Former President Donald Trump this week announced on his Truth Social platform that he would issue an executive order ending birthright citizenship in the United States, despite the fact this policy is enshrined in the United States Constitution by the 14th Amendment.
Ben Domenech, a conservative Fox News contributor and cofounder of The Federalist, panned Trump's newest idea and argued that it would simply never come to pass given that a single executive order cannot repeal a fully ratified constitutional amendment.
"Promising things that can't be done via executive order then blaming the system when those orders are blocked is how Trump governed before and would govern again," Domenech commented on Twitter.
He then went on to predict how the entire ordeal would play out should Trump once again become president.

"Step 1: Trump issues day one Executive Order overturning 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship," he wrote. "Step 2: Judge blocks order immediately Step 3: Trump complains, probably insulting judge's heritage Step 4: Trump DOJ (purposefully?) loses case, cementing birthright citizenship."
Domenech concluded that Trump would do such a thing simply to reinforce his voters' belief that he is treated unfairly by the "Deep State," despite the fact that judges, in this case, would simply be following established constitutional law.
"Losers always whine about doing their best," he commented.
