With preparations for the 2030 census already underway, Trump said Thursday he has instructed his administration to start work on a “new” census.
According to a social media post by Trump, that census would exclude millions of people living in the country without legal status — an unprecedented change to how the country has conducted population tallies since the first U.S. census in 1790.
The 14th Amendment requires the “whole number of persons in each state” to be included in a key set of census numbers used to determine how presidents and members of Congress are elected.
Part of the problem is that Trump says a lot of things but only ends up doing a few of them. Everyone ends up wasting a lot of time and energy reacting to things that never end up happening, and that ends up taking away from time to respond to things he’s actually done. Like yes, if this happens it’s a huge deal, but right now this is just the latest load of bullshit to come tumbling out of that cesspool Trump calls a mouth. It’s very concerning, but nearly everything Trump says is very concerning, and the things he actually does even more so.
Agreed, thank you! And the difference is that Epstein pedophilia is something that a significant chunk of the MAGA base actually does care about. To lose that support is why the Donvict is desperately making distractions and seeing what spaghetti sticks to keep hold of his malignant narcissist power. Keep donOLD running scared like the TACO pedo coward he is!
