After his persistent and relentless attack on Obama's birth place validity, surely it is the height of hypocrisy for Trump to complain about an anti-POTUS witch hunt.

What did he say about Obama's birth place validity?
Don't make me read through all that. I'm too tired. I got as far as //In recent months, [advisers] say, Mr. Trump has used closed-door conversations to question the authenticity of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate//, and some rambling on wiki - no mention of Trump gossiping as far as I can tell - but who are 'advisers' in the other link - and if the conversations were 'closed door', who spilled the beans? Snopes, as far as my tired eyes will allow me to examine, doesn't mention Trump. Is Canary absolutely sure we should be talking about Trump here?
You're right of course, Naomi.
Now go and get some rest, tomorrow is a new day and there's so much fake news to battle.

Got the blinkers on again Naomi ? None so blind as those who will not see.

Do some research on who it was that started the birther rumours.

It was not Clinton although Trump claimed it was.
Who was it Canary?
// What did he say about Obama's birth place validity?//

that the birth certificate that showed that Obama was born in Amerikee was a forgery or his brother's
that therefore he was not a US ciizen
and had no right to stand for election as Pres

I dont think he has recanted - I think he just goes on stating it ...

How can one tell if the president is telling the truth?
he says the opposite the day after

It's long & complicated. Looks like the Clinton bunch might have started the rumor.

Here's a paragraph about Trump, late in the game:

Thanks, Douglas. I learned a new word, birtherism.
The big shovel is barely enough these days. Need one of these:

O sleep! O gentle sleep!
Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
The Birther conspiracy was Trump's favourite topic for years. Hard to miss it.

Here are some easy-to-read tweets:

https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/246272201710518272

All from 2012, but it was only in his 2016 campaign that he finally disassociated himself from the conspiracy.

As to the rumours that Hillary Clinton started it -- totally false.
Who started it, Jim?
Some of her "supporters", most likely.

he seems happy to tark about it
I made him produce his birth certificate .....
One of her aides but of Course Hillary knew nothing about it and did everything in her power to crush the rumour... He says laughing.
In fact, as the wiki article makes clear, the rumours had circulated (most likely due to early internet trolling) as early as 2004, long before Clinton could have had anything to do with it. Implicating her personally, or any of her aides, in the lies about Obama's birthplace is completely erroneous.
