A lot of people seems to be confused on what, “transparency” is. What it really means and people don’t understand, how transparency in politics is important. When Donald Trump started doing this, people thought what he was doing was bad, when in reality, it was a good and positive thing he was doing. Trump was never threatening, and he didn’t accuse Obama of anything. He wasn’t bashing or hating. He just wanted Obama to be more transparent. Whether he was born in the USA or not, he should have been more transparent by showing his records publicly. As you can see, Obama chooses not to. He continues to be least transparent to this day, like he has always been.

So what does “transparency” in politics really mean? Straight from the wikipedia:

“In politics, transparency is used as a means of holding public officials accountable and fighting corruption. When a government’s meetings are open to the press and the public, its budgets may be reviewed by anyone, and its laws and decisions are open to discussion, it is seen as transparent, and there is less opportunity for the authorities to abuse the system for their own interests.”

My explanation as a way to show you that I understand what it really means.

It means that a politician needs to be more open and honest. Make private documents and information public, releasing budgets, private meetings, etc. to the public. A politician must not keep things secretive. That way the public can get a clear understanding of who a politician is and if they see that they are legit, that are capable of doing their jobs. Making sure they are real. An open government.

Most presidents and other candidates from the past have been transparent. They were willing to show private things publicly. Maybe not college transcripts and passports, but other presidents and candidates have been transparent on most things. Obama, however, is a different story. Not only that Obama wasn’t transparent on his college records and passports. His actual birthplace. He has been least transparent on many other things. 1) Obamacare 2) Fast & Furious 3) The White House vistors log 4) Protection for whistleblowers 5) His connection with Bill Ayers, need I go on? Do a research on Obama’s transparency record and you would see, it’s pretty long. He promised us years ago that he would be transparent, but is he? Hell freaking, NO!

This is why Donald Trump, called him out. It wasn’t really about whether or not Obama was born from Kenya or the USA. He just wanted Obama to be more “open” aka, “Transparent”. Obama continues to be least transparent like he promised. You see why Donald Trump, did what he did? Or are you all going to get out of your way and call him a selfish egomaniac, asshole. He just wanted Obama to be more transparent, for a good cause. Yet, Obama has chosen to ignore Trump.

I fail to see what Trump was doing was a bad thing? Look at reality people, and get informed. It might do you some good.
