'He wasn't born here': Trump announces Joe Biden birther theory at rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania

August 20, 2020
By David Edwards

President Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that his rival Joe Biden was not born where the facts say he was born.

Trump made the remarks while holding a rally in Biden’s birthplace, Scranton, Pennsylvania.

“You know, he left like 70 years ago,” Trump told supporters in Scranton. “He wasn’t born — I view it differently. He’d say he was born here. But he left when he was like 8, 9 or 10. So he left 68 years ago, he left. Long time ago. So I view it differently. He wasn’t born here. He abandoned Scranton!”

Watch the video below from Fox News.

Then we get the movies, rock operas, comedic renditions to laugh at for hundreds of years.

In the year 2476 audiences will laugh themselves sick with "Springtime for Donnie".

It will be especially funny in Swahili, Vietnamese and Danish.

thinks he has something.

It just means Joe Biden will tell why his family left Delaware for Scranton.

Fucker Puppet is rabid Desperate.

And then he left when he was 8!

Abandoned Scranton... walked right out all on his own!

There are probably Scrantonite Trumpers who are nodding and furious at Biden.

I can't imagine a more insignificant person than this dipshit. He can't even come up with a single reason for anyone to vote for him. It's just this lame gobbledygook all the time. Enough !

Sounds like Spanky's unhappy that he can't claim Biden was born in Kenya or some other "shithole" country.

His parents moved when he was a kid--yet he gets applause for these ridiculous statements.

Because his parents moved away from one US town to another when he was an 8-year-old child! WTF does he hope to gain by this? It's so stupid, it's almost funny.

He is such a miserable, hateful, evil, stupid POS. I just hope and pray every day that something strikes him dead. I don't care if he doesn't go to prison first. I just want him gone from the face of the earth.

..It will be seen as a lie, like all the other lies. Perhaps it worked before, but this will not work now.
All it will do is highlight ...."Donald Trump The Liar Show"...that should have been cancelled long ago, because the show has been on ....too long....!!!!

Fact: Biden was born in Scranton.

People in Scranton actually LIKE the fact that Biden is from Scranton and proudly mentions it. They wouldn't want their day in the limelight taken away. Utterly stupid Trump.

He got zero votes from saying it and probably lost thousands.

Don't you end up wherever your parents end up? Did Joe have a vote on the move?

This is so effin' ridiculous.

I'd be surprised if Melanie will have anything to do with him off camera. Once he is out of office, his cadre of sycophants will abandon him like the plague. Things are looking grim for Dainty Digits, and has only his filthy, nasty, dirty hate to comfort him.
