Donald Trump is the first president since the McCarthy era to openly suggest stripping citizenship from a natural-born American—Rosie O’Donnell. That’s not just outrageous—it’s unconstitutional. According to Afroyim v. Rusk (1967), the president has no legal authority to revoke citizenship from someone born in the United States.
Yet Trump continues to make threats that defy the rule of law, often with impunity. Our constitutional checks and balances are designed to restrain presidential overreach—but when Congress abdicates its responsibility, that system falters.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t about policy. It’s personal. Trump’s desire to punish Rosie O’Donnell stems from one thing—his inability to tolerate public criticism. Emotionally, he’s fragile. Politically, he’s reckless.
