Trump says Supreme Court 'doesn't seem to care' after tariff ruling, birthright citizenship doubts
President Trump on Monday attacked the Supreme Court, saying the justices "don't seem to care" about the country. He was angry about their February ruling that struck down his global tariffs and their doubts about ending birthright citizenship.
President Trump lashed out at the Supreme Court on Monday, saying the justices "don't seem to care" about America after recent setbacks to his agenda.
Trump was responding to two major issues. In February, the Supreme Court struck down his sweeping global tariffs in a 6-3 ruling. The justices said Trump had improperly used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a law meant for national emergencies.
Trump also criticized the court over birthright citizenship. Many justices have shown considerable doubt about his plan to end the constitutional right that makes anyone born in the US a citizen.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump said the court "failed miserably on Tariffs, needlessly costing the USA Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in potential rebates." He suggested people watch a TV show about birthright citizenship to understand his position.
The attacks show Trump's frustration with a court that includes three justices he appointed. His tariff and immigration policies were central campaign promises, but the court has become an unexpected roadblock to his restrictive agenda.
This shows growing tension between Trump and the Supreme Court, which could affect major policies on immigration and trade. The court's decisions impact who can become a US citizen and how much you pay for imported goods.
Watch for more Supreme Court decisions on Trump's immigration policies and any further public criticism from the president.
