The Slippery Slope

It has been a long standing policy of the United States to not negotiate with terrorists. While we cannot imagine the unthinkable decisions the President has to make in times of crisis, I'm sure that this policy has not been broken and the President firmly believes in this policy.

Or does he?

Consider this train of thought for a minute. Donald Trump has been criticizing (harassing or whatever  else you want to call it) the President recently for not adequately proving his citizenship. In a sense, Trump has been a "terrorist" to the Obama administration. Early this morning, Obama finally gave in and published his long-form certificate of live birth. Is this not a form of negotiating with terrorists?

You decide. It's a slippery slope...

Really, the only thing that terrorizes regular folks about Trump is his hair. The question to me is why did it take someone like Trump to draw out something that should have been made public years ago. Not to mention that Obama spend upwards of a million dollars in legal representation to quash attempts by various organizations and individuals to force him to produce it.

That's a million of taxpayer money, BTW.

I would call him more of a bully.

A terrorist is the term reserved for those who use fear to achieve their own political agendas. Trump was really just being an asshole. And for what? Personally, I'm waiting for his theories that's it's fake.

And when your citizenship is in question, the only way to shut up the haters is to shove your birth certificate down their throats.
