On Thursday, Donald Trump tweeted, “.@SenTedCruz Ted–free legal advice on how to pre-empt the Dems on citizen issue. Go to court now & seek Declaratory Judgment–you will win!”

Trump’s tweet is the latest in a series of statements wherein he seems to be simultaneously fanning the flames on Cruz birtherism, and saying it won’t be an issue.
On Wednesday, according to CNN, he said, “How do you run against the Democrat, whoever it may be, and you have this hanging over your head if they bring a lawsuit?”
Some Trump supporters seem to understand Trump’s not-so-subtle hint. Wednesday, Ann Coulter tweeted Cruz is not eligible to be president, and people circulated the tweet alongside something she tweeted to the contrary, several years ago.

Cruz, however, isn’t worried about it, saying it’s a “non-issue.”
