Now that he has raised questions about Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) Canadian birth and American citizenship, Donald Trump has started playing Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" before campaign rallies, according to reports in The Weekly Standard and the Texas Tribune.
The introduction of the song may be an attempt by the real estate mogul to troll Cruz as many openly wonder whether he is eligible to run for president.
Cruz was born in Canada, but his mother was an American citizen, earning Cruz citizenship in the United States at birth. The Texas senator has repeatedly said that he is eligible to run for president.

It’s really more about what the title of the song implies. You know, Trump is the only viable candidate born in the USA. Been awhile since a POTUS has been, I’d like to see it again.
“Bruce will be along any minute now to put a stop to that. “
He cant. All he can do is whine. Guaranteed that Trump paid the licensing fee and Bruce got paid.
Cruz should play “You’re So Vain” with video clips of DT on a big screen.
Trump doesn’t want to address substance.
Hopefully, Trump was wise enough to write the check first. Everyone knows Bruce Springsteen is one of the Useful Tools and Fools of the left, like Stevie Wonder and Carly Simon have become.
Ditto that....
LOLOL!!! Love it!!!!
And when the primaries are over the winner can hire Jame Taylor to sing You’ve Got A Friend to the mend fences with the loser before the general gets into gear.
“Regardless, these people need to listen to lyrics before they just play songs in order to convey a message.”
You might be overthinking it. They typically play just the hook of the song, and not the whole thing. Or even just the music sans words.
Sean Hannity plays that lame independence day song every day about some woman burning her husband to death. But he just uses the line about “letting freedom ring”.....
If the venue or Trump’s (or anyone’s) campaign has paid for an ASCAP or BMI license, they can play any damn song they please.
Okay, Cruz supporters...just joking around....don't go postal.
no it was not
Really? Is Trump an adult or is he a 5-year-old. Instead of having logical and mature discussions about problems he holds rallies to discredit Cruz and uses an anti-American song to prove how American he is compared to Cruz. That’s disgusting and puerile. Sounds like something Obama would do.
Yep, and Trump knows the best way to vet his future VP pick is to go on MSM TV shows telling the whole world that you think he is not eligible for that same job, but you hope that you are wrong and are rooting for him, just before a critical primary.
Trump has a heart of Gold being so defensive of Cruz.
And his being worried about the GOP if things didn't work out for them. .
Bad move, Trump.
That’s a leftist song written by a leftist jackass.
I kinda’ hate that song because of the so-called “artist” that sang it.
Vietnam War was stupid.
How can Cruz claim to be a Natural Born Citizen of the USA, when he openly renounced his equally legal status of dual Canadian citizenship in 2014?
It is impossible for a USA natural born citizen to have dual citizenship. Period!
DUH!
“Sean Hannity plays that lame independence day song every day about some woman burning her husband to death. But he just uses the line about “letting freedom ringâ€....”
Glad that I don’t listen to Hannity, then. That’s just plain bizarre.

Sorry the LAST seven years have been HELL!!!
