I love politics. This is gonna be the best, most fun, presidential election season evah
Donald Trump has recently publicly revealed himself to be a conspiracy-theory birther. Trump has been calling for Obama to release his own birth certificate.
(Trump is apparently unawares that a copy of Obama's birth certificate has been available on the internet for 3 years, and it's authenticity has been verified by multiple officials, including the Republican Governor of Hawaii, and ancillary information - newspapers, etc. And it was George W. Bush's administration that verified Obama was a US citizen that could run for President, and neither Hillary or McCain's campaign could find any problems with Obama's citizenship)
Today Trump released his own birth certificate with a flourish. Seriously.
Except ... it's not an official birth certificate.
Where's your birth certificate, Trump? What are you hiding?
Newsmax, the conservative site to which Trump released his non-official birth certificate document

And appropriate superficial investigation reveals the document not to be official

And the absolutely bestest part is Ben Smith's tongue-in-cheek "comment" at the end of his article:
Quote:

"Trump's mother, it should be noted, was born in Scotland, which is not part of the United States. His plane is registered in the Bahamas, also a foreign country. This fact pattern -- along with the wave of new questions surrounding what he claims is a birth certificate -- raises serious doubts about his eligibility to serve as President of the United States.

LOL - you go, Ben.
