Did a Burglar Snort Dried Sperm, Contracting Syphilis and Herpes?

Not long after having attended the Supreme Court hearing to hear oral arguments on the legality of ending birthright citizenship – becoming the first sitting president in history to do so – President Donald Trump took to social media Wednesday to lash out at the longstanding and constitutionally enshrined right, and with a claim that was blatantly false.

“We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, just as oral arguments in the Supreme Court hearing had ended.

Despite Trump’s claim, birthright citizenship exists in dozens of countries, including the United States’ neighbors Canada and Mexico. In the United States, birthright citizenship was enshrined as a right in 1868 through the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Trump has long sought to eliminate birthright citizenship in the United States, signing an executive order on his first day back in office last year to challenge the longstanding precedent.

President Donald Trump made several telling remarks Sunday in an interview with the Financial Times, revealing some of his administration’s potential war plans as it relates to Iran.

“To be honest with you, my favorite thing is to take the oil in Iran but some stupid people back in the US say: ‘why are you doing that?’ But they’re stupid people,” Trump told the Financial Times, the outlet reported.

Trump told the outlet that his “preference” in his administration’s war against Iran would be for the United States to “take the oil," invoking a comparison to the U.S. takeover of Venezuela’s oil industry in January when the Trump administration halted Venezuelan oil shipments to the Cuban government, and started oil shipments to Israel “for the first time in years.”

Trump also spoke to the possibility of the U.S. military seizing Kharg Island, an Iranian island critical to the nation’s oil industry.

“Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump said, speaking with the Financial Times. “It would also mean we had to be [in Kharg Island] for a while. I don’t think they have any defense. We could take it very easily.”
