Wait wait wait wait wait just a damn minute...
Donald Trump, for years a key figure in the Birther movement, is actually trying to claim that said movement was started by Hillary Clinton? Are you seriously fucking shitting me? The implication here being that he's saying it all like, hey whoa now, Hillary started that shit not me, I'm just the one who put an end to it, get mad at her not me, it's her fault this mess got as out of hand as it did not mine, tsk tsk bad Hillary, shame on you Hillary. (By the way, Trump "finished" exactly jack and shit. It was Obama who finished it when he released his birth records, mainly just to finally shut up asinine assholes like Trump, and yet, even that wasn't enough to silence the asinine assholes like Trump.)
(EDIT) And let's pause for a moment and pretend that it was actually true that Hillary did start the Birther movement, even though it has already been proven not to be true. Even if it was true, how does that in any way mitigate the fact that it was Donald Trump, not Hillary Clinton, who was the biggest, loudest, brayingest jackass in the whole thing? Seriously, Trump saying that Hillary started it as though it was a bad thing makes no sense. If she actually did start it, you'd think Trump would have been praising her for it, given how big into it he was (and, honestly, despite his words to the contrary, given that Trump is a huge goddamn liar, probably still is) rather than condemning her for it. If it's bad that Hillary started the Birther movement, as Trump is implying, then it's even worse that Trump himself jumped into it with both feet and sunk himself up to the eyeballs in the shit. On the other hand, if Trump being proud of the fact that he "finished" it is a good thing, then why would it be a bad thing that Hillary started it? Really, the more I try to parse this, the more I don't get it. Either way you look at it, it's really fucking stupid on Trump's part. Trump's razor in full effect, I guess. (/EDIT)
No, really, let's recap here. First, Donald Jankass Trump makes the asinine claim that Obama and Hillary Clinton started ISIS, and now he's saying Clinton started the Birther movement. Is this idiotic man truly out of his goddamn fucking mind? I mean, all joking and ridicule aside, this is an actual, legitimate concern for me, now. The fact that this seemingly almost literally insane, pathologically lying man is as close to being the POTUS as he is is utterly horrifying. He's starting to reach Nineteen Eighty-Four levels of doublethink with the stupid shit he says. In this case, he wants the "benefit" that being a Birther got him, while at the same exact time trying to foist the blame for the Birther movement onto Hillary, despite Trump himself being one of the biggest proponents of it.
I don't know what is worse. Is it worse that Donald Trump so brazenly bald-faced lies his fucking orange ass off like this? Or is it worse that he knows that he can pretty much get away with it, regardless, because he knows that there are far too many mentally deficient people out there who want to believe the ludicrous filth he spews and, thus, will believe it, no matter what else? This is what Stephen Colbert meant when he coined the term "truthiness." Trump's bullshit has a certain "truthiness" to his supporters. (And "truthiness" feeds into "Trumpiness.") "They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act," indeed. It truly is deplorable. (Hmm, so is "deplorable" the new "racist"? Well... second verse, same as the first, I guess.)
NB4 Trump backpedals yet again and says he was just joking.
