Returning to his roots, Trump promotes Harris’ birth certificate
Common sense suggests Donald Trump should steer clear of even passing references to birth certificates, but evidently, he can’t seem to help himself.

Trump has spent much of the week questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial and ethnic identity, suggesting the nation’s first Black vice president might not be Black enough by his standards. But as a New York Times report noted, the Republican nominee went even further yesterday.
Yes, the conspiracy theorist who helped pioneer the racist “birther” attacks against Barack Obama — several years before he came down the escalator and took over GOP politics — has decided, more than a decade later, to once again take an interest in another Black candidate’s birth certificate.Mr. Trump also amplified posts from Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist, who had posted copies of Ms. Harris’s birth certificate and had spread false accusations that Ms. Harris has lied about her race.
As Off Message's Brian Beutler argued, this is less like 2016 and more like what voters would've heard "if Trump had challenged Obama in 2012 as a birtherism dead-ender."
The Washington Post asked Loomer yesterday whether she's the one who brought this line of attack to Trump’s attention. “Probably,” the right-wing personality replied, noting that she’d shared the image with the former president.
Common sense suggests Trump, given his ridiculous antics targeting Obama's background, should steer clear of even passing references to birth certificates, but evidently, he can’t seem to help himself
