I post that there is no such thing as a ‘true American’ because the term is one without an official definition. It changes to suit the speaker.
Does it mean citizen, native born, patriot, supporter of the current government?
These days I find it used to accuse non-followers of the political right of being less than ‘American’

If one googles true American the responses are about a drinking game.

In the early 1970s when I was protesting the war in Viet Nam I was accused of not being a True American. I took my chances in the draft lottery unlike Private Bone Spurs or GW Bush pretending to fly jets in the Texas Air National Guard while not showing up regularly.

I am active in politics, have never missed voting since I was able to vote in 1972, pay my taxes and am not afraid to question government officials. Nowhere is it written that an Anerican has to have blind allegiance to any elected official
