Trump is too stupid to realize he's become a laughingstock.
Mitt Romney's father was born in Mexico, into a polygamist cult, and nobody is demanding Romney's birth certificate. Silence.
John Sununu, Mitt Romney's favorite dog-whistle blower, was born in Cuba. Silence.
John McCain was born in the Panama Canal zone. Nobody asks for his birth certificate. Silence.
Barack Obama's father was born in Kenya, yet the demands never shut up, even after all the facts show he was beyond a doubt born in Hawaii. That's racism.

Nobody has disputed where McCain, Romney, or Sununu were born. If people start disputing it then it could be an issue. But since there has never been any evidence disputing it, it has never been an issue.
I think you are way off base about thinking it is racism. If it was simply racism, why haven't other black candidates been questioned about where they were born? Jesse Jackson ran for President. Nobody questioned where he was born. Herman Cain ran for President. Nobody questioned where he was born. When Clarence Thomas was elected to the Supreme Court, did anyone question where he was born? Has anyone ever questioned where Alan Keyes or Colin Powell were born?
Whether Obama was born in Hawaii or not, there has certainly been enough stuff out there that would make any logical person wonder. First of all, he first claimed he was born in one hospital. Then he changed his story and claimed he was born in a different hospital. I could go on and on.
Going back to the subject of his literary agency saying that he was born in Kenya, the agency claims that his agent's intern wrote the bio. If nobody told the intern that Obama was born in Kenya, then why did she write that he was born in Kenya? Where did she come up with that? Did it just come out of thin air? Are you saying that nobody told her that he was born in Kenya but she just decided to write it any way? I can't think of any logical explanation. But even if you can come up with some ridiculous explanation, then you still have to explain why his agent didn't correct the mistake. It is beyond far-fetched to think that a successful literary agent would allow a bio written by an intern to be distributed without the agent reading it first. The agent would have obviously read it and if there were any mistakes in the bio, the agent would have corrected it.
