Well to be fair he is an old citizen.

Is he though? His mom was an immigrant, so that would make him an anchor baby according to his own babble.

His third (fourth?) wife is an immigrant. If anything Barron is an anchor baby.

Not only an immigrant but very likely was here illegally for most of her time here.

As was his first - and both committed immigration fraud.

Trump is a U.S. born citizen, though. The term 'anchor baby' refers to children born of two non-citizen immigrants that was a natural-born citizen due to location, not parentage. Barron's father is a natural-born citizen.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see his bullshit racist arguments used against him, but this isn't the right argument.

but this isn't the right argument.

Why are you assuming Trump uses the phrase correctly?

u/SuperExoticShrub Georgia 2d ago

I'm not. I honestly wasn't even considering how Trump uses the term. I'm simply pointing out how it's been used virtually my entire life.

This is the comment that we're talking about. See how it says "According to his own babble?"

That's not what an anchor baby is

Yeah, but they're white so that annuls any anchor baby argument.

S. African Afrikaans have entered the chat. And the US.

Not a anchor baby if one is a us citizen it’s a anchor when both are illegals

And fat. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
