Republican
presidential frontrunner Donald Trump refused to say whether he believes
President Obama was born in the U.S. only a day after he defended himself for
appearing to allow an audience member at a town hall last week get away with
saying the president was born elsewhere and is a Muslim.
"I
talk about jobs, I'm talking about the military -- I don't get into it,” Trump
said on ABC's “This Week” Sunday. “They ask that question and I just want to
talk about the things because it's of no longer interest to me. We're beyond
that and it's just something I don't talk about.”
Long
before the real estate mogul’s official presidential aspirations, he was a
leading voice among the “birther” movement, which not only questioned the
president’s nationality and religion, but also called upon him to present his
birth certificate to prove he was American. Obama released his long-form birth
certificate in 2011 in response to the uproar.
