Promotes "Israeli Science" article claiming Obama birth certificate is fake
Trump tweeted: "Wake Up America! See article: 'Israeli Science: Obama Birth Certificate is a Fake'." This was part of his sustained campaign to delegitimize President Obama's citizenship, sharing a fringe article that purported to use scientific analysis to prove the document was fraudulent. The tweet exemplified his role as the primary amplifier of the "birther" conspiracy theory during the 2012 election cycle.
