So if he ends birthright citizenship, does that mean we get to deport his ass back to Germany?

No thanks, we don't want him.
But it would sure be funny to see him live through integration processes which are restrictive and mean as hell.
We'll send him halfway back, and let you decide whether or not to bring him the other half.
It's fine we can send him on to a "secure third state" just like any other refugee that's deemed undesirable. I propose Canada.
Loooooooooool. Peak German humor.
I see you know nothing of our Friedrich Merz.
But still: great even if involuntary.
Drumpf
Does it say Drumpf?
Edit: Actually for real though, second name from the bottom? My eyes are weedy.
Didn’t that turn out to not be true?
Hmm.
Seems legit according to Wikipedia:
According to biographer Gwenda Blair, the family descended from an itinerant lawyer, Hanns Drumpf, who settled in Kallstadt, a village in the Electoral Palatinate of the Holy Roman Empire, in 1608, and whose descendants changed their name from Drumpf to Trump during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).[31] The last name Trump is on record in Kallstadt since the 18th century.[32] Journalist Kate Connolly, visiting Kallstadt, found several variations in spelling of the surname in the village archives, including Drumb, Tromb, Tromp, Trum, Trumpff, and Dromb.[33]
But also way earlier than relevant or than I thought.
Drumb tho.
I'm going to have so many nicknames for this idiot!
guilt-framed
Gilt Gilted as in gold.
Edit: OOP didn't realize this was a pun.
Why would you try to "correct" someone trying to make a pun?
Oh I didn't realize sorry :!
i know but there is definitely a double entendre in there.
Sure seems like some trolling to me.
I'm not sure about that:
Merz has focused on economic, foreign, security, and family policies. He is seen as a representative of the pro-business wings of the CDU.[15] He is viewed as an economic liberal who makes some concessions to conservative party members who stress the need for social engagement. Merz embraces some conservative social policies regarding families, although the Berliner Morgenpost says he is not as "dogmatic" as in his early polticial career.[116] He is associated with neoliberalism.[117]
As a young politician in the 1970s and 1980s, he was a staunch supporter of anti-communism, the dominant state doctrine of West Germany and a core tenet of the CDU. His book Mehr Kapitalismus wagen (transl: Venturing More Capitalism) advocates economic liberalism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Merz#Political_positions
All of that indicates he'd hate Trump, who is upending the neoliberal global capitalist order that Germany has done so well under...
On top of that, Vance and Musk openly backed Merz's rivals in the AfD
But the CDU have done everything to appeal to AfD voters for decades. To the point that they are now so close that there's significant overlap.
the AfD is NOT the rival of the CDU lmao
They are actually very similar, the CDU just isnt as extremist yet, but give it 5 years or so. Both parties promote isolation, fake news about immigrants, hate and are generally only motivated by money. Extremely corrupt. In Germany we lost when Merz became chancellor, you think we beat the Nazis, no, we voted over 50% right to far right. We just stalled the inevitable a couple of years to hopefully beat Russia in time to stop the constant flood of propaganda. Merz is powerhungry and nothing more, has been the CEO for BlackRock Germany and is doing A LOT of ~~corrupt~~ lobbying work for our industry.
Yeah no. Merz is a Trump fanboy and a closeted nazi pig.
I think nazi pig is a slight exaggeration. I'd call him a nazi sympathiser.
Full marks on Trump fanboi though.
Wasn't he forbidden to return due to skipping compulsory military service?
I thought that's why he started the illegal white house in Alaska, then Trump's dad took that money to NYC.
Dang, he comes from a line of draft dodgers? That would make sense.
The grift is strong and runs deep in the Drumpf line
Hold on, what? Illegal white house in Alaska?
I think it may be an autocorrect issue. On my phone I get "white house" when I type "whore house". Which in itself is a bit amusing.
If only we could swap the White House for a whore house. It'd be much more classy and respectable.
Yeah, the Trump family has really gone downhill.
Ouch, right in the Reich!
Geld?
