Fox News can't hide their contempt for Trump's 'vile' plot: report

The wider American voting public does not care for President Donald Trump's "vile" birthright citizenship arguments, and as New Republic noted in a new report, not even Fox News can hide their disdain.Trump last week suffered a major loss before the Supreme Court, which struck down his attempt to rewrite the constitutional definition of birthright citizenship via executive order, albeit by a slim 5-4 vote. The president and his supporters have remained resolute in the face of that defeat, calling for Congress to make the changes via legislation instead, claiming that the court's decision had cleared the way to do so without a new amendment to the Constitution.“Congress should start TODAY,” Trump implored on Truth Social. “No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary!”“If there’s some legislative fix, we’ll advance that immediately,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said about the situation.Writing about these remarks for the New Republic on Tuesday, Greg Sargent called the situation "alarming," and explained its roots in longstanding right-wing grievances about immigration."Birthright citizenship might require a mere 'legislative fix,' Johnson says, because under it, citizenship has been 'devalued' by 'birth tourism,'" Sargent wrote. "That last phrase has long been a noxious rallying cry on the anti-immigrant right. But in Johnson’s hands, it’s meant to portray the birthright citizenship “problem” as no biggie, as a trivial matter that just needs a little patching up."He added later: "Theoretically, Johnson and Republicans could write legislation that, say, prohibits the grant of citizenship to any babies born to one or two parents who entered illegally and/or were undocumented at the time of the birth. Right now, such a bill would presumably be upheld as constitutional by 'only four Supreme Court justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch voted to overturn birthright citizenship on constitutional grounds, and Brett Kavanaugh sided with the majority but only on a statutory basis, not a constitutional one. That’s alarming."Whatever the GOP might try to do from this point, Sargent noted further that it would not be embraced by a majority of the voting public, noting that even a poll from the conservative Fox News showed that Trump's core demographics are mostly opposed to his arguments on birthright citizenship. Support for the principle is also on the rise."It would also be deeply, deeply unpopular," Sargent wrote "A recent Fox News poll found that 69 percent of Americans think a kid born to an 'illegal immigrant' (Fox’s language) should 'automatically become a U.S. citizen.' That includes 65 percent of noncollege white voters, 61 percent of rural whites, and even 57 percent of white evangelicals. As Fox quietly reported in March (how often do you hear this finding on the network?), relative to previous years, support for it is up."

Trump revives push for US control of Greenland during NATO Summit

Trump revives push for US control of Greenland during NATO Summit

U.S. President Donald Trump, earlier this year, appeared to back down from his push for Greenland to become part of the United States. But after arriving in Ankara, Turkey on Tuesday, July 7, Trump appeared determined to reopen that old wound by reiterating his ideas for Greenland.On X, Financial Times' Amy Mackinnon reported, "Two hours since he touched down in Ankara for the Nato summit and Trump has reiterated that he believes Greenland 'should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark.' He went on to say that the US could remove 'all of our soldiers out of Europe,' claiming that the continent is 'a very different place than it was 20 years ago.'"Trump's desire for Greenland to become part of the United States is a sore spot for other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) — especially Denmark.After Trump, earlier this year, called for the U.S. to annex the Arctic island of Greenland — a colony of Denmark — other NATO countries made it clear that they were vehemently opposed to the idea. Mette Frederiksen emphasized that Greenland and Europe would decide the island's future, not Trump.In January, Trump wouldn't rule out the possibility of the U.S. military taking Greenland by force, saying that the U.S. would acquire Greenland either the easy way or "the hard way" and that the annexation would happen "whether they like it or not." And Danish broadcaster DR reported that Denmark was quietly making preparations to protect Greenland militarily.DR, in March, reported, "With the Greenland crisis, Europe realized once and for all that we need to be able to take care of our own security, says a top French official who has played a crucial role in the intense months and critical days of the Greenland crisis."NATO officials warned that if the U.S. did try to take Greenland by force, it would mean the end of the 77-year-old alliance. Trump seemed to back down from his threats against Greenland, but he continued to bring up the subject at times.The 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara comes at a time when other NATO countries are not only troubled by Trump's threats against Greenland, but also, by the way he has handled the United States' war against Iran.After going to war against Iran in late February and carrying out airstrikes against the country, Trump berated other NATO countries for not doing more to help him with the military operation.
