Billionaire presidential hopeful says it’s a protest against immigration.

When you’re Donald Trump, another rescinded corporate partnership is nothing if not an opportunity to galvanize your supposedly growing base of political supporters.

The billionaire real estate mogul, reality-television personality, and Republican presidential hopeful has spent the past week taking Twitter pot-shots at Macy’s after the department store chain severed ties with Trump and his line of menswear amid the uproar over Trump’s recent derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants.

On Monday, Trump — who, last week, gleefully pointed out on Twitter when Macy’s stock had fallen by less than 0.5% — tweeted out a claim that his supporters have been cutting up their Macy’s credit cards “as a protest” against the U.S. government’s stance on immigration....

If he’s so American why does he side with Muslims and think they can’t be criticized?

Trumps mother was foreign born. (Evidently she was a racist)

Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in New York to U.S. citizen parents. He is therefore a “natural born Citizen.” His father, Fred C. Trump, was born on October 11, 1905, in New York, New York. His mother, Mary Anne (Mac Leod) Trump, was born on May 10, 1912, in Stornoway, Scotland. Trumps father was a U.S. citizen when he married Trump’s mother, who at that time had not yet naturalized to be a U.S. citizen. Trump was born in the United States thereafter. Under merger of the husband’s citizenship into that of the wife which was the doctrine existing at the time the Constitution was adopted and under Elg, this makes Trump a “natural born Citizen.”

In 1924, the Congress passed the Married Women’s Act, also known as the Cable Act. This act gave each woman a nationality of her own. Under this act, an alien woman who married a U.S. citizen did not need to file a declaration of intention to become a U.S. citizen. She needed only to file a naturalization petition to become a U.S. citizen. Given their dates of birth, Trump’s parents most probably married after 1924, the year the Cable Act was passed. Hence, Trump’s mother would have had to naturalize on her own to acquire U.S. citizenship. Trump’s mother naturalized to be a U.S. citizen on her own on March 10, 1942, which is over 4 years before Trump was born. Hence, when Trump was born, both his parents were "citizens of the United States." These birth circumstances make Trump a “natural born Citizen.”

Donald Trump Is a “Natural Born Citizen”

Where are all these “concerned conservatives” in off election years? I think we’ve all been here long enough to have seen this game before.

Long dormant accounts from literally a decade (or more) ago suddenly coming to life during election years. It’s a miracle!

I’m no great fan of the Trump, there is no way he’s anything but a “social liberal”. He’s probably all for gay “marriage” and abortion. I’m speaking about the phenomenon of dormant accounts during critical periods of elections though, not Donald Trump.

I’m one of the last to pull the seniority card but this time, in this cycle, I think a moratorium on suddenly lively dormant posters should be considered. At least until after the primaries.

Just my two cents. Nothing personal;bpkepley may be a stand up guy. But sheesh, third time I’ve seen such a phenomenon since at least 2008. Maybe even earlier.

Where are all you guys during years like 2009, and 2013?

I don’t understand the question. So this site is to be taken over as a Trump site? It’s bizarre.

Wonder who we could ask to look up his IP address?

Their posts tell the story, no need for an IP look up....probably wouldn't want to know anyway.

This place is crawling with sleepers.

Has Nordstroms had anything to say in this cat fight? It is a good alternative.

Yes, anyone who doesn’t follow fearless leader Trump must be investigated. Even though there is no proof he is a conaervative. His reality show based on his sham campaign will have the left cracking themselves up about how stupid conservatives are.

Other than his attack on the GOPe approach to immigration and his tenacity forcing Obama to show his (alleged) "long form Birth Certificate", nothing that I can recall.

What have you done?

Billionaire presidential hopeful says it’s a protest against immigration.

I doubt that Trump said that. He may have said that it’s a protest against the invasion of illegal aliens.
