Remember when every American boasted about being part Irish/Scandinavian/French/Italian/Spanish etc. Actors used to love doing it in their bio, and the average American would do too.

No one does now. Why?

With no more nationality by birthright currently (though completely unconstitutional), then most every person is a child of two immigrants at some point, so ICE should be disappearing them.

And that South African white guy has said he was an illegal immigrant so he could be quickly disappeared. Everyone needs to make a report to ICE about him. As he’s still in the country, then every immigrant could come clean and publicly announce their illegal status and would be ok, right…Right?

I’m not American so have given up trying to understand the actions of a mad man. Watching White House meetings with Trump and his senior advisors sycophants is funny. It must be really scary for the leaders of other countries trying to make sense of it all.

    There is a good likelihood that whoever comes after him will be a lot more competent.

    CoughVanceCough. He is bright & very smart, powerful, and young. His Munich speech for example, even though too many of my EU fellow citizens (and representatives as well) dismissed it as non-sense and mean, was quite articulated (very hypocritical too, but that’s not the point) and, well, quite informative on what the USA want to do and what the USA will do.

    And so is Bessent, in a less rhetorician way even though I don’t imagine him becoming a leader but that’s just my gut feeling ;)
