Donald Trump said on Friday that he now believes President Obama was born in the United States. 
On Sunday, a Super PAC strategist supporting the GOP candidate’s campaign had some comments of his own about the president and the birther movement. 
Alex Castellanos appeared on NBC's 'Meet The Press' and asserted that it was Hillary Clinton, not Trump, who began casting aspersions on the president’s birth nation. 
Castellanos also noted, “I think the big question about Obama is not where he was born or his faith. The big question about Obama has been — has he considered himself more of a globalist than an American? There is an otherness to this president, and people have tried to exploit that politically in different ways."
His use of the word "otherness" proved rather confusing for many, and Castellanos later took to Twitter to clarify. 
He wrote, “otherness: not faith or race but his cool detachment, intellectual distance + oblig to global v. US responsibilities.”
