In a shocking display of liberal double standards, MSNBC’s Joy Reid suggested this week that a future Democrat president could retaliate against Donald Trump by targeting his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, for deportation.
Yes, you read that right. According to Reid, enforcing immigration law now could open the door for future political revenge—specifically against naturalized citizens like Melania.
During President Trump’s visit to a high-security immigrant detention center in the Florida Everglades—now dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by conservatives—he reaffirmed his commitment to cracking down on criminal aliens, including those who gained citizenship under questionable circumstances.
“They’ve been here a long time, but if they’re a threat, they should be removed,” Trump said. “Maybe that’s the next job.”
This commonsense remark triggered an immediate meltdown from the Left. The Department of Justice recently issued new guidance allowing U.S. attorneys more discretion to initiate denaturalization proceedings against convicted criminals—something most law-abiding Americans support.
But the liberal media went into full panic mode.
MSNBC host Joy Reid, joined by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), warned that if Trump continues down this path, Democrats might turn those same powers against his own family.
She asked: What if the next Democrat president says Melania Trump wasn’t born here—so she’s out?
Reid’s argument didn’t stop there. She went on to reference Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s late ex-wife, who was born overseas and was the mother of Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric Trump.
“Maybe the next Democrat president says, ‘I don’t like the Trumps. We’ll denaturalize them too.’”
Reid also dredged up the immigration history of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s grandfather, who reportedly faced deportation in the 1960s.
But here’s the truth: President Trump is enforcing the law. He’s not targeting people based on political beliefs—he’s protecting American families from criminal elements, no matter how long they’ve been here or how they entered.
The Left’s fear-mongering over Melania Trump shows just how desperate they’ve become. Instead of applauding the enforcement of immigration law, they fantasize about using that power for political vengeance.
What’s really at stake?
If Democrats are willing to float deporting the First Lady, what won’t they do?
This is why 2024 matters. Americans must stand with President Trump and defend the rule of law, our families, and our borders.
