The gift that keeps on giving...to the Democrats.
He's basically proposed "policies" that would ruin the country, lied about other policies (not only him but his spawn), refuses to release his tax returns (even Mittens, a real billionaire, did that), and now he's doubling down on stupid.
He doesn't know how to govern or lead. He only knows how to gossip,
You've nominated a fucking Troll! His people can't control him.
Take the bet, gripshits! PLEASE! You'll need the 90 days to collect your thoughts after this debacle brings your party to its knees.

Donald Trump on "birther" stance: "We have to keep the suspense going"

Just hours after Donald Trump’s campaign team attempted to definitively state that the Republican nominee believed President Obama was born in the United States, Trump himself teased a forthcoming announcement Friday where he said he would address the so-called “birther” issue.
“I’m going to make a big announcement on it today,” he told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo on “Mornings with Maria” Friday morning, previewing a visit to his newly opened Washington, D.C. hotel, just blocks away from the White House.
“We know that Obama now -- he was born in America, correct?” Bartiromo asked Trump.
“You watch my statement,” Trump responded. “I have to -- we have to keep the suspense going, okay? So you watch.”
In the Fox Business interview, Trump also accused Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, of having started the birther issue during the 2008 primary, peddling once more a falsehood he’s repeated time and time again on the campaign trail.
“Hillary brought it up during the campaign,” Trump told Bartiromo. “It was 2008 and it was brought up to her fairly well, and she brought it up, and I was the one that was successful in getting him to release his birth certificate.”
That accusation by Trump has been consistently found to be false. He first suggested it at the CPAC conference in 2015: “Hillary Clinton wanted [Mr. Obama’s] birth certificate. Hillary is a birther,” he said then, adding that she “was unable to get [Mr. Obama’s birth certificate].”
Factcheck.org has investigated this claim and wrote in Nov. 2008 that the claim that Mr. Obama had not been born in Hawaii had been circulated in late spring of that year by “diehard Hillary Clinton supporters,” as the Democratic nomination slipped away from Clinton. The journalists who reported the story, Byron Tau and Ben Smith, told Factcheck.org that the rumor came from Clinton’s supporters, and they had not ever found a link to her campaign. Clinton’s 2008 campaign also denied that it had anything to do with the rumor.
The comments from Trump Friday came less than a day after Trump refused to say in a Washington Post interview that he believed Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.
“I’ll answer that question at the right time,” Trump told the Post Thursday. “I just don’t want to answer it yet.”
Later that day, Trump’s campaign tried to neutralize the ongoing controversy with a statement from a senior aide claiming “Mr. Trump believes that President Obama was born in the United States.”
