By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow April 1 at 12:05 PM President Trump spoke out strongly Monday in favor of a contentious citizenship question that his commerce secretary added to the 2020 Census, asserting that the survey would be “meaningless” without the addition.
Can you believe that the Radical Left Democrats want to do our new and very important Census Report without the all important Citizenship Question. Report would be meaningless and a waste of the $Billions that it costs to put together! Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has maintained that the information is important for several reasons, including enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, and that he carefully considered the advantages and disadvantages of adding the question before making his decision.
This shows how stupid he is . The census is how we apportioned everything . Dumb ass Don.
Yes, we need to COUNT our number of CITIZENS with the census formularies to help STOP fraude at the elections
Of course he does, he won’t be able to round up the brown people. And yet another example he doesn’t know what the purpose of the report is for. Meaningless POTUS
But I’m not to be trusted, am I? Just like Donald with the citizenship stuff...
It's racist just like DT.
Soon democrats will take over and citizenship borders the law and everything else will mean nothing
Show us your birth certificate!
I don’t know why we waste time and money on elections when we have federal judges to rule us
California, thanks those to Judges for the ability to maintain their Voting District as they are? If the cities in California lost 400,000 voters and replaced them with non-citizens (illegals), wouldn't that change the balance of power in California? 1 year no! How about 5 or 10?
What part of NO does realDonaldTrump not understand?
Oh, did I forget that this 'Very stable genius' also knows more than anyone about the *Accordion hands* 'record deepness' of the Great Lakes?!
Better
What he really means is he doesn't understand it.
I worked census 2010. It was tough getting their names and birthdates on the form let alone citizenship. And how can the census taker prove if they are citizens when most of them don’t own passports? Unless the court also allows they can ask for proof this is stupid.
Wrong
It should get a tally of actual citizens here too. Why wouldn’t we want that information? People making a fuss about it are stupid.
Trump is a genius he knows
doesnt make any difference to me what questions they ask on census form....im not answering any of them...may little way to protest.
well when this census comes out i will just throw it away, no need to answer this democraptic rigged census,LOL
Trump needs to stop with his temper tantrums. He works for the American people. He cannot be allowed to do whatever he wants. When my kitty misbehaves, I get him with a squirt bottle. End of bad behavior. I'd suggest that we do the same to Trump if his Orange Glo doesn't melt
Impotus has ulterior motives. Tens of thousands will either throw a curve ball, not respond at all or perhaps throw that censuses in the trash. I intend to perform a mixology from all of the above.
🤣 🤣 🤣 God forbid we ask citizen questions on a census....
Thick as a brick.
You know he’s approaching 10,000 lies, right?
The Census has never been meaningless but at times we have had undercount problems. The Citizen question is not necessary and could cause a major undercount problem.
Democrats use the census to increase their rep count in states that provide refuge and protect illegal immigrants. They shouldn’t be counted, period.
We aren’t using Trumpian logic on this.
He's right. Let's just say this OUT LOUD. We want to have a NATIONAL CENSUS, but think it would be inappropriate to ask people if they are a CITIZEN. THAT is a CONTROVERSIAL question in 2020. Let that sink in...
You, trump, are meaningless.
As usual with him, that word (meaningless) doesn't mean what he thinks it means.
Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau undertakes a mammoth task: counting all of the people living in the United States and recording basic information such as age, sex, and race. The United States' founders thought these data were so important they mandated it .
a step backwards for more sophisticated democracy?
Is Trump a citizen? Can he prove it?
And president Trump is correct again, the illegal immigration is out of control and 2020 is his.
His presidency is 'meaningless' and 'ruthless'! He needs to go!!!
He fails to understand that the census is done to count the population. Not citizens, not elihible voters,not pepple of certain political parties but the population of the country !
I’ll tell you what is meaningless. Anything that comes out of Donald Trump’s anus of a mouth.
What if we all chose to ignore the question?
Huh, didn’t Trump’s wife overstay a Visa?
Trump is meaningless, but unfortunately still in a position to continue ruining this country. 'Make America a S**thole' -- for the first time in history.
We don’t need to know if you’re a citizen when you answer these questions intended to gather info on citizens.
And census takers will be abused by the anti government fringe who worship Trump & “ Don’t want the Government intruding”
I worked for a state government managing federal programs for 31 years. The information provided by the census was vital to our planning programs - who they served, what population needs were, where population concentrations were located, funding amounts, etc. Trump has no clue.
Meaning less for future gerrymandering! Let’s state the real reason for the question!
USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE
The census can ask any questions they deem appropriate. The individual answers on the 2020 census will not even be released until 2095. The public will only see the totals in a statistical format.
Republicans BOUGHT SCOTUS. Like they BOUGHT ATTORNEY GENERAL. Like stacking the courts. Constant lies. Nothing matters.
He’s pointless
Mark your calendars
Well this is why conservatives put so much effort into packing the Supreme Court with democracy-hating hacks...
He is correct
Can you imagine the founders saying “no, we can’t ask who is a citizen”? No? The Supreme Court will have trouble imagining that too.
What do you expect from conservatives? I mean voter suppression and gerrymandering and other forms of cheating are at the ugly, congested, sadly still-beating-heart of their political movement and strategy.
That’s crazy! Then the 1960-2010 census enumerations were useless? What an idiotic statement from the president.
The 2000 census. Obama removed it in 2010
And yet in Obama's 'American Survey' which I was forced and even threatened to fill out and return...I was asked if I needed help using the bathroom and bathing. Which question is more intrusive?
Both judges, on the west coast, happen to be Obama appointees. A great majority of those living in the flyover states have little respect for judges there. This will go to SCOTUS, who may or may not uphold the decision. We will have to wait and see.
So now he's a bullshitter and a demographer?
The only thing that is meaningless is trump who is a want to be dictator.
Has there always been a citizenship question? Has the census always been meaningless? I never answer beyond number of heads in the household, so I'm no help
This is said by the same idiot who looked directly at an eclipse. I bet my entire bank account that Trump doesn’t even know the ways government uses census data.
Trump is meaningless (no apostrophes needed) without his electorally awarded 'presidency'.
The citizenship question was always on the census...Obama removed it
Trumps not good with meanings
Cohen testified, but Muller silenced him.
So every census up until this point has been meaningless? Seems like a bold position to take...
He looks especially haggard there. Consistent with the media narrative that he's spiraling into the abyss.
Like he even know what meaningless means. realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse
The presidency is meaningless with him in the White House.
Census was here before he was and will be when he’s gone.
Yeah why would we need to know how many US citizens there are? That information is totally useless because reasons.
trial. This was reported on Sunday by the Associated Press
published. NEW YORK, March 25th. /. US special prosecutor Robert Muller, who conducted an investigation into the interference attributed to the Russian Federation in the American elections, did not participate in the drafting of the final report of the Justice Ministry on this
Citizenry is an absolute valid question.
Trump says something, but why are you silent? AP: Muller did not participate in the preparation of the report published following his investigation The agency also reports that the US Department of Justice briefed the White House on the contents of the report before it was
Trump is right again
World is ruled by lie & hypocrisy
