Part 1
1. President Trump stoked a controversial theory being promoted by supporters — and his campaign — that Sen. Kamala Harris of California is not eligible for the vice presidency.....
Trump, who led a "birther" conspiracy movement against former President Barack Obama, told reporters Thursday that he heard a "highly qualified, very talented lawyer" opine that Harris didn't qualify to serve as vice president but did not know if it were true or not. Trump was responding to a question and was referring to a Newsweek opinion piece by law professor John Eastman inaccurately calling into question Harris' eligibility.
"I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements," Trump said. "I have no idea if that's right. I would have assumed that the Democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for vice president.".....
Harris was born in Oakland, Calif., on Oct., 20, 1964. Experts say anyone born in the United States is an American citizen, which makes them eligible for the presidency.
The 14th Amendment reads: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."...

2. Using "The Art of Insinuation", Trump again resorts to his trump card -- the race card -- to launch a "birther movement" against a fellow American citizen. Sooner or later, he will tell Harris to "go back" to where she came from just like what he told four minority Democratic congresswomen in 2019.

For this US president, the race card is his trump card
Donald Trump’s racist tweets are carefully calculated to sow division among his opponents
Donald Trump says the House Democrats he insulted should apologize day after his 'go back' tweets
