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.

Bruce will be along any minute now to put a stop to that. Niel Young will probably chime in too.

Trump says he is ‘rooting’ for Cruz to be natural born.
He says he likes him.
Like a younger brother.

Again, it’s a stupid choice. The song has nothing to do with being born in the US. It is about criticizing the Vietnam War years after it ended. It’s not a patriotic song.

Bruce will be along any minute now to put a stop to that. Not if he's been paid enough he won't.

And Trump isn’t the first Presidential candidate to play it a rally. Not by a long shot.

Mayhap he wants to ask Cruz to be his VP and wants to make sure he is eligible.

perhaps. I’ll be shocked if he lets it go on though. Getting these old hippes to complain about their songs being used inapprpriately is like a republican rite of passage.

I heard Reagan also played it. (I have no clue). Regardless, these people need to listen to lyrics before they just play songs in order to convey a message. The song came out before I was born and even I know it’s meaning.
