Trump "very seriously" wants to change "frankly, ridiculous" birthright citizenship by exec order

Aaron Rupar
@atrupar

Trump says he's "very seriously" looking at trying to change the Constitution by executive order.

"We're looking at that very seriously -- birthright citizenship. Where you have a baby on our land ... 'congratulations the baby is now a US citizen' ... it's, frankly, ridiculous."

"revised". It's become a common tactic with these scoundrels

If I remember correctly, it first began on DU after someone spotted it over on Freep Town.

It was used extensively during the "get a brain, morans" days.

I used it a year or two ago and was asked if I'd made a typo or if it actually meant something.
