A quick definition of Self-declared trust:

A self-declared trust is when someone says that they own something, but they are really holding it for someone else. It's like if you were holding a toy for your friend and you said, "This toy is mine, but I'm keeping it safe for my friend." The person who owns the toy is your friend, but you are taking care of it for them. In the same way, someone can say they own something, but really they are taking care of it for someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

Self-declared trust

A self-declared trust is when someone who owns something declares that they now own it for someone else's benefit.

Example 1: John owns a house and declares that he now owns it for the benefit of his daughter, Sarah.

Example 2: Mary owns a car and declares that she now owns it for the benefit of her friend, Tom.

In both examples, the individuals who own the property declare that they now own it for someone else's benefit. This means that although they legally own the property, they are holding it in trust for someone else. This is known as a self-declared trust.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
