Excerpts:
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump appeared on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer today to talk about the heightened interest in Ted Cruz‘s Canadian birthplace and subsequent citizenship status.
...................................
As for his own opinion, Trump claimed he “doesn’t know” what Cruz’s citizenship status is, but he believes that Cruz needs to go to a federal court and seek a declaratory statement that confirms he is an American .
When Blitzer asked Trump about critics who think he is bringing up Cruz’s birthplace to derail him just like he attempted to do with President Barack Obama, the candidate brushed it off, saying, “Who knows about Obama? Who cares? I have my own theory on Obama; someday I will write a book, I will do another book, and it will do very successfully.” - (bold and color emphasis added)
“I’m doing this for the good of Ted,” he concluded. “I’m not doing it for me. I like him! He likes me! We have a good relationship.”
