Trump then scoffed at Obama's conduct. | + | On June 16, 2015, he declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the [[2016 presidential election]].<ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/16/trump-announces-white-house-bid-joins-crowded-gop-field/ "Trump announces White House bid, joins crowded GOP field"] (June 16, 2015).

Meanwhile Trump eats pizza with a fork! That's not New York at all and there is proof that Donald Trump was born in Canada to Chinese parents.
