Donald Trump promised a “major announcement” during a campaign event at his new D.C. hotel on Friday morning after being dogged in recent days by questions about whether he stands by questioning President Obama’s birthplace.

In recent interviews, Trump has pointedly sidestepped questions on whether he now believes Obama is American born. When Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo pressed Trump to clarify his views, the GOP nominee encouraged her to pay attention to his remarks this morning, saying, “We have to keep the suspense going.”

Watch the event live via NBC News:

  1. Is drumpfy big investigation finally over? Of will drumpfy finally admit he is a liar?

  2. Oh, this should be good. He may sort of apologize but not before lying about everything. That’s what narcissistic psychopaths do.

  3. Will he take questions from the press ? uhm, never mind…

    This is complete BS.So after years of peddling this racist crap and basing your popularity with the deplorables on this, he now “disavows” it and the media hail this as a major event. CNN has a nauseating headline on the website " Death of birtherism". They can’t wait to pump up this guy, as Les Moonves said - he is great for ratings. Thats all they care about.
