Trump: Ted Was a Canadian Citizen ‘Until Just Recently’

TRUMP: “Well, now the great legal scholars, the real legal scholars are saying, Trump is right. OK? Trump is right. (Applause) And you know, and I’m very good when it comes to the law I’ve been through plenty a law — and you know, speaking of law Ted — do we all like Ted Cruz? I like him. I think is a nice guy.”
UNKNOWN FEMALE: “No!”
TRUMP: “No? You don’t like him? All right. Look, he is fine — he’s two face. A lot of people don’t like — a lot of people don’t like him frankly. But look, Ted Cruz has a problem. He’s got a problem. He was born in Canada. He was — he’s a Canadian citizen until just recently — Canadian citizen. And he is running for president. And a lot of lawyers and you’ve been seeing him on television, you’ve been reading about him in the papers, a lot of people are saying he’s not allowed to run for president. Because he wasn’t born on the land — you know natural born citizen. There is a real question as to what that definition is? And some of the best lawyers in the country, some of the biggest lawyers, Laurence Tribe of Harvard and others say it’s unsettled law. It’s totally unsettled. And honestly Ted has a problem. Because how can you have — let’s say you have him as a candidate and he’s running and then you find out you lose in court you don’t have a candidate, all of a sudden. Or let’s say even worse, let’s say he wins and the court say that he’s not allowed to run. I mean, you’ve got to find out. So you go for declaratory judgment, you go into the courts but he actually has to go into the courts. Now I understand he was sued recently, over a last couple of days. In fact I understand there are two lawsuits out there. But there will be more. The Democrats will sue. If they’re going to run again, they are going to sue now. They’ll take their time, but at the right time just as sure as you’re standing here — sorry we couldn’t give you seats it’s too many people sorry about that.”
