The number 47 in black bold at 188 point font (47 x 4).

Trump's obsession with being the 47th president is extreme. Need an example? ICE training, which was 5 months, was reduced to 47 days. It's no coincidence. Football jersey with 47, table 47.

Birthright Citizenship at SCOTUS: Your Voice Matters From President Trump's first day in office, he's targeted birthright citizenship as part of a broader effort to define who belongs in our country. This abuse of power cannot go unanswered. Take action...

14th Amendment says all persons born in United States are citizens. The law was adopted in 1868, & 30 years later the Supreme Court reconfirmed that children born in the U.S. to immigrant parents are citizens. Sign so Trump & Supremes don't mess w/our laws.

At least Trump understands people speak in languages. Hegseth's maniacal laughter at Trump's words makes ex-Fox News actor look dumb. Then Hegseth laughs at his own slur, proving it. Born of Cuban parents & bilingual, Rubio keeps head down, incapable of leaving this insulting clown show.
