trumpâs British nationality is not idiocy. It IS idiotic to think that his possible dual nationality has anything to do with American law or his eligibility to be president. Just as itâs idiocy to think the same in the case of Sen. Cruz.
I quite agree with you about the idiocy of dual nationality concerning Donald Trump. But I am not the one who introduced the subject. Trump is not, and never has been a British subject,nor was his mother after March 10, 1942 when she was naturalized. As Britain was involved in a war and allied with us at the time, I don't think Britain cared one whit about it. In fact after the war, the status of many British subjects was changed by various citizenship acts concerning various colonies in the British Commonwealth.
Of course, the greater idiocy is Republicans voting for a faux conservative like trump.
I know Trump is not a conservative. In fact, most of the GOP is not conservative. But he will build a wall, deport illegals, defend the Second Amendment, lower taxes, and bring back jobs to America. He has also taken on the media and the Clintons.That is in-line with conservative ideals enough for my vote.
My note on the word dominion was just to notice the fact that your historical knowledge was many, many decades out of date. You need textbooks printed after 1930.
The Canadian Citizenship Act of 1946 decoupled Canada from Britain concerning citizenship. So I concede I was off a few decades with my example concerning Cruz. I have no trouble admitting I was wrong.
However, the same Act clearly gave Canadian citizenship to Ted Cruz. Whereas Trump was not born with dual nationality, Cruz clearly was.
It is not idiocy to inquire as to trump’s dual citizenship. The question is not clear. But it is idiocy to care whether he is a dual national. The same with Sen. Cruz. Even if they are dual nationals, they are still eligible to be president.
Only stupid people or evil propel bring it up as an independent issue. Which is trump?
As to his campaign promises, he shows little understanding of the workings of government, except as the dispenser of favors to corrupt crony capitalists, so I’m inclined not to believe those dealing with how government works.
