Trump won’t talk about being a birther — or many other controversial comments

Donald Trump was the mainstream face of a fringe movement five years ago that questioned Barack Obama’s place of birth and qualifications for office, eventually prompting the president to release a long-form certificate proving his birth in Hawaii.
Trump has never apologized, recanted his charges or even admitted error. Instead, he tries not to discuss it.

“I don’t talk about it because if I talk about that, your whole thing will be about that,” Trump told reporters aboard his plane on Labor Day. “So I don’t talk about it.”

This is a persistent pattern for the stubbornly unapologetic Republican nominee.

Judging by his own words, the Republican nominee apparently still believes that prisoners of war such as Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) are not heroes; that a federal judge of Mexican heritage is unable to fairly rule in a civil case involving Trump University; that the Muslim American father of a fallen soldier has “no right” to question him; that former president George W. Bush should be blamed for the 9/11 terrorist attacks; that foreign Muslims must be barred from entering the country until officials “figure out what is going on”; and that the father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) might have been involved in the murder of President John F. Kennedy.

A rare story that actually notes that Trump really has not be held to account for some of his most crazy and outrageous positions. Instead, he just deems it off-limits, and most of the time, the MSM just follows along.
