Now that he has raised questions about Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) Canadian birth and American citizenship, Donald Trump has started playing Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” before campaign rallies, according to reports in The Weekly Standard and the Texas Tribune.
The introduction of the song may be an attempt by the real estate mogul to troll Cruz as many openly wonder whether he is eligible to run for president.
Cruz was born in Canada, but his mother was an American citizen, earning Cruz citizenship in the United States at birth. The Texas senator has repeatedly said that he is eligible to run for president.
But as Trump continues to prod Cruz on his eligibility, numerous politicians have noted that the senator’s citizenship is worth looking into.
Bruce is not going to like this
Whatever else you say about El’Rumpo…he knows how to twist the knife. I think this is going to get far more amusing before we’re done with it.
I thought Trump was familiar with how lawsuits work.
Complaint from Springsteen about yet another Republican appropriating a musicians intellectual property for self promotion (while missing the actual meaning of the music) on the campaign trail in 3, 2, 1…
How long before Bruce issues a cease and desist order? By the way hasn’t Trump be told by another musician not to use his music at his events?
