In an April 15 editorial, Washington Times editorial page editor Brett Decker wrote that Donald Trump has “gotten immense support for criticizing President Obama for his mysteriously missing birth certificate, an issue most Americans are talking about but which is considered taboo by the liberal establishment.”
From Decker's column:
The Donald's popularity isn't an accident. Americans dissatisfied with lackluster leadership during a long economic crisis are responding to a man who talks straight and says what needs to be said. Such candor isn't the virtue of a career politician whose every word is tightly scripted based on persistent polling. Refreshingly, Mr. Trump just hangs it all out there. For example, he's gotten immense support for criticizing President Obama for his mysteriously missing birth certificate, an issue most Americans are talking about but which is considered taboo by the liberal establishment. He's taken similarly bold stands to the right on taxes, pro-life issues, gun rights, trade, China bashing and even ripping Jimmy Carter, the biggest loser to ever inhabit the White House.
