On this day in 2012, (via @Trumphop) Trump was on a tweet-storm demanding that President Obama release records to prove he was born in the U.S., pushing the racist lie that the nation's first black president wasn't born in the U.S. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/261222827871567872
2/ Not surprisingly, Trump found plenty of support in right-wing media for his racist nonsensical birtherism. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/261218528206667777
3/ It wasn't just that day. For months Trump posted videos, tweets and more trying to undermine the nation's first black president as not a "real" American. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/261192751935279104
4/ It was such a distraction and had found such an audience in the GOP, President Obama had already sent aides to Hawaii to obtain a copy of his long-form birth certificate. That was in April 2012; six months later Trump was still demanding more. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/44/post/white-house-releases-obamas-birth-certificate/2011/04/27/AFtXOVxE_blog.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_7
5/ Incidentally, *six* years ago today Trump was attacking President Obama for how he handled a pandemic.
