Unfortunately that's not technically true. Trump's grandfather reportedly immigrated to the US in 1885, and Puerto Rico was first obtained by the US from the Spanish in 1898.

According to these sources:

No need to go back that far. Trump's mom was born in Scotland and only became a US citizen in the 1942 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Anne_MacLeod_Trump.

Though admittedly idk anything about Bad Bunny's family and the whole concept of how American your family is pretty dumb

So...she was only a citizen for four years when Trump was born?

I bet this fuck probably would deport his own mother.

He's an anchor baby.

Immigrated in 1885 but not a citizen until 1892. Still earlier I guess though.

When did Trump's grandfather gain citizenship?

EDIT: 1892

That source states that his ancestor immigrated to the US but it doesn't state he became a citizen automatically. Perhaps citizenship or perhaps just legal residency? I don't care enough to search but the post isn't disproved by that link.
