Mika Asks Chris Christie If Trump Is "Fit To Be Presdent" Since He Was The Leader Of The Birthers
The question of Trump's "fitness for office" has been in the news lately. Mika Brzezinski of the tv show Morning Joe posed the question to NJ Governor Chris Christie Wednesday morning. Of course Christie said Trump is fit. Mika countered by saying that many people say there is something "wrong" with Trump, and brought up his birtherism as an example of one of the things that is wrong with him and why he is not fit. Christie just said that Trump was "wrong" about that.
I have commented on this a number of times, mainly during the campaign. I contend that , in and of itself, Trump's birtherism disqualified him for the office of the president, and of course, adds to the totality of his "unfitness".
By 2011, when Trump went public with his fantasy that President Obama had been born in Kenya, the state of Hawaii dept. of health had already , TWICE, on two different occasions , announced officially and publicly that the head of the department had, at the governor's request found and examined Obama's original long form birth certificate in the state archives. The "case" had in fact been closed.
Were Donald Trump a serious person worthy of ever being considered for the presidency of the United States , either he or someone he directed to, would have contacted the governor of Hawaii's office about Obama's birth, at which point he would have been told that the original birth certificate was officially safe and sound and inspected in the state archives. His "curiosity" would then have been solved.
Someone who was a serious person considering political office would have done something reasonable to find out the truth, like ask the people in charge of it in the Hawaii state government.
Instead, Trump went on Fox News and Good Morning America and announced his detectives were finding out"incredible" things about Obama's birth. "Detectives" who were never heard from again.
To sane and reasonable people, Trump's birther excursions totally disqualified him from any office, let alone president. To his base they made him a contender.
