"That beautiful ending to Trump's SOTU address reminds me why we can't have a second-, third-, or fourth- generation immigrant as president. Love for our country has to be in your genes."
"Coulter has bragged for years about her maternal lineage dating back to colonial times, and reporters have traced her paternal family back to her great-great grandparents' generation immigrating to America from Ireland and Germany. Some swift genealogical math reveals that this would make Coulter a fifth-generation American on her father's side; unsurprisingly, she set her rule for who should qualify to be president so she'd be in."
Ann Coulter tweeted support for Trump's State of the Union address but added a controversial suggestion that the presidency should be restricted to those with multiple generations of U.S. citizenship, arguing that love for the country must be genetic. Her proposal drew widespread mockery when observers realized it would bar prominent Republican presidents including Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan from office. Coulter's own genealogy reveals she is a fifth-generation American on her father's side, with ancestors immigrating from Ireland and Germany, suggesting she crafted her rule specifically to include herself while excluding others. The tweet exemplifies the contradictions inherent in restrictive immigration positions.
