"How many are there really and which one is in the White House?"

For the record, I thought that was funny.

There may be a limit to the general public's stomach for this stuff, but I doubt it. There will never stop being questions, which will likely get progressively more desperate and stupid. No conspiracy theory ever dies. This stuff about Obama is just misdirection (what are we NOT paying attention to!?), and it takes advantage of the less intelligent people among us who are more prone to paranoia, racism, and just a general fear of the unknown. Infer whatever political affiliation makes sense to you, but there are a lot of stupid, easily duped people in the world.

If Trump IS the "carnival barker" I've heard him called, he damned well knows that quote (probably mis-) attributed to PT Barnum about there being a sucker born every minute. I think he's squeezing everything he can get out of it.
