Donald Trump Regurgitates 1 Of His Most Despicable, Racist Lies Online
HuffPost
The president dredged up a long-debunked conspiracy theory.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday shared a meme on his Truth Social platform that revived the long-debunked “birther” conspiracy theory about his first predecessor in the White House, former President Barack Obama.
Trump slammed the “re-Truth” button on an image of Obama taking the oath of office, alongside the caption: “A man using a different name. Swore on a Bible he doesn’t believe in. And betrayed a country he wasn’t born in.”

The post echoed the false claim that Obama was not born in the United States, a baseless allegation that Trump pushed for years and used to propel him into politics.
Trump finally conceded shortly before his surprise 2016 presidential election victory that Obama had, in fact, been born in Hawaii.
