I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 17 at the time and a huge Obama supporter. All over internet forums, Hillary supporters were pushing the photo and Indonesia thing. One thing I can't remember was the nickname that these Clint9n supporters had that would push this stuff. Trump threw out the bait and now his surrogates will show the proof on tv. He is owning the media.
To most sane people, it is clear that Trump used the movement to get political fame. It's doubtful he ever believed it.
