      Eric Levitz Retweeted Daniel W. Drezner

      I actually don’t think he’s making that presumption. Remember, Judge Curiel was “Mexican” even though he was a son of Indiana. For Trump, nonwhite Americans are “from other countries,” no matter where they’re born.https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1150383987887628290?s=21 …

      There’s a lot of repellent stuff in these tweets, but it’s interesting that Trump presumes Ayanna Pressley (born in Chicago), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (born in NYC), and Rashida Tlaib (born in Detroit) were not born in the USA. pic.twitter.com/2vHjEnMdRs

      Exactly. It's a two tier system: White people are automatically Americans no matter from where (Melania!) while POC are provisional Americans whose status can always be revoked (even if their ancestry in territorial USA goes back much further than most white people's)

          Hark @realDonaldTrump! Congresswomen Pressley, Ocasio-Cortez, & Tlaib were all born here. Melania, however, was born in a foreign country, snuck into the USA illegally & worked illegally, but questioned the citizenship of Americans born here. If anyone should "go back" it's her! pic.twitter.com/TurJYM7CRF

          I can't tell with 100% certainty, but it may be that AOC's ancestry in territorial USA goes back further than Trump's (PR became US colony in 1898, Fred Trump was conceived in Germany and born in NY 1905).
