They reserve that kind of nonsense for black and brown people for some reason. They even use logical somersaults to claim being born in America doesn't count if black, and it's OK to be born somewhere else if both parents are US citizens at the time of birth, unless white like Trump. Trump fails the both parents test because it's about race.

Nixon chose Spiro Agnew as his VP partly because he was the child of Greek immigrants.
