especially if it also leads to an inaccurate count of what the constitution mandates for the census?

The census long form is not and was not what the vast vast majority received, but more to the point, the info (citizenship included)once gathered on the long from (1970 - 2000) has since 2000 been asked on a supplementary survey sent to 3.5 million in non-census years.  Statistic experts tell us that the information obtained on these inquiries is as accurate, and usually more accurate, than it would be if asked of everyone.  Now I know Trump does not believe in ''science'' including, apparently, statistical mathematics, but I would have thought a doctor would give the nod to science.

I have never read the Washington Examiner so do not assume to comment on their accuracy.  I do know Barack Obama never gave a 90 minute speech where he used his own name 400 times.  He did give a much shorter speech in which he used ''I'' and ''my'' many times...but most of the reference were regarding his ''hope'' for what good things were to come.  Barack Obama would say something along the line of ''I have great hope that the nations of the world will find a way to live in peace.''  Trump would say ''I am the only person capable of understanding what is good for America and bringing it about.''  There is the poitics of ''hope'' and then there is the politics of ''me''!
