Donald Trump calls the US a ‘st.pid country’
President Donald Trump recently called the United States a “stupid country” during a rant about birthright citizenship. He criticized the 14th Amendment, arguing that it was originally meant to grant citizenship to the children of former slaves after the Civil War, not to children born to non-permanent residents or undocumented immigrants. Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of tourists, students, or temporary workers, but federal judges in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have blocked the order. He has since urged the Supreme Court to reconsider, claiming that the current interpretation of the amendment is being misused.
Trump argued on his Truth Social platform that allowing birthright citizenship encourages illegal immigration and benefits drug cartels. He also claimed that the United States is the only country that automatically grants citizenship this way. As the Supreme Court prepares to debate the issue, Trump asserts that the judges lack the authority to block his order nationwide. A Justice Department official supported Trump’s stance, stating that injunctions against the order hinder the administration’s ability to implement its policies.
