Trump: The 14th Amendment Won’t Hold Up In Court

[Moonwalk]

67. I don't think he's saying that this constitutional amendment is unconstitutional....

...he's boasting that it won't cover anchor babies. He thinks that SOMEHOW the Supreme Court would agree that the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to anchor babies. Unfortunately for him, whatever the 14th intent (i.e. to give freed slaves citizenship), the courts have to judge on what the amendment *says* and it says that if one is BORN in the U.S., then one is a U.S. citizen. It doesn't stipulate that one's parents must be citizens legal or otherwise.

However, Trump is nothing if not world class scam artist, and he's doing a very good job of promising the moon to the gullible. "Vote for me," he says, "i know how to get around these pesky laws that are keeping those you hate in your country."

But I'm doubtful that he really wants to be president, especially if it means he might have to put-up or shut-up. I think he just wants to make some really good deals with the Republicans in exchange for urging his supporters to vote for the GOP nominee. After all, given their rich backers and control of congress, the GOP could pay out a lot to him for his supporters.

Till then, he'll do his best to convince right-wingers he can give them everything and anything, so that he ends up with a huge bargaining chip when nomination time rolls around.
