  This is the first time in my life that I have caused controversy by NOT saying something . — Donald J. Trump ( @ realDonaldTrump ) September 19 , 2015
  If someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president , do you really think he would come to my rescue ? No chance ! — Donald J. Trump ( @ realDonaldTrump ) September 19 , 2015
  If I would have challenged the man , the media would have accused me of interfering with that man ’ s right of free speech . A no win situation ! — Donald J. Trump ( @ realDonaldTrump ) September 19 , 2015
  Christians need support in our country ( and around the world ) , their religious liberty is at stake ! Obama has been horrible , I will be great — Donald J. Trump ( @ realDonaldTrump ) September 19 , 2015
  After a questioner at an open forum Trump held Thursday attacked President Obama for being a Muslim , our utterly useless and out-of-touch media ginned up a non-troversy over the fact that Trump blew the guy off . According to our Obama-loving media , Trump was obligated to tell tell the guy off and vouch for the president ’ s patriotism and Christian faith .
  The media also believe that Trump is responsible for a supporter misled by Hillary Clinton . For it was Hillary Clinton who planted the first seeds of the Birther/Obama-Is-A-Muslim conspiracy back in 2008 .
  Not only is our Islamophobic media acting like being misidentified as a Muslim is a slur , what everyone ’ s forgetting is that Obama might be a much better man were he in fact a Muslim . If nothing else , Obama would not have spent 20 years in Jeremiah Wright ’ s creepy , racist Christian church .
  To protect Obama , the media ignores the homeless , the unemployed , the under-employed , the EPA disaster in Colorado , the men who died and risked their lives for Obama ’ s precious “ hero ” Bowe Bergdahl …
  …And now the media ’ s Obama protection racket is so overblown they demand Republicans defend Obama from rumors started by Hillary Clinton .

  This is a documented fact.
  
  Not only is our Islamophobic media acting like being misidentified as a Muslim is a slur, what everyone’s forgetting is that Obama might be a much better man were he in fact a Muslim. If nothing else, Obama would not have spent 20 years in Jeremiah Wright’s creepy, racist Christian church.
