Yeah, Trump's a salty little bitch who shows his insecurity every time a joke is made at his expense.

Trump hated Obama because he's black. That's really all there is to it.

As you can see, the Ninth Amendment makes it clear the Constitution is not the only source of rights. It doesn't matter if any other rights have been enumerated or not, the Constitution is not the sole source.

In 2000, Harvard historian Bernard Bailyn gave a speech at the White House on the subject of the Ninth Amendment. He said that the Ninth Amendment refers to

or the States is not restricted to rights specifically mentioned in the first eight amendments. Cf. United Public Workers v. Mitchell, 330 U.S. 75, 94–95.

In sum, the Ninth Amendment simply lends strong support to the view that the "liberty" protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments from infringement by the Federal Government
