If Yang is nominated will Trump demand his birth certificate?

[Jolly_Penguin]

If Yang becomes the nominee (however unlikely that may be), will Trump demand to see his birth certificate like he did with Obama, just because Yang isn't white? I give it 50/50 odds.

 

[Sarpedon]

I agree, though this time he might have a surrogate do it.

It may be a harder sell for him, since Yang was born on the continental US.

Hawaii is as fully part of the United States as is New Jersey or Pennsylvania.

No. Because that didn't lead to an impeachment or election defeat.
But he's gotten great reviews with his new tactic.

"Don't put him in office, send him back where he came from!"

And when the crowds chant 'Go back where you came from' at Yang appearances, Trump will shrug and say, "I don't think i can stop the chants. Sorry. It's the will of the people."

I know voters who are shaky on that idea. They still don't know why we went to war for Hawaii when Japan bombed them.

Yang won't be the nominee, so your question is moot.

The US is entering it's largest constitutional crisis since 1860... and Jolly is asking a hypothetical about a guy that is more likely than pretty much only me to get the Dem nomination.

He's come in fourth and fifth in a few polls, and continues to rise. He was under 1% a few months back and has come in at 12% in a recent poll. He's a long shot sure, but he's doing better than most of them in the debates (other than the big 3). And unlike Warren and Biden, there's little question that he'd beat Trump (so would many of the others; its sad that the top 2 are the least likely to).

Not according to Hawaiian separatists (most of whom are also opposed to TMT and vice versa).
