Sounds like Trump got his lawyers from watching late night TV commercials. Unfortunately we are stuck with a very commie, progressive as they were called back then, 14th amendment that was questionably ratified antebellum. The purpose was to create a kingdom class of citizenship that never existed and thus give us civil rights — not the original God given ones. Once the courts, gov, or any one says they give out the rights it is all over. Civil rights do not coexist with God given ones.
Legally, it's a trickier argument to make than some are realizing. A lot of people are arguing for the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" approach, and advocate looking to whether or not the parents are citizens/subjects of a foreign country. The problem with this approach is that it would also exclude the children of legal resident aliens, which would run headlong into more than a century of that being accepted and completely non-controversial. Plus, perhaps political suicide.
My guess is that the SG was trying to get around the issue of saying that the children of legal aliens should not get citizenship, and that's why he focused on "reside" and "domiciled".

The Republic cannot bestow or withdraw “original God given” rights. It can and ought to ensure civil rights.
