Disappeared News

Self-proclaimed birther Donald Trump is now so doubtful of President Obama's birthplace that he's sent a team of his own investigators to Hawaii in hopes of getting to the bottom of the issue.
That's according to Trump himself, who, in an interview with NBC, warned his investigators just might uncover "one of the greatest cons in the history of politics and beyond."

"I have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding," Trump said an interview that aired Thursday Morning.

Asked if he has assigned people specifically to search in Hawaii, Trump said, "Absolutely."

Each day, crowds queue up at the Department of Health to apply for marriage licenses, for example. Most sport t-shirts and flip-flops.  So if you see a bunch of guys dressed in business suits and dark glasses, those might be the Trump operatives lining up to ask for Obama’s birth certificate.

What else can they do?

Will they be making midnight raids on file cabinets or hacking into DOH computer systems? Will they be bribing guards at Kapiolani Hospital for access to their musty archives?

Trump’s effort could be amusing. Why not make the most of it. If anyone spots these special ops around Honolulu, why not keep your camera phone handy and maybe tweet it to the popular hash code #Hawaii so we can all laugh.

Or see if they’ll pay for information. Our budget needs balancing. For a few tens of millions, just pocket change for Trump, maybe a deal could be struck. For $100 a copy, the previously floated proposal, no. For $100 million, why not? Would our legislators change the privacy law for a good deal? Sure they would, it’s only a question of haggling over the price.
