President Donald Trump spent a large part of a major speech on Friday attacking the media, in part for their use of anonymous sources – but he used unnamed sources to make repeated false claims about Barack Obama.

Mr Trump’s Twitter feed reveals at least five occasions where he cited anonymous sources to make racially charged slurs that President Obama was not born in the US.

In August 2012, Mr Trump claimed that “an extremely credible source” had called his office to tell him Mr Obama’s birth certificate was “fake”.

So saying he was born in Africa is inherently racially charged?

Maybe now that TRUMP is President the truth about the Fake Birth Certificate will finally come out.

Good God the media is oozing desperation from their pores.

This is some UK rag so they are all like the NY Post anyway.

Assuming that Obama, a Kenyan-American, was born in the country his father was birthed and lived the majority of his life and died in, along with his siblings, and his mother and him living out of the U.S for many years of his youth, is racist. The country his grandmother said she watched his birth happened in with her own eyes.

I'm sure Trump's stance evolved. Obama's stance on gay marriage evolved back and forth about 6 times depending on who and when he was talking about it as a Senator and then as President.

Whoa! Full-stop.

How is the location of Obama's birth a "racially charged slur"?

Trump obviously wasn't paying attention in journalism school. What shocks me is that, one of several levels of editors above him didn't catch the error. At the New York Times , CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, Wapo they always catch that kind of sloppiness, right? Right?
