    Trump doesn’t need to do anything, US citizenship is automatically revoked when a person becomes an employee or official of another state.

    Even so, the person in question needs to submit the paperwork and pay the $2300 fee for loss of citizenship.

            They’ll just keep expecing you to pay US taxes on your non-US income and assets, but if it comes down to it withhold privileges only afforded to citizens.

      Those laws are not for the ruling class. It’ll be treated as an exception.
