Ana Navarro warns Melania: ‘If my citizenship can be taken away so can yours’

"The View" Republican — and "Never Trumper" — host Ana Navarro warned First Lady Melania Trump that her citizenship could be removed if President Donald Trump is allowed to strip others of it.
Speaking on Monday's episode of "The View," the co-hosts were talking about Elon Musk's new political party and the reasons that he isn't the best poster boy for it.
"What I found very interesting is that Trump says that he's looking at deporting Musk as the feud reignites and Musk didn't seem to have a problem with his companies getting all sorts of, you know, wonderful contracts for his SpaceX," said Sunny Hostin.
"The Department of Justice is now prioritizing seeking to strip citizenship from naturalized citizens," Hostin added.
"Girl, don't give them any ideas," Navarro chimed in.
"Somebody should remind Trump that his wife is a naturalized citizen," Navarro noted.
"She sure is," agreed Hostin.
"If my naturalized citizenship can be taken away, then so can hers by somebody else in the future," Navarro quipped.
Navarro was born in Nicaragua, and her family fled to the U.S. to escape political instability in the country. Melania Trump was born in Eastern Europe in what is now Slovenia. She entered the U.S. in 2001 under the EB-1 visa, also known as the "Einstein visa," which is designed to recruit the top talent of the world to come to the U.S. Melania Trump was working as a model at the time.
‘Take a drug test:’ GOP lawmaker attacks Jeffries over filibuster performance

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) took aim at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) Thursday over what he called Jeffries’ “low-T” filibuster on President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
“Dollar Store Obama has been hysterically rambling for over three and a half hours, whining about tax cuts for working Americans, bonuses for our brave law enforcement, and mass deportations of illegals,” Ogles said Thursday in a social media post on X.
“He’s still droning on like a broken record… Hakeem needs to get off the House floor, take a drug test, and start putting America first – not last.”
Jeffries has been taking advantage of a loophole in House floor rules that allows party leaders to speak for as long as they want during debate, sometimes referred to as the “magic minute.” The OBBBA, Trump’s budget reconciliation package, advanced in the House early Thursday after a number of Republican holdouts were persuaded to vote in favor of moving the bill forward for a final vote.
Now, as it’s become clear Republicans likely have the votes to pass the bill outright, Jeffries appears to be holding off the final vote for as long as he can, and much to the ire of Republicans like Ogles.
“Not sure if his batteries are running low or if he's just low-T, but someone needs to hand Discount Dollar Store Obama some caffeine ASAP,” Ogles said.
With Republicans’ slim majority in the House, the party can afford no more than three dissenting votes on the OBBBA for it to pass. Amid his filibuster, Jefferies has repeatedly called for “only four Republicans” to dissent and join Democrats in stopping the bill from passing.
‘Fallen off a mental cliff’: New Trump traits have White House insiders alarmed

Bizarre new behavior from President Donald Trump has planted fresh new worries among White House insiders, according to a report Thursday.
Some who described changes to Salon’s Brian Karem are concerned that Trump is quickly losing ability to put in the hours needed for his position — and that his mental acuity has taken a significant downturn.
“Maybe Trump has fallen off a mental cliff,” wrote Karem, adding “even some in his administration [are] worried about his physical and mental health.”
Among warning flags are the fact that the president has apparently stopped working on Mondays. The information came from a White House source who told Karem, “I’d lose my job if I talked about this publicly. Or worse.”
He confided that Trump hasn’t shown up in the Oval Office on a Monday for the past month. He’s also been playing golf in Virginia, avoiding his usual trips to his clubs in Florida and New Jersey.
“That’s because he doesn’t have to be gone from the White House as long,” the source told Karem. “I don’t think he’s in good physical health.”
Other causes for concern voiced to the writer by two people inside Trump’s circle included, “His recent lackluster public appearances, his gait, his apparent befuddlement, his propensity to govern via Truth Social postings, his sloppy attire and his lack of engagement at the White House with others.”
“His sanity looks long gone,” Karem surmised. “And that doesn’t bode well for the country since there’s absolutely no chance the sycophants in his cabinet will invoke the 25th Amendment.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene says ‘Diddy’ verdict means Hunter Biden should go to jail

