Trump backs off adding citizenship question to census
NY Post ^ | 7/11/2019 | Mark Moore

President Trump will announce that he is backing away from trying to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census during a Thursday afternoon news conference, according to multiple reports.

The president instead will take executive action to direct the Commerce Department to collect the information by other means. ABC News was the first to report the development.

I intend to write in BIG RED letters across every page of the census they send me:

I AM A CITIZEN OF THE USA-— BORN HERE.

Then, I will block out the bar code on the forms so they HAVE TO INPUT IT ALL BY HAND.

Start kicking them out. Put it on TV like LivePD. Make a game show out of it, and stars out of ICE officers. “He’s got 134 deportations this round, that’s a new record as he looks to make it to the semifinals.”

The trouble with talking a good game is that after failing to follow through so many times, the talk becomes very cheap and even his most loyal supporters begin to lose interest.

Trump will admit more third-world aliens into our homeland than Obama did in any four-year period.

Sorry if I recognize that for the utter failure that it is. And whether due to betrayal or incompetence (zero effort the first two years) or impotence (Ryan/Pelosi/McConnel/Roberts are in charge), it is still failure.

You, of course, are free to keep clapping like a trained seal for the latest empty promise of “future success”. Just spare us the histrionics when those of us outside your fantasy safe-space choose not to clap along.

I imagine that he knows there will be so much coaching that a question every 10 years is useless...he probably wants something with a better chance of getting the facts.

As if Donald Trump couldn’t find this information out any other way... or even do anything about the greater problem of illegales... man, you sure keep on thinking Donald Trump is an imbecile. He knows what battles are worth fighting and when. He’ll sacrifice the symbolic for the substance every single solitary time.
