Cardona Discusses Possible Trump Policy
You could see it coming from a mile away: NBC’s Meet the Press interview with President-elect Donald Trump turned into a textbook example of media bias. Kristen Welker pressed Trump on his age and health, demanding he release his medical records.
Trump agreed, but the exchange brought a familiar issue roaring back into the spotlight—the glaring double standard in how the media treated Joe Biden’s cognitive fitness during his presidency.

Under Biden, the press conveniently ignored what was apparent to anyone paying attention: the man was not up to the job. Reporters parroted assurances from Biden’s handlers that he was “sharp as a tack,” despite mounting evidence to the contrary.
It all fell apart during the June debate, where Biden faced off against Trump and got utterly steamrolled. The disastrous performance was not just a wake-up call; it was an election killer, solidifying doubts about Biden’s ability to lead. The media, complicit in propping him up, were left red-faced.
🚨Trump wants an end to birthright citizenship in the US:

Trump, in contrast, handled the tough questions with his characteristic confidence, using the platform to double down on key policy points. One issue that sent liberals into hysterics was his plan to end birthright citizenship. Trump’s proposal to reevaluate this longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment has been a rallying cry for his supporters and a lightning rod for his critics.
Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship would mean 4 of his children wouldn’t be considered US citizens:
Don Jr – born in 1977
Ivanka – born in 1981
Eric – born in 1984
Ivana – became a US citizen in 1988Barron – born in March 2006
Melania – became a US citizen in July 2006 pic.twitter.com/OpIssJg77t— anyone_want_chips (@anyonewantchips) December 9, 2024
By Monday, the fallout was in full swing. CNN’s Maria Cardona—herself a U.S. citizen—delivered a melodramatic tirade, wildly claiming she could face deportation under Trump’s policy. It was a classic case of the left’s hyperbole on immigration policy, deliberately distorting the intent and scope of the proposal to stoke fear. Trump’s critics seem eager to turn any debate on immigration into a doomsday scenario, even when their claims veer into the absurd.
