On this day in 2012, (via @Trumphop) Trump was on a tweet-storm demanding that President Obama release records to prove he was born in the U.S., pushing the racist lie that the nation& #39;s first black president wasn& #39;t born in the U.S. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/261222827871567872">https://twitter.com/realDonal...

3/ It wasn& #39;t just that day. For months Trump posted videos, tweets and more trying to undermine the nation& #39;s first black president as not a "real" American. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/261192751935279104">https://twitter.com/realDonal...
4/ It was such a distraction and had found such an audience in the GOP, President Obama had already sent aides to Hawaii to obtain a copy of his long-form birth certificate. That was in April 2012; six months later Trump was still demanding more. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/44/post/white-house-releases-obamas-birth-certificate/2011/04/27/AFtXOVxE_blog.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_7">https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/44/...
5/ Incidentally, *six* years ago today Trump was attacking President Obama for how he handled a pandemic.
