LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Real estate mogul Donald Trump just can’t let go of his birther rants, and he seems to be getting more and more desperate about his misplaced crusade.
Trump led the charge on the view that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States, and questioned the authenticity of the president’s publicly-released copy of his Hawaii birth certificate.
On the same day that Ted Cruz (R-TX) announced that he was running for president, Trump suggested that the Republican senator may not be eligible to become president because he was born in Canada. Cruz , of course, has maintained that he is eligible to be president since he was born to an American mother, despite having been born in Calgary, Alberta. He was a dual citizen until 2014 when he renounced his Canadian citizenship.
Today, Trump launched his latest birther attack against Trevor Noah who, just this week, was named successor to Jon Stewart who would be stepping down as host of the satirical ‘The Daily Show’ sometime this year.
“I need you to show your birth certificate,’ Trump challenged Noah, ‘to prove that you are truly African American.’
Apparently, Trump missed that part of Comedy Central’s announcement and the subsequent media coverage of Noah’s appointment, stating that the biracial comedian is, in fact, from South Africa, born to a South African mom and a German dad.
When informed about Noah’s non-U.S. citizenship, Trump immediately turned his attention back to Miss Japan, Ariana Miyamoto, a half-Japanese and half-African American who will represent her country in the next Miss Universe Beauty Pageant which he owns.
Earlier, Trump had announced that he would disqualify Miss Japan from competing in Miss Universe because of her biracial status.
