It took a while for Donald Trump to drop the debunked theory that President Obama was not born in America.

President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period.” The reemergence of the “Birther” story was just one in a crazy week on the presidential campaign trail, which also included Hillary’s pneumonia, Donald on Dr. Oz, the frenzy over polling numbers, and Colin Powell’s email hack.
