minded who demanded the "long form" on the grounds that the one he'd already released looked fake to them. Even THAT didn't stop the diehard calls for ever more proof. (It also looked fake to them, because it didn't show what they wanted to see.) I think I recall hearing that although Trump took credit for causing the long-form birth certificate to be released he didn't admit that it was genuine until 2016.
[edit: As late as 2014, Trump was retweeting "@futureicon: @pinksugar61 Obama also fabricated his own birth certificate after being pressured to produce one by @realDonaldTrump" https://twitter.com/i/moments/776795610817007616?lang=en ]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
