TRUMP FINALLY ADMITS OBAMA IS BORN IN THE US|川普改口 承認歐巴馬美國出生

The US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been questioning the birthplace of the US president Barack Obama for years, implying that he was not born in the US. However, on Sep. 16th, Trump changed his story, acknowledging that President Obama was born in the US, but he also stressed that Hillary Clinton was the person who raised the question. Clinton criticized Trump for spreading rumors. First Lady Michelle Obama also made a comment on the controversy. Donald Trump attended the opening ceremony of his new Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. on Sep. 16th and finally admitted in public that President Obama was born in the US. He also accused his opponent Hillary Clinton of starting the birther controversy. ==DONALD TRUMP, US Republican Presidential Candidate== Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. I finished it; you know what I mean. President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period. Trump's staff stressed that Hillary Clinton first raised the birther controversy when she was running against Obama for the Democratic nomination 8 years ago. However, both the Associated Press and the New York Times said Trump's allegation is unfounded. Hillary Clinton has also denied it. On Sep.16th, while attending a seminar on African American women issues, Clinton refuted Trump's claim, calling it a lie and saying that Trump owes the American public an apology. First Lady Michelle Obama also commented on the issue for the first time when she campaigned for Clinton on Sep. 16th, saying that someone has been questioning her husband's birthplace for the past 8 years. In fact, Obama presented his birth certificate when he ran for re-election in 2011, which shows that he was born in Hawaii on Aug. 4th, 1961. Trump tweeted in 2012 that a reliable source told him that Obama's birth certificate was fake. However, Trump has not touched on this topic during this election, but he did not withdraw his previous claim, either. Trump also started another controversy on the 16th, saying Clinton's bodyguards should disarm and "see what happens". While the comment was a sarcastic response to Clinton's stance on stronger gun control, it was also taken as a hint at her assassination. Clinton's staff condemned Trump for trying to provoke the use of violence among his supporters. TRANSLATED BY：CHRISTINA LIU 美國共和黨總統候選人川普，多年來一直質疑美國總統歐巴馬並非在美國出生，不是真正的美國人。但川普16號改口，承認歐巴馬確實生於美國，但也強調最早質疑歐巴馬出生地的就是希拉蕊。希拉蕊痛批川普說謊，散布謠言，就連第一夫人蜜雪兒也加入戰局。 川普16號出席他華府的飯店落成大會，終於公開承認，美國總統歐巴馬的出生地沒問題，是正港的美國人，更指控質疑歐巴馬國籍的始作俑者就是對手希拉蕊。 ==美國共和黨總統候選人 川普== 希拉蕊柯林頓2008年的競選活動開啟了質疑出生的爭議，我結束了它，我結束了它，知道我的意思嗎。歐巴馬總統是在美國出生，句點。 川普競選陣營強調，希拉蕊8年前跟歐巴馬爭取民主黨總統提名初選時，率先挑起歐巴馬不是在美國出生的議題，但美聯社跟紐約時報都指出，這項說法沒有事實根據，長期以來希拉蕊也一再否認。希拉蕊16號同樣在華府，出席一場非洲裔婦女議題研討會時痛批川普滿嘴謊話，欠美國人民一個道歉。 ==美國民主黨總統候選人 希拉蕊== 我們都知道唐納(川普)是什麼樣的人，過去五年來，他發動質疑出生地的運動，非法化美國第一任非洲裔總統，川普的競選活動就是建立在這個無恥的謊言上。唐納川普欠他(總統)跟美國人民一個道歉。 第一夫人蜜雪兒16號在北維吉尼亞，首次出席希拉蕊競選活動時也加入戰局，儘管沒有提到川普的名字，但蜜雪兒強調過去八年來，有人不斷炒冷飯，質疑她丈夫的出生地點。事實上，歐巴馬2011年競選連任時，就提出了出生證明，顯示他1961年8月4號在夏威夷出生，但川普2012年又在推特上表示，一個極度可信的消息來源表示，歐巴馬的出生證明是假的，但這次選戰期間，川普卻閉口不提，但也拒絕撤回之前的言論。此外，川普16號再挑起另一場爭議，要求希拉蕊身邊的隨扈不要帶槍，看看會是什麼情況，諷刺希拉蕊希望修改美國憲法第二修正案的人民擁槍權，也似乎在暗示希拉蕊可能遭遇不測，希拉蕊陣營痛批川普在鼓勵支持者使用暴力。 記者 靳元慶 報導
