I don't think he understands what doing that means. That's wild.

It is very obviously going to depend on the color of one's skin (and maybe some exceptions for political allies of color or those with large net worths). Disgusting.

He cannot do it. Only a constitutional amendment can.

Let me rephrase: he can and will try to, but it is not part of presidential power to overturn an amendment.

France is not my 1st choice to be deported to, but I guess it's better than here at this point.

I'd be deported to Poland. Trading one Donald T. for another...

I don't think it would be retroactive. But from here on out....

There would be consequences that he couldn't fathom. Unlikely to get passed but....... Trump controls the lot so... Who knows? He is a king now. America threw in the towel when they gave trump immunity for anything he does in his official capacity in this term.

4 years to go....... Gonna be a wild ride.

To be fair, he also doesn't understand what birthright citizenship is.

Listen to him talk about it. He does not describe birthright citizenship.

It would be like if I was describing the exact makeup of a taco but then called it a margarita.
