Washington: US President Donald Trump has reposted a letter by radio host Michael Savage which referred to India, China and other nations as "hellholes". In his racist rant calling for changes in the United States' birthright citizenship law, Savage claimed people from the two Asian nations come to the US to "drop a baby in the ninth month", and the law turns them into "instant" US citizens.
"A baby here becomes an instant citizen, and then they bring in their entire family from China, or India, or some other hellhole on the planet," he wrote in the letter.
Trump reported Savage's racist rant on his Truth Social platform a day after he made false claims that "no country in the world" offers birthright citizenship other than the United States during an interview with CNBC.
In reality, about three dozen countries provide automatic citizenship to people born on their soil, including US neighbours Canada and Mexico and the majority of South American countries.
