Trump Goes Birther, Again

isn't that what he said about Obama too?

The problem is he only says this about people who aren't white. Like when he suggested AOC go back where she came from (the same city he is from).

That's also not quite what he said in the quote I cited in the op.

Trump...told reporters Thursday that he heard a "highly qualified, very talented lawyer" opine that Harris didn't qualify to serve as vice president but did not know if it were true or not.

That is a lot more nefarious than the "innocent" comment G was pushing.

Trump has made the argument that birthright citizenship is NOT a Constitutional concept and has threatened to seek legislation to revoke it.
So the argument is there and valid. It doesn't seem to apply to Sen. Harris. But everything isn't about race.

It most certainly is with Trump. He has a disdain for anyone who is not pure white. He's been telling us for over 5 years now and actually before that. Quit defending an open racist.

"I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements," Trump said. "I have no idea if that's right. I would have assumed that the Democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for vice president."

that is his ACTUAL quote

please tell me what is wrong with it....

seems like reporters are LOOKING for stories and crap that isnt there

That's BS. Trump has to have the intelligence to know it's a total lie. Even if he doesn't, does he not have aids that can explain it to him? It's an intentional trope to get his sheep talking about it.

unless they are white and born in Switzerland, germany, or some other majorly white country....why would their country of origin EVER come into question?

I understand you all not wanting these questions coming up....

a. some people will question whether or not she is a citizen
b. it again, brings up the whole baby from non citizens being born here questions again

To me....i dont care....she apparently was born in California, and according to our rules....that makes her a citizen

I have often wondered if that is what the framers had in mind though....

But, too big of a problem for me to worry about....i have other crap to deal with

Do you think President of United States has any responsibilities when widely addressing millions of his followers, or he can run his mouth just like any average Joe?


Clearly, if Trump had questions about it but not enough common sense knowledge, he could actually ask a 100 lawyers and other advisors he has around him, but he CHOSE to publicly question it and raise awareness of this yet another fringe nonsense opinion. This suggests he is either too incompetent or did it on purpose, maliciously.

Let's remember the bold. Shall we?



Why doesn't he just come out and say it? "My side thinks brown people are not eligible for the presidency."

Desperate because he knows he's going to lose the election, Trump starts his racist whistling to get his racist bigoted moronic supporters in line like the good sheep he knows them to be.

Well the founders never had any immigration in mind, and definitely not a non-white.

Obviously the gang that cannot count to 14.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States..."

Not much gray there.
 
yeah, that was making the rounds with some of the nuts in my extended family yesterday.


they will literally try anything to promote their Confederate ideals.

So, Trump saying “he has no idea if that’s right” somehow morphs into another birther conspiracy, got it. Reading on in the supplied article he (led) the last birther moment, which is untrue but facts don’t matter I guess. What’s interesting is the tweet from Biden’s senior adviser and the racism angle with “this is what racism looks like” with Trumps statement that he had no idea.
