DONALD TRUMP TROLLS THE MEDIA, TURNS PHONY “BIRTHER” PRESS CONFERENCE INTO HOTEL INFOMERCIAL

After baiting the entire media into attending the opening of his new Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. by promising to finally address the birther controversy swirling around his campaign, Donald Trump used the opportunity to turn the event into a national informercial for his latest real-estate project. He said only a handful of words about President Barack Obama, briefly acknowledging that he was born in the United States, before leaving the stage. Reporters, who were told it would be a press conference, were not allowed to ask any questions.
