Trump Pranks The Media So Hard They Are FURIOUS... This Is Why We Love Trump On Friday, Donald Trump completely played the media when he announced he was going to spend a lot of time talking about whether or not Obama was truly born in America. The liberal media was very excited about the announcement, and were ready to use footage to make Trump look crazy. Thats when Trump turned everything around. We just got played, Jake Tapper commented. We just got played. The majority of the speech was veterans endorsing Trump and his vision for America. Trump then commented that these veterans were not the deplorables Hillary Clinton thinks they are. Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2007 started the birther controversy; I finished it, Trump commented. President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again. Trump then left the stage without taking any questions. What do you think of Trumps move?
