When will a reporter ask Trump if the United States is Melania's own country?

When Trump says of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar...

"She’s telling us how to run our country. How did you do where you came from? How’s your country doing? "

... it practically begs those same questions of Melania, who gave plenty of advice to Americans about how the U.S. should be run during her prime time keynote TV address to the nation. By Trump's logic, shouldn't she be confined to only giving Americans advice about Slovenia? Both Melania Trump and Ilhan Omar arrived in the United States in 1995, but Omar has been a citizen of the United States for six years longer than has Melania Trump. Furthermore, Omar has been a U.S. citizen for her entire adult life, officially becoming an American at age 17 whereas Melania was already 36 when she was nationalized.

But it seems Donald Trump believes that it is only African Americans who can not call the United States their country after they become citizens of it. Surprise, surprise

to provide her visa documents and clear up the questions about whether she worked under false pretenses and violated the law when she first arrived. After all, Rapist45 promised during the 2016 campaign that she would do it "in a couple of weeks."

since he has creepy feelings for her, and it would also reflect on him if he were to declare her not-American.
