Without a single shred of evidence, Trump insisted President Obama was not an American citizen, but was born in Kenya or somewhere else other than the United States. Even if Obama's mother, who was an American citizen, gave birth to him in a foreign country, which she didn't, her son would still be an American citizen. None of this mattered to Trump or his growing base of bigots. All that mattered was that they now had a spokesperson who would openly and repeatedly question the very legitimacy of the Obama presidency.
