President Donald Trump raged against the Supreme Court in a Truth Social tirade on Wednesday evening, saying that recent rulings on his tariffs and birthright citizenship have cost America “TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS.”
“Does anybody have any idea how much Money and Prestige the United States Supreme Court has cost our Nation with their negative Rulings on Birthright Citizenship and TARIFFS?” the president asked in his post just after 6 p.m. ET.
“The answer, TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!”
In a 6-3 ruling back in February, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs are illegal, a decision Trump called a “disgrace” at the time.
In June, the court essentially upheld the nation’s 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship for those “born or naturalized” in the United States.
The ruling was a serious blow to Trump, who declared in an executive order on the first day of his second term that children born to illegal immigrants, or those in the country temporarily, are not U.S. citizens.
