Seriously? Their children would have to be NATURALIZED? As such, they could never run for the Presidency? As with someone like a John McCain? Captain Bone Spurs says this?

Add another group (Military) of US CITIZENS that Dear Leader is disrespecting.

1. cadet bone spur

What a truly disgusting piece of garbage. Is this his way of getting back on John McCain?

He expects a woman to fly home (at 36 weeks) and have to give birth without her husband?
What if there are other children in the family? Who is going to take care of them while the mother is back in the states.

I hope NO ONE volunteers to join the armed forces AT ALL> NO ONE.

2. Is there going to be anyone left in the country who doesn't absolutely hate him?

4. No.

3. He has been told that children of immigrants get birthright citizenship when born here

He would like to overturn this, but has been told he can't because of the Constitution. So perhaps his untutored understanding of the law is backwards: he thinks that children of the military not born here should not qualify for citizenship? It doesn't work that way.

8. Meanwhile, Russian women come here to give birth

in an assembly line fashion, and a lot of them stay at trump apts. in Miami and adjoining areas.

5. Doesn't he know that thousands of

young American military families live overseas where there active duty spouse is stationed? They're having babies who are citizens by Constitutional right.

Trump can't change the Constitutional so this is more hot air. Let's hope he pushes this gem and alienates the military.

6. Is he trying to lose support from the military and the farmers?

It sure seems like it.

7. That's a misreading

The change doesn't apply to children of US citizens born abroad whose parents apply for citizenship for them. Those are citizens at birth.

It applies to children born abroad who are not citizens at birth and later decide to apply for citizenship. It could also be for the grandchildren of US citizens whose parents were born abroad (and gained citizenship), but who never lived in the US themselves.

9. This is not the big deal that the OP makes it out to be

For another perspective:

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/459190-trump-officials-say-children-of-us-service-members-overseas-will-not

This applies to children of people who become naturalized AFTER the child has been born. Of particular significance to me is this exclusion: "Children of non-U.S. citizens adopted by U.S. citizen government employees or service members..."

I was born in Canada and adopted by a US couple. They still had to go through a process to make me a citizen. How is this any different?

There's a lot of things to be outraged about this administration, this isn't one of them.
