Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is at it again, proving that age does not necessarily bring wisdom—just more outrageous claims. As her 87th birthday approaches, her senility might be starting to show, yet this isn’t the first time she has gone full throttle off the deep end. At a recent protest in Los Angeles, attended by a crowd fixated on opposing the Trump administration, Waters seized the opportunity to blend her usual theatrics with a bewildering suggestion: deporting none other than Melania Trump.
The protest was ostensibly aimed at criticizing the administration’s efforts to streamline the federal government, a noble intention if ever there was one. One has to wonder why people are protesting against someone working to save taxpayer dollars. It’s almost as if they enjoy the government’s spending spree. But the drama took an astonishing turn when Waters volleyed an absurd idea into the mix, breeding confusion for anyone still trying to decipher her rationale. It appears that her fear of losing political traction might be catalyzing her latest attempts at gaining attention.
Waters went on about birthright citizenship, a legal principle that’s been around longer than her lengthy political career. She suggested that if Trump was going to start investigating the citizenship of everyone born in this country to undocumented parents, he should first take a closer look at his own wife. It seems Maxine has a sum of ignorance that cannot be understated, not realizing that Melania Trump became a naturalized citizen in a completely legal manner, unlike the scenarios she seems to conjure from thin air. Perhaps she is just banking on her audience not knowing better.
Crazy Congresswoman Says Melania Should Be Deportedhttps://t.co/Xp2ITJBPiR

Truly, it’s baffling. Melania, originally from Slovenia, moved to the United States in 1996, married Trump in 2005, and became a naturalized citizen shortly after. Unlike many who flout immigration laws, her path to citizenship was respectable and in compliance with U.S. regulations. To suggest deporting her is not only ludicrous; it’s an affront to understanding the legal immigration process—a process Melania has spoken candidly about, detailing her own trials and frustrations with red tape.
To top it all off, Waters’ comments did not fly under the radar. Entrepreneur Elon Musk noticed the absurdity of Waters’ proclamations and even re-shared details with a wry commentary hinting that her past could be catching up with her. An intriguing thought, as the world watches the consequences of her outbursts unfurl. The whole situation serves up a prime opportunity for popcorn and entertainment as the tides of political fury continue to ebb and flow around Waters and her dramatic antics.
Clearly, Maxine’s grasp on reality has long been questionable, elevated now by her desperate attempts to rekindle interest, even when it comes at the expense of decency and facts. The suggestion that Melania should face scrutiny merely serves as a demonstration of how far removed Waters has become from logical discourse. The last thing anyone wants is for Congress members to start tossing around ridiculous deportation orders based on hasty assumptions while the rest of the country seeks rationality and stability.
