Trump says SCOTUS ruling on tariffs and birthright citizenship costing country ‘trillions and trillions of dollars’
Trump said the justices’ rulings on tariffs and birthright citizenship have cost the nation “trillions and trillions of dollars,” as he renewed attacks on the court.
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social attacking the Supreme Court, claiming rulings on Birthright Citizenship and TARIFFS cost the Nation 'TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.'
In February, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the President to impose TARIFFS, striking down his global tariff regime.
That June, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in Trump v. Barbara that ending Birthright Citizenship 'cannot be reconciled with the 14th Amendment to the Constitution,' upholding automatic citizenship for children born on United States soil.
Trump's attorneys have petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn an $83.3 million defamation judgment in favor of Jean Carroll, extending his legal conflict with the Court beyond policy disputes.
These judicial setbacks represent a pattern of losses for Trump as the Supreme Court simultaneously blocks his executive agenda while presiding over his personal litigation matters.
