I feel like a lot of opinion writers don’t get that the #Girther thing is tongue in cheek.
Like, he’s is almost certainly fudging is weight and height, which is only relevant because 1) lots of people hate him and 2) it’s a relatively beningn lie that is emblematic of his entire presidency’s one true constant: that everybody who works for Trumo, will eventually go up onto the national stage, lie for a man with no loyalty, and burn their credibility and reputation in the process.
Trumps very first official act was to order one of his underlings to go make a bunch of bullshit on camera over some mundane, irrelevant details, and it’s humorous that he just keeps doing it.
But for some reason there’s been like multiple articles decrying the furthers and comparing them to birthers. It seems really beside the point. It’s like take people from the Jedi Church or the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and comparing their “deeply held beliefs” to major religions and claiming that both were equally ridiculous.
It sort of misses the point of the whole thing.
