It all started when Trump tweeted: “I am now going to the brand new Trump International, Hotel D.C. for a major statement.” Obviously, that was interpreted by the press to mean he was going to address “birther questions.” And they took the bait, kind of expecting Donald Trump to take questions about whether he still questions if President Obama was born in the United States....
Boy were they trolled. Instead, they got more than a half hour of a variety of military heroes — generals, medal of honor recipients and a gold star wife for good measure — expressing support for the Republican nominee....
At the very end of the campaign event, Trump finally addressed the topic the media was there to hear. Summed up with the following:
“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it.”
“President Barack Obama was born in the United States Period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong again.”
Many reporters, some standing on chairs, began shouting questions over the applause from the guests in attendance. But Trump, having accomplished what he wanted, took none.
And it all aired live on the cable news networks....You can watch the whole event here:
