President Donald Trump lashed out at the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday, contending that major rulings this year regarding tariffs and birthright citizenship have inflicted enormous financial harm on the nation. In a Truth Social post, Trump questioned how much “Money and Prestige” the court’s decisions had cost the country, declaring the cumulative damage to be “TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.”
The Supreme Court earlier this year invalidated Trump’s tariff authority, determining that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not grant presidents the power to unilaterally impose levies. The justices also struck down an executive order Trump had issued in the previous year that sought to deny birthright citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants and temporary visa holders.
Trump’s rejected executive order sought to prevent federal agencies from issuing citizenship documents to individuals whose mothers were unlawfully present in the United States at the time of birth and whose fathers were neither citizens nor lawful permanent residents. The same restrictions applied to cases where mothers held temporary legal status but fathers lacked citizenship or permanent residency status.
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution establishes that all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction are citizens. Trump appointed three of the nine current justices—Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett—during his first presidency.
