Itβs a bold argument it is asking the Supreme Court to acceptβand weβll soon find out where the justices stand.

Trump Calls U.S. βSTUPIDβ in Wild AntiβBirthright Citizenship Rant

Trump just said the quiet part out loud:
βThey happen to be white.β
He has now created a special immigration path just for white South Africans.
At the same time, his agents are raiding homes, dragging out anyone who is Latino, and deporting children.
This isnβt policy. Itβs apartheid.
