First it was President Barack Obama. Then it was Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Now, Donald Trump isn't sure whether Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is eligible to be president.
Rubio was born in Miami to immigrant parents. He is eligible to be president.
In an interview on ABC's "This Week" Sunday morning, Trump played down the importance of his tweet -- but he left hanging in the air doubts about Rubio.
"It was a retweet. ... I'm not really that familiar with Marco's circumstances," Trump said.
"I mean, let people make their own determination," he added.
Host George Stephanopoulos followed up, asking whether he really wasn't sure about Rubio's eligibility.
"I don't know. I really -- I've never looked at it, George. I honestly have never looked at it," Trump replied. "As somebody said, he's not. And I retweeted it. I have 14 million people between Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and I retweet things and we start dialogue and it's very interesting."

I think we have a pattern here... Truth means nothing to Trump.... saying anything to win does...
Trump is an idiot. A true RINO.
He would have to move to the right to be a RINO.
It's an issue that should have been tackled eight years ago. As usual, establishment Republicans were derelict to address an obvious responsibility.
You don't say 'no' to The Donald without incurring his wrath.
Not an idiot. Ted the Canadian label stuck in people’s minds.
Trump is looking for a way to bring Rubio down.
People underestimate how good he is - look at where “low energy” Jeb is now.
Gone.
His inner used car salesman coming out again. OTOH his sheep don’t realize they are being hustled on a whole host of issues by the man with no core.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British Subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
True can’t discuss the issues go below the belt.
Conspiracy? The facts are agreed, unlike with Obama, where there was allegation of conspiracy to hide the facts.
Trump isnt a nbc. He’s an anchor baby too. His mother wasn’t a citzen!
Its so easy to play the birther game
Today on all the talk shows the Donald was talking up Cruz and Rubio like he said he can change into anything.
I guess he feels I’ll soon forget all the vitriol he threw at Cruz and I’ll forget by November.
I think all the dropouts will collate behind Rubio.
The Convention will be a nightmare and Trump runs 3rd party.
Some conspiracy, nether of rubio’s parents were American citizens at the time of his birth. Now we have candidates born in foreign country to a non-American father and another that was born here to foreigners. What’s next a candidate born in foreign country to a non-American parents? Are there any restrictions left to be POTUS?
He’s an “idiot” with more than five time as many delegates as your “genius” Canadian.
You lefties are really scared!
Truth is relative to liberals - what you feel should be true is the truth...his "feelings" have apparently changed.
“Rubio was born in Miami to immigrant parents. He is eligible to be President”. Not quite. He’s eligible if his parents were American citizens, however.
For the record, Trump's mother was a citizen at the time of his birth, his father was a nbc, and he was born in the USA. As for Trump questioning Obama, so have many of us here mainly because Obama has been hiding his bc.
LOLOL true!
