CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers raised the issue of citizenship regarding the Trump children in response to the new detention center for illegal aliens, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.”
“Look, if we want to have a conversation about who belongs where, when, how, and whether or not their citizenship status- and we want to look at everything, I mean, I would look at Donald Trump Jr.,” Sellers said on “CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillips.” “I would look at all of Melania‘s kids, all of Ivana‘s kids. I mean, let‘s just have a full conversation over who belongs here, how did they get here, and their citizenship status.”
“Let‘s just have a full discussion about all of it,” he continued. “Why is that not on the table right now? I mean, the only person here should be Tiffany Trump, if we‘re going to have this discussion.”
Ok, let’s have a look.
As it turns out, all of the Trump kids were born in the U.S. Donald Trump’s late ex-wife, Ivana Trump, and mother of Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr., was born in the Czech Republic before becoming a US citizen in 1988, Fox News reported. Slovenia-born Melania Trump, mother of Barron, became a U.S. citizen in 2006.
So, there’s that.
Sellers earned a well-deserved ribbing on X:

But, his performance on CNN didn’t get any better when the conversation turned to what to label the presumed next New York City mayor, A “communist” or “socialist”?
@ScottJenningsKY battles Bakari Sellers who is riled up over the idea that Mamdani is being called a “communist.”
Sellers: He’s a socialist.
Jennings: He’s using the language of the Bolsheviks, is he not?
Sellers: No, he’s not. He’s a socialist.
Jennings: Seizing the means… pic.twitter.com/EtDWGUpiMv

As X users agreed, when people show you who they are, believe them.
