“On Monday, President Donald Trump took an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Short hours later, he violated that oath.
Trump has probably never read the U.S. Constitution; in 2022, he called for “termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
Trump signed on Monday an EO to end birthright citizenship, a direct violation of the Constitution, which cannot be changed by executive order.”
And so it begins…

I do agree with your conclusion, that what Trump did is against my own personal interpretation of the constitution. But one must admit there is nuance and an interpretation where it is entirely in line with the constitution.
It has long been held that children of "alien enemies" are not allowed citizenship due to the wording in the constitution that says "subject to the jurisdiction there of".
Now the reason I agree with you is I think it would be a huge leap, and factually incorrect, to try to label all illegal immigrants as "enemies". in fact making such a statement is laughable to me. But no doubt that is the angle being taken here and it does have some basis in reality, albeit absurdly.
