What sorcery is this?

And then, there’s Donald Trump, back in 2012, preaching revolution because Obama won reelection.

Donald Trump Freaks Out on Twitter After Obama Wins Election

Shortly after President Barack Obama was announced the winner of the 2012 election, Donald Trump had what some might call a melodramatic freak out on Twitter. He condemned America’s democratic process, said the Electoral College should get out of town and called for a revolution.

But Trump is still OK with the concept of freedom of speech and told the Twitterverse just how he felt.

He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!

The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

More votes equals a loss…revolution!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

Our country is now in serious and unprecedentedtrouble…like never before.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

Don’t worry all hope isn’t lost though, Trump still has faith in the Republican controlled House of Representatives to carry the country, but of course only if it’s on Trump’s own terms. But no word yet if the House of Reps even know who the fanatic guy on Twitter is.

Hopefully the House of Representatives can hold our country together for four more years…stay strong and never give up!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

House of Representatives shouldn’t give anything to Obama unless he terminates Obamacare.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

Do you think Trump is going to pack up and head to Canada now?

Who was following Trump on twitter in 2012?

So that excuses his meltdown? That excuses his racist crusade against Obama beginning in 2011, cuz he didn’t have as many twitter followers as he does now? That’s when he started his hysterical bullshit about Obama’s place of birth, and his college degree, and his supposedly sinister background, because electing the first black president simply could not stand in his eyes, and in the eyes of the alt-right which was yet to get their time in the sun.

To disagree with Obama is not being racist.

That’s a straw man. No one ever said it was, bnw. But it is racist to rant and rave about him not being born here, and demand for proof that he was. It is racist to ask for his papers, and endlessly question how he got into college, thrived there, was editor of the Harvard Review, taught Constitutional law for twelve years, etc. etc. It is racist to discriminate against blacks in his own rental properties. It is racist to launch a campaign against the “Central Park Five” and to still say they were guilty after being proven innocent.

I’m one of the Central Park Five. Donald Trump won’t leave me alone. The Republican candidate’s antics have filled me with fear.

The list goes on and on and on. But his supporters are still in denial about all of that, and that in no way surprises me.

Then tell Obama not to say he was born in Kenya. Tell his Kenyan relatives too.

He didn’t. He’s always said he was born in Hawaii. Which he was.

What do you think, personally, bnw? Do you think he was born overseas and shouldn’t have been president because of that?

Not true. His own book bio said he was born in Kenya.

And then his wife.

No, bnw, his own book never said that. If you follow your own links, and go to Snopes, it talks about a mistake on a PR pamphlet, not in his book. The person responsible for the mistake said they made that error. And Obama has never claimed to be born anywhere but Hawaii. Never. Not once. Ever.

You will also note, if you follow your own link, that even Breitbart said they didn’t believe he was born anywhere but Hawaii.

As for Michele’s comment? His father was born in Kenya. A lot of African-Americans talk about their African origins and proudly claim them as their homeland. Children of recent immigrants from Italy, Ireland, Germany, etc. etc. also do this. It’s very, very common.

So, again, do you, personally, believe Obama lied about his place of birth? Don’t resort to other nutcase websites, please. Just voice your own opinion.
