President Donald Trump criticized the U.S. Supreme Court on social media platform X on September 19, saying its rulings over the past six months on tariffs and birthright citizenship “lacked courage” and were “faulty, political, and ridiculous,” costing the country trillions of dollars and permanently damaging how people become citizens.
Trump wrote: “Unfortunately, the United States Supreme Court has lacked the Courage to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Over the last 6 months, with their faulty, political, and ridiculous decisions on TARIFFS and Birthright Citizenship, they have cost the United States of America Trillions of Dollars, and forever damaged the way people become Citizens of our great Country. It has been a sad chapter in the life and times of America, but we will prevail! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
The President’s remarks target recent Supreme Court decisions on immigration and trade policy. He did not specify which rulings, but asserted they had long-term economic and national identity consequences. The White House and the Supreme Court have not yet responded.
