Trump Slams US as “Stupid Country” Over Birthright Citizenship
In a new outburst, Donald Trump called the U.S. a “stupid country” while ranting about birthright citizenship. His remarks come amid ongoing efforts to reshape immigration laws during his second White House run.
Cracking Down on Immigration
Since January 20, President Trump has aggressively pursued his “Make America Great Again” agenda. He’s targeted trade deals, crime, drugs—and most forcefully, immigration.
Trump has already deported thousands of migrants, even invoking wartime powers to send hundreds to El Salvador’s mega-jail without trials. He also rolled out a “free flight” program offering cash incentives to non-citizens willing to leave voluntarily.
Birthright Citizenship in Trump’s Crosshairs
Now, Trump is focusing on birthright citizenship, a right protected by the 14th Amendment, which guarantees U.S. citizenship to all born or naturalized in the country.
According to a recent executive order, children born in the U.S. to non-resident parents—such as undocumented immigrants or temporary visitors—should not automatically gain citizenship.
Judges Push Back
Federal judges in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington swiftly blocked the order. Despite this, Trump doubled down on his position in a post on Truth Social.
Trump’s Justification
He claimed the birthright provision was created to protect the children of former slaves after the Civil War—not to grant citizenship to tourists or undocumented immigrants.
“Birthright Citizenship was not meant for people taking vacations to become permanent citizens… all the time laughing at the ‘SUCKERS’ that we are!”
He added that no other country offers such a right and blamed drug cartels for exploiting the policy.
Harsh Words for the U.S.
Trump escalated his attack by labeling the U.S. as a “STUPID Country” for allowing such laws to continue.
“This is the opposite of being politically correct… it leads to America’s dysfunction.”
He argued that the 14th Amendment, passed in 1866, was never intended for today’s immigration challenges. Instead, it addressed the status of slaves’ children after the Civil War.
Urging the Supreme Court to Act
Trump called on the Supreme Court to intervene and block judges from overturning national executive orders. He insisted the issue of illegal immigration wasn’t even relevant when the amendment passed.
“Please explain this to the Supreme Court… What we had were the BABIES OF SLAVES.”
What Comes Next?
The Supreme Court is now set to review the legality of Trump’s move to eliminate birthright citizenship. Meanwhile, the Justice Department argues that nationwide injunctions against Trump’s policies amount to a direct attack on the executive branch.
As the debate intensifies, Trump continues to frame the matter as a fight for the country’s identity—and his presidency’s legacy.
