1. “Just shows that you can have all the cards and lose if you don’t know what you’re doing.”

2. “Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault.”

3. “An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud.”
In March of 2014, Trump again revived the claim he had first made years earlier that President Obama was born in Kenya and not eligible for the office. It’s worth noting that this assertion was false and baseless.
