This Twitter reaction to Donald Trump's vow to revoke birthright citizenship is blowing up for obvious reasons

By -
Image
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. Trump says this is "ridiculous" and he promised to do something about it. 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. She gave birth to Don Jr in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. Let's cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Here is an official statement from APC reacting to the defection of 15 Senators and 36 house of representatives members from the party today. Read below The All Progressives Congress (APC) notes the development in the National Assembly with the defection of some of our members from the Party. In the last couple of weeks our Party leaders have worked to stave off this situation as responsible Party leaders would do. It would appear however that the individuals involved have different considerations beyond the grievances that they were willing to discuss and which our leaders were willing to address. As a truly democratic party, we respect the right of every citizen to political association. Therefore, we urge our members to remain calm as we continue to work hard to position our party strongly for the next general elections.  APC remains in firm control of 25 states of the 36 states of the federation and maintains a clear majority in the federal House of Representa...

Militants linked to the Islamic State (IS) group have hoisted their flag in a Nigerian town after seizing control of it, three residents have told the BBC. Hundreds of people have fled the fishing town of Baga after the militants overran it on Wednesday night, the residents said. The militants seized weapons from a military base, and torched a naval base on the shores of Lake Chad, they said. The military denied Baga had fallen, saying the attack had been repelled. But PRNigeria, an agency well-connected with the military, quoted an intelligence officer as saying that troops had made a "tactical withdrawal" from their base after coming under attack.
