On the same day that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) announced that he’s running for president, real estate mogul Donald Trump dusted off his old birther rants, suggesting that Cruz may not be eligible to become president.
“He’s got a hurdle that nobody else seems to have at this moment. It’s a hurdle and somebody could certainly look at it very seriously. He was born in Canada,” Trump said in an interview with myfoxny.com, adding that “you’re supposed to be born in this country.”
Trump, who claims to be considering a run for president himself, said he “didn’t know how the courts would rule on it. It’s an additional hurdle that he has that nobody else seems to have.”
Trump led the charge on the debunked view that President Barack Obama wasn’t actually born in the United States and had a fake birth certificate saying he was born in Hawaii.
Cruz has maintained that he is eligible to be president since he was born to an American mother, despite having been born in Calgary, Alberta. He was a dual citizen until 2014 when he renounced his Canadian citizenship.
(H/t: The Hill)
Trump seems to enjoy turning reality into a reality show.
"didn’t know how the courts would rule on it. "
That’s because, as a general truth of the universe, Donald Trump doesn’t know shit from a dildo and runs his mouth before bothering to learn anything. Bloviating moron.
Yeah, but you’ve got to admit that this is delicious.
It would be even deliciouser if he demanded to see Cruz’s grades. The classics never get old, do they?
The Donald is just peeved because the Ted is his equal in obnoxiousness. That’s never happened to him before.
