Donald Trump, more stupid than racist or more racist than stupid? Here’s his latest angle on why President Obama wasn’t born in the USA. Watch it.

Weirdly, Trump doesn’t seem to realize that for the purposes he’s discussing, an American mother makes you an American citizen. Period. Full stop.

What makes this all comical and egregious is that I don’t get the impression that Trump is any sort of conspiracy theorist or racist. But if that’s what’s necessary to pump up his latest ‘campaign’ stunt, bring it on.