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reacted to a partial guilty verdict against Sean "Diddy" Combs by insisting that Hunter Biden should be prosecuted for the same crimes.
After the musician was found guilty of prostitution-related offenses based on the Mann Act, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) suggested that Combs was targeted because he was Black.
"Diddy has spent nearly 10 months in jail for two Mann Act violations," Gaetz said in a Wednesday promotion for his television show. "We explore the origins of the Mann Act and how it has been used against famous Black people since its inception more than 100 years ago."
"The denial of bail in this matter is nonsense," he insisted.
On Thursday, Greene responded to Gaetz by arguing that "Diddy belongs in jail for a very long time."
"Also notice that while the Mann Act has been used against many black men, it was not used against one white man," she added. "His name is Hunter Biden."
"I brought the receipts last Congress, and the DOJ never prosecuted and Hunter was pardoned," Greene stated.
Trump more focused on ‘selling fragrances’ than telling the truth: lawmaker

Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) called out President Donald Trump for being "more committed to selling fragrances than he is to telling the truth" about the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill."
As Republicans try to muster the votes for Trump's legislation, Kamlager-Dove spoke with a group of Congressional Black Caucus members outside the Capitol on Wednesday.
"We have a president that is more committed to selling fragrances than he is to telling the truth," she railed. "And [Republicans] are negotiating with this person about bending the knee to him rather than bending the knee to the constituents."
"And in our district, in every single district across this country, 85% of voters in every single district want Medicaid, want SNAP, want these programs that they are cutting," she continued. "If you cut Medicaid, you're going to close hospitals, you're going to close urgent cares, you're going to close community clinics."
The lawmaker also insisted Trump was "lying" about his pledge not to tax tips, overtime, or Social Security.
"Working folks who rely on tips, who rely on overtime, might only end up taking an additional $10 home," Kamlager-Dove explained. "How is $10 going to help you? It's not, especially when the richest of the rich are getting tax breaks of up to $300,000."
"We want everyone to know how more broke, how more hungry, how more sick they are going become and we need to be holding these receipts up to and through 2026 and holding these Republicans accountable. Why aren't they here with balloons and megaphones touting how beautiful this thing is? Because they know it stinks just like the cologne that they are selling in the White House," she added.
‘Stop lying’: Top Dem rips Trump after attack on NYC’s Mamdani

President Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on Democratic New York mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, a young, progressive Muslim state representative who pulled off a massive upset by defeating the comeback candidacy of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month — but House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is putting his foot down against it.
"As President of the United States, I'm not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. "Rest assured, I hold all the levers, and have all the cards. I'll save New York City, and make it 'Hot' and 'Great' again, just like I did with the Good O' USA!"
Jeffries, however, hit back on Wednesday.
"Stop lying about Assemblyman Mamdani," Jeffries posted to X. "He is neither a communist nor a lunatic. And New York City doesn’t need to be saved by a wannabe King. Besides, you are too busy destroying America with your One Big Ugly Bill to do anything else."
This comes after Jeffries appeared hesitant to give a full endorsement to Mamdani's candidacy in an interview with ABC on Sunday, saying, "We don’t really know each other well. Our districts don’t overlap. I have never had a substantive conversation with him" — which Politico had speculated might mean Jeffries was poised to throw him under the bus.
Trump has previously drawn fire for suggesting he could have Mamdani arrested if he interferes with immigration enforcement in New York City, and falsely claimed he might not even be in the country legally and could face deportation.
Mamdani, a naturalized citizen, rebuffed these threats, saying, “The president of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported, not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city. His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy, but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation.”
