Trump blasts 'dumb judges and justices' in early-morning Supreme Court case tirade

As the Supreme Court considers the Trump administration’s attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship – enshrined in 1868 through the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution – President Donald Trump took to social media Monday to lash out at “dumb judges and justices” who would oppose such efforts, all while giving his followers a brief history lesson.

“Birthright Citizenship is not about rich people from China, and the rest of the World, who want their children, and hundreds of thousands more, FOR PAY, to ridiculously become citizens of the United States of America,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

“It is about the BABIES OF SLAVES! We are the only Country in the World that dignifies this subject with even discussion. Look at the dates of this long ago legislation - THE EXACT END OF THE CIVIL WAR! The World is getting rich selling citizenships to our Country, while at the same time laughing at how STUPID our U.S. Court System has become (TARIFFS!). ‘Dumb Judges and Justices will not a great Country make!’”
