Current Events > Trump: Paul Ryan "knows nothing about" birthright citizenship

(+) Yeah! (+)

President Donald Trump went after House Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday, saying one of the top Republican leaders in the President's party "knows nothing about" birthright citizenship and "should be focusing on holding the Majority" in the House of Representatives "rather than giving his opinions" on the issue.

The comments come a day after Ryan threw cold water on the President's assertion that he can use executive action to end the constitutional guarantee of citizenship to anyone born in the United States.
Ryan told a Kentucky radio station Tuesday that "you cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order," following remarks from the President indicating that Trump believes he can do just that, though many legal scholars disagree.

On Wednesday, the President tweeted, "Paul Ryan should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about! Our new Republican Majority will work on this, Closing the Immigration Loopholes and Securing our Border!"

Since Obama's mom was American why did he make such a big deal about his birth certificate lol

This is funny on a couple levels.
- Paul Ryan, being an asshole, only voiced procedural concerns "you can't do that with an executive order." He'd be fine doing it through the proper channels or whatever.
- Donald Trump, being incredibly stupid, nevertheless perceives Ryan's comments as a substantive critique of ending birthright citizenship.

The right just keeps eating themselves

I love that this is the hill they chose. They all sold out and went bitch for Trump as if Trump cares. Hell turn on them in an instant.

I like how Trump mentioned the "new Republican majority". You know because It's so hard to get things done when you hold control every branch of government. Nope, need a theoretical really major majority.

It's almost like Trump and the GOP are just really goddamn incompetent. The Democrats failed at winning in 2016 and now the GOP has been failing at governing since.

Isnt that the trend? GOP gets elected, they fail, Democrats get elected, they begin to clean up GOP messes that will take several terms to clean up. They dont do it fast enough (while the GOP offers no willingness to work with them), GOP fear mongers, people vote for the GOP...lather, rinse, repeat.
