Unfortunately that's not technically true. Trump's grandfather reportedly immigrated to the US in 1885, and Puerto Rico was first obtained by the US from the Spanish in 1898.

According to these sources:

No need to go back that far. Trump's mom was born in Scotland and only became a US citizen in the 1942 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Anne_MacLeod_Trump.

Though admittedly idk anything about Bad Bunny's family and the whole concept of how American your family is pretty dumb

So...she was only a citizen for four years when Trump was born?

I bet this fuck probably would deport his own mother.

He's an anchor baby.

Immigrated in 1885 but not a citizen until 1892. Still earlier I guess though.

When did Trump's grandfather gain citizenship?

EDIT: 1892

https://harpers.org/archive/2017/03/the-emigrants/

That source states that his ancestor immigrated to the US but it doesn't state he became a citizen automatically. Perhaps citizenship or perhaps just legal residency? I don't care enough to search but the post isn't disproved by that link.

Bad bunny has grown up like most Americans, in a poor place. Trump and his pedos know knowing of the struggle people go through just to feed themselves. Thats why people like Trump cant make or understand art

Frankly, for that jackass, I don't think it would have made a difference. He's dumb as a box of rocks and has no skills that anyone can point to. I mean his followers mostly grew up poor as hell - you think any of them are capable of art?

(My apologies for insulting rocks. But that was simply the only analogy that I could think of at the moment.)

His only skills are the ones Roy Cohn taught him.

I'm naturalized but I'm still more pro-constitution than the dipshit in the oval office

I don't care how long his family has been here, you shouldn't be calling yourself an "American" when you literally wage war against the constitution and the American people.

BB also puts on a much better show, the orange clown is terrible

Its all BS as the only Americans who aren't Immigrants would be native Americans.

My ancestors were technically here before the US was a thing and aren't even native Americans. They were given land grants from spain to parts of the Spanish territory that are now parts of Texas.

Immigrants are where America gets its strength. Attacking immigrants is just an attempt to weaken the people, divide and conquer, so the rich can stay in power.
