Trump’s use of a naturalization ceremony seems to be a way to counteract attacks that he is xenophobic. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of going through a “legal” path. Again, I see this as a way to respond to attacks made by Democrats.

So the Homeland Security secretary, who the Government Accountability Office has suggested is illegally appointed, is naturalizing people in the middle of the RNC. My goodness. Trump definitely wants to flout norms and have the media and Democrats debate him on that basis while he pardons people and makes them citizens.
