Donald Trump has criticized birthright citizenship and vowed to revoke the law through an executive order. The birthright citizenship allows children of non-citizens and illegal immigrants born in the US to become automatic citizens.

Well, it seems the president has forgotten that same applies to his children's situation and a social media user pointed it out to him that his kids were born by an immigrant who wasn't a US citizen. @MrFilmkritik tweeted: Ivana Trump wasn't a US citizen until 1988.
