Obama “Jokes” About Birther Conspiracy (VIDEO)

Former President Obama is mocking the “birther” conspiracy theory about him touted for years by President Trump, joking that he was “able to get away with” not being born in the United States.

The 44th president, who was born in Hawaii, is set to appear Monday night on “The Daily Show” to promote his new book, “A Promised Land.”

In a preview clip from the interview with Trevor Noah, the Comedy Central host cracked that Obama’s comical roasts of public figures have led them to make White House bids.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but you have an ability to inspire people to run for the highest office in the land with some of the jokes you tell about them,” Noah told a grinning Obama.

Some pundits have theorized that Obama’s biting remarks at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner about Trump, who was a guest there, might have helped motivate the then-real estate developer to run for office.
