I think The Donald is pulling off a joke to make birthers look foolish, he has no
intentions of running for POTUS.

Because the rest of that sentence didn't apply to the videos I posted.

If you claim the info is false, disprove it.

Talking Trump Releases His Birth Certificate to Newsmax

Except it wasn't as good as the one Obama released three years ago. At least the president's is a valid state document.

C'mon, Donald. You're supposed to be the guy who knows all the angles and is on top of his game. That hospital paper is just a social birth announcement, not an official certificate.

I guess only birthers are confused by this simple distinction.

At 2:12, Polland claims that the COLB is forged because it doesn't state that it was amended. The reason it should state it was amended is because Obama was not born in Hawaii. Polland does not back that up.

He's making a circular argument which presupposed its own conclusion. He's claiming that the Department of Health is lying, and that Factcheck is in on the forgery, and that the COLB is a forgery.

It makes absolutely no sense if you think about it for half a second. If the DoH was an active participant in a conspiracy, as Polland claims, why would the COLB be anything other than authentic? They would have access to the forms, the seals, and everything. Photoshopping anything would be absolutely unnecessary!

I really have much better things to do than to watch videos of the ravings of a lunatic to debunk his ridiculous claims when he has already been completely debunked by somebody with actual credentials in digital image analysis.

Except the document is not an official New York City birth certificate, but rather a document
generated by Jamaica Hospital, where Trump’s mother Mary reportedly gave birth in June
1946. Official birth certificates are issued (and maintained) by the New York City Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene’s Office of Vital Records.

So, what is Trump trying to conceal?

What goes around comes around. After spending the last week casting doubt on the nature of Obama's birth certificate Donald Trump may have some birther issues of his own.
Turns out the birth certificate he 'released exclusively' to Newsmax earlier this week is not the actual thing.
Ben Smith at Politico reports that what Trump provided was a hospital "'certificate of birth' meaning the piece of paper the hospital gave to his family saying he was born. Such a document typically has the signature of the hospital administrator and the attending physician."
Apparently an actual birth certificate would would have the Dept. of Health's seal as well a signature of the city registrar.
Oops.


The Birth Certificate Donald Trump Produced Is Not An Official Document
