Big, Fat Mouth

Once again, Donald Trump is his own worst enemy. In a spontaneous meeting with reporters yesterday, he admitted the real reason he wants to include a citizenship question on the census.

"Number one, you need it for Congress — you need it for Congress for districting," he said.

Uh oh. Not only is that not the reason his administration provided to various federal courts as to why the question was needed, it was actually argued by his opponents that it was the true, secret reason.

Trump just admitted the question would be used to redraw congressional districts, which would just happen to benefit only Republicans and harm Democrats.

Per a piece in the Washington Post (link here), "many who oppose the citizenship question ... have argued that this is a thinly veiled attempt by Republicans to gain a potential game-changing tool in redistricting."

And Trump just flat out said they're correct.

Oops.
