Emotional Obama Tearfully Thanks Trump for Granting Him Citizenship
Firstly, some sarcasm. The only question about which should be whether it is sufficient to meet the demand!
Followed by some straight talk. The best part about Trump's sadly belated and almost certainly insincere admission, is that it will tease out the accurate chronicling of his 5 years pushing a dumb-ass conspiracy theory that only THE dumbest of mf's ever believed.
Thanks for nothing you dishonest bigoted P.O.S.!

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling this “the greatest day of my life,” a visibly moved Barack Obama held a news conference on Friday to thank Donald Trump for granting him U.S. citizenship.
“The issue of whether or not I was a U.S. citizen has been a dark cloud over my existence for as long as I can remember,” a tearful Obama told the press corps. “Only one man had the courage, wisdom, and doggedness to make that cloud go away: Donald J. Trump.”
The President, who had to halt several times during his remarks to compose himself, praised the Republican Presidential nominee for “never giving up” in his quest to prove that Obama was born in the U.S.
“A weaker man would have said, ‘I don’t need this in my life,’ but Donald Trump was always there for me,” the President said. “Over the past five years, barely a day went by when he didn’t call me and say, ‘Barack, I don’t care what a bunch of crackpots say. You were born here, and I’m going to prove it once and for all.’ “
The President said he planned to spend the day celebrating his U.S. citizenship with his family. “It’s great to be an American, at last,” he said.
When asked if he had any message for Trump, the President paused for a moment. “Just this: I love you,” he said, a tear trickling down his cheek.
Let's get something straight.
No matter what Donald Trump said today, he can't change the fact that he fed into the absurd, racist birther movement for five years.
He can't change that his entire campaign was founded on this lie -- which has given a national stage to the worst conspiracy theorists of the alt-right.
As recently as this week Trump would not say that Barack Obama was born in the United States. So nothing he said today -- no scripted remarks written by his campaign advisors -- will fool anyone.
We know what Donald Trump really believes.
