          From the same article:

          Trump’s international origins make him relatively unusual among American presidents. Of the last 10 presidents, only two—Trump and Barack Obama—have had a parent born outside of the United States.

          So, that begs the question: where’sTrump’s birth certificate? How do we know he wasn’t born outside of the US?

            Every accusation is a confession, so who knows. Maybe he isn’t even born here. I’ll need to see his long form birth cert please.

              This was a thing in 2011 because when he was birth-ering Obama people asked about Trump’s certificate, and he produced a piece of paper that turned out to be unofficial. A bunch of news articles from back then are down now even though most news websites go back decades usually. “Someone should investigate”

            No, it really doesn’t.

            Look, orange man bad, I get it, I fully agree. But questioning his birth status? You sound like a 2008 Republican.

            Trump has done plenty of heinous shit to hate on him for. There’s no need to make up lies.

        He’s only here because his grandpappy evaded the German army, speculated on business during the gold rush, ran a prostitution ring, and when he tried to go back in 1904, Germany said no, fuck you, you military dodger and expelled him back to the United States.

        And Donald isn’t an immigrant. He was born in the United States. He’s a natural born citizen. Just like Kamala. Just like Obama.

    I get the intent, but this really just plays into the “immigrants = bad” argument.

    When Trump speaks of “immigrants,” he means immigrants like his wives and the people that work at his properties that were not born in the US. Not himself as someone born in the US to an immigrant mother, or his children born in the US to an immigrant mother.
