"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."
"President Trump is a second generation immigrant through his Scottish-born mother and a third generation immigrant through his German-born paternal grandparents. The idea that having a lineage of predecessors who were born in the U.S. makes a person more noble is unvarnished nativism."
"Some people suggested that what Coulter really meant to say was that Trump is white and that the immigration status of his parents and grandparents is unimportant because white immigrants, to Coulter, are different from non-white immigrants."
Ann Coulter faced widespread online criticism for stating that U.S. presidents cannot be second-, third-, or fourth-generation immigrants because patriotism must be genetic. Her statement is contradicted by Trump's own family history: his mother was born in Scotland and his paternal grandparents were born in Germany, making him a second and third-generation immigrant respectively. Additionally, Trump married immigrant women and had children with them. Critics highlighted the hypocrisy and suggested Coulter's real concern is race rather than immigration status, as white immigrants appear acceptable to her while non-white immigrants do not. Commenters emphasized that love of country stems from life experiences, not genetics or ancestry.
