THE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE HITS AT BARACK OBAMA
President Trump was questioned by journalists with regards to Mrs. Obama's assertion that she would never forgive him for his part in the "birther" conspiracy
This was an insinuation, later repeated by Trump that Barack Obama had not been born in the USA, and questioning the validity of his birth certificate and passport.
"DONALD TRUMP (…) WAS PUTTING MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AT RISK. AND FOR THIS I'D NEVER FORGIVE HIM."
The former first lady explained that Trump's declarations with regard to her husband's origins might have set off violent fanatics, and might have even triggered an attack on her daughters.
