The act of making this announcement at this particular point in time and saying he will do something is a move.  Is he just giving his base red meat, does he really believe or willing to remove Birthright Citizenship with an Executive Order, is it a bluff who the hell knows but one thing for sure, the timing suggest he believes it benefit him and the GOP.

"The act of making this announcement at this particular point in time and saying he will do something is a move."

even though he hasn't actually done anything?

Do you really believe he actually has to do something for it to not be a move.  Do you think politics is so black and white that the threat of something cannot be just as effective as actual action.  Remember this is before elections as he drums up support.  After the elections who knows if he will do anything.  Is this any difference between a campaign promise for votes before you get into office.
