So his parents smuggled him into the US and involved public officials
in a vast fraudulent conspiracy including false newspaper
announcements in order to get him elected President of the United
States nearly fifty years later as if that is a sure thing. The hole
in this theory is so large that I could drive a vintage White
Freightliner through it without taking my foot off the floor.

Of course, they could have just moved to Hawaii just before the birth
and skipped the whole thing presuming of course that he is going to
become President and that's one big-assed assumption.

Nevertheless, false-certainty is amusing until it becomes virulent.
