Barron Trump trending after dad Donald claims 'giant win' in birthright battle

Trump's shock Supreme Court victory sparked an online backlash about his own children's citizenships
Barron Trump began trending on social media on Friday shortly after his father's shock victory in his controversial birthright battle.
After the Supreme Court ruled to limit nationwide injunctions, former President Donald Trump took a victory lap online, declaring it a “GIANT WIN” and suggesting it could help clear the way to end birthright citizenship in America.
But as Trump cheered, critics on social media turned their attentions to his youngest son.
“When Barron Trump was born, Melania was not a U.S. citizen,” one post on X read. “Trump wants to end birthright citizenship– let’s start with his own family. Deport Melania and Barron.”
Another even brought Trump's entire brood into it, saying: “Barron was born in March 2006. His mother, Melania, became a U.S. citizen later that same year. Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric–all born before their mom Ivana became a citizen in 1988. So... all birthright citizens under Trump.”
The irony wasn’t lost on thousands online, who accused Trump of targeting immigrant families while benefiting from the very system he now wants to dismantle.
One tweet, with thousands of likes and re-shares simply re-iterated: As Trump moves to end birthright citizenship - it might be a good time to point out the fact that Ivana was not a US citizen when Don Jr, Ivanka & Eric were born and Melania was not a US citizen when Barron was born."
However those claims are not true as both Melania and Ivana were legal immigrants at the time of their children's births, while their father has always been a U.S. citizen.
Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social shortly after the Friday ruling, writing: "GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court! Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard. It had to do with the babies of slaves (same year!), not the SCAMMING of our Immigration process."
"Congratulations to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Solicitor General John Sauer, and the entire DOJ."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a dissent which denounced the ruling to limit injunctions as essentially allowing Trump to issue potentially unlawful orders. She added that birthright citizenship was guaranteed by the US Constitution.
Despite Trump’s celebration, the Supreme Court ruling did not address the legality of ending birthright citizenship. It simply narrowed how and when lower courts can issue nationwide injunctions.
