Former American President, Barack
Obama cracked a joke on Tuesday night at the expense of President Donald Trump
and other conspiracy theorists who claimed he wasn’t born in the United
States. Thus, at the first Obama Foundation Summit held in Chicago where he worked as a community organizer in the 1980s, said;
“The reason I’m so
excited to see you all here today in part is because this is where I started.” Thus, he added; “Now, this isn’t where
I was born, I was born in Kenya,” he said to laughs, then added: “That’s a
joke.”
Obama was actually born
in Hawaii in 1961 and has released both his “short-form” and “long-form” birth
certificates to prove it. Two Honolulu newspapers also printed birth
announcements at the time.
After pushing the
birther conspiracy theory for years, Trump eventually admitted that Obama was
indeed born in the United States. However, he has never apologized for
spreading that falsehood.
