Why is President Brain Damage at this again? I wonder if he ever realizes his focus is strictly on south american illegals? I never hear him complain about Europeans coming here illegally. He's racist.
He will go down in world history as most lawyered up president. If pattern maintains just wait until after 2020 general election.
Cue constitutional crisis in 3... 2...
Dump should push himself down the toilet.
What about pressing matters like homeless vets, the border children, gun violence. 💔💔💔
realDonaldTrump doesn't understand the very government to which his administration is only one part of three branches. He is not a king. He has to abide by SCOTUS rulings otherwise he's in violation of the law. It's time to start ImpeachmentHearingsNow. SpeakerPelosi
Thank you Mr. President!
Who gives a shit about the constitution, right? MAGA
Since when did executive orders bypass Congress and the Supreme Court?
As he should!!
Maybe if the media would just call this action what it is; a 'Royal Decree!', more people would look behind the curtain at the man who would be King (George III).
Executive Orders are reminiscent of the last potus. We need and deserve to know who’s in our country.
This will keep on happening as long as the opposition has leaders like Nancy Pelosi. She’s almost 80 for god’s shake!! Now she just mumbles when she speaks.
Good for him! A country that cannot ask how many citizens are in is insane.
ACLU is on this in JUST ONE MORE lawsuit against a lawless admin.
No!
Use better headlines! You need to tell the absolute truth from now on! It should say that Trump is planning on violating the Constitution by using executive action on the Citizenship question in defiance of THe SCOTUS ruling. There's your headline!
So don’t mark it…?
I'm sure there is a lawsuit or two, or ten ready to challenge this
He is costing $millions just to lose in court. Stupid move to appeal to public sentiment of his base. Know this—No president can over rule the SCOTUS. No one is above the law. No one.
If you don’t think he’s gathering data for his next political rally...
If it gets added, everyone should check noncitizen.
Yes and Pelosi made the statement that realDonaldTrump was trying to make sure that 'certain' people did not vote!!! WELL, ISN'T IT ILLEGAL TO ALLOW A 'NON-CITIZEN' TO VOTE? What was with her statement? Gee we wonder why she doesn't want the question asked. newvotersfordems ?
Since the SC has said the census question can't be included and the forms have already started printing, I hope the Court informs the 'would be king' that the question cannot be added because he can't just do what the highest court in the land tells him he can't do.
I would think the states would be upset by this as they stand to lose funding for their programs based on this question, fyi they not? I personally do not think i will answer that question if it appears.
This is a fascist act. He has to be stopped.
Great... Hope it gets added to the Census. Go Trump...
Tweet says “try and add” the question. Does this mean it might not get printed?
Sighhhhh
If that's unconstitutional how is it constitutional to ask that question when purchasing a firearm?
Nothing makes Hair Fuhrer angrier than someone telling him, 'No'. If only he had absolute power, like his best friends Putin and KJ. Damned checks and balances.
IMPEACH the f*cker who keeps trying to get around the law, the Constitution to get his sick way SpeakerPelosi Remove HIM today, you are watching him dismantle the United States and doing NOTHING but some chatter
You born in USA? NOT!
Congress DoYourJob ImpeachTheMF Is there anything that would get Nancy to do her job? The Constitution demands an impeachment.
So now he can just override the judiciary branch? Wow... Who gave him absolute power?
God forbid the U.S. census was ACTUALLY A CENSUS OF AMERICANS !!! npr is getting very close to surpassing CNN for the lamest news source in the nation.
It all does not matter, the Democrats will go to court to fight the 'results' of the 2020 Census is complete and publicly reported. They will sue claiming under counting of minorities (no matter what). Anyone want to wager? LOL
If he can just do an executive order for everything why have courts...congress..laws...
Just a few years ago, he considered it an impeachable offense. But, Obama was still president.
It's the administration's latest effort in a more than year-long legal fight to include the question, which has been blocked by the Supreme Court for now. The question asks, 'Is this person a citizen of the United States?'
KAG
to try *to* add
I next expect him to crown himself king via executive order. 🙄😡
U didn’t like this one
keranews Really seems like a basic and necessary question.
I'm starting to question the need for laws and judges if POTUS will just override anything he doesn't like with an Executive Order he pretended to hate up until 2016.
trump is a demoniac .
Defying Supreme Court? Unreal.
Can someone tell me why adding that question to the Census is bad?
The supreme court has already ruled against him,this man,this president is a criminal.,ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow
checks and balances eh? lol
He just doesn’t know the meaning of the word “no” does he?
“Rule of law” my ass
