Donald Trump could never be considered a viable candidate for any government office let alone the presidency. Regardless of how good he may be with numbers, his positions on the country and economy and whatever the hell his qualifications may be, with so much of his personal business and especially his sex life as public record he'd never pass the (impossible) morality test.
I'm thinking he did Obama and himself a huge favor in playing into the freakshow, illustrating the absurdity of it all and subsequently deflating the birther movements sails while reinvigorating his brand with a heaping dose of nationwide scandal.
If you can look past the manipulation of the public and the timing of this with the OBL murder-mystery as something (anything!) more than an attempt to distract and drum up faith in a gov't that's becoming increasingly difficult to believe in then this situation really was very well played by all.
