"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 ": Obama also fabricated his own birth certificate after being pressured to produce one by " https://twitter.com/i/moments/776795610817007616?lang=en ]

Your presumption is incorrect. Yes Obama was being asked to be more technical about his paperwork, but it still was such a small ask. Somewhat petty, but again, so easy to make go away and move on. When it comes to the left now they are being just as ridiculous. They pick everything Trump says apart and spin it in whatever way allows them to be able to 'justifiably' ask another useless question about a situation, and when Trump asks why they want to know, or refuses, they scream he's a Russian spy, impeach him. The Dems were even asking Kavanaugh hypothetical outcomes of potential future judgments, which they know isn't worth asking because no judge is going to touch that with a ten foot pole, and for good reason, yet they asked over and over and over to try and get him to back himself into a corner. Both sides are guilty of it, I was just leveling the playing field.
