Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump's ex-wife Ivana wasn't an American citizen until 1988.
She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984.
Let's cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Son took me last week, its everything you said. But missed the star of the show, the '37 Talbot-Lago, and the downstairs Vault. Vault has less interpretation, but more cars. But it's still a treat.

Grok calculates that Elon's DOGE CUTS will
KILL 3.88 Million people worldwide and 520,000 Americans.
γƒΌγƒΌ
DOGE claims they have cut $130 billion, this is less than the $170 billion in unpaid taxes that millionaires/billionaires evade EACH YEAR. Biden reinstated the Non-Filer Program to collect these evaded taxes but Trump immediately shut it down. There have been 25K millionaire/billionaire non-filers since 2017. The rich could save 4M lives if they just paid their taxes.
