NEW: Trump Calls Out Two Supreme Court Justices, Hints At Incoming Ruling On Birthright Citizenship

Published

President Donald Trump blasted two of his own Supreme Court appointees in a lengthy social media post Sunday night, accusing them of siding against the country in a major tariffs case and warning they could soon do the same on birthright citizenship.

In a 545-word post on Truth Social, Trump took aim at Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett after the high court struck down his administration’s use of emergency powers to impose tariffs.

“I don’t want loyalty, but I do want and expect it for our Country,” Trump’s 545-word Truth Social post read Sunday night, showing his disappointment in Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. “Yes, I have another way of doing Tariffs, but it is far slower, and more laborious than what was just determined, in a close decision, to be ‘illegal’ or ‘unconstitutional,’ with three powerful, and highly accurate, dissents! Well, maybe Neil, and Amy, just had a really bad day, but our Country can only handle so many decisions of that magnitude before it breaks down, and cracks!!!”

“Sometimes decisions have to be allowed to use Good, Strong, Common Sense as a guide.”

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in late February that Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs for national security and trade purposes was unconstitutional. Gorsuch and Barrett joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s liberal bloc — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — in the majority.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.

Trump argued the ruling could cost the U.S. $159 billion in repayments tied to tariffs already collected.

“A negative ruling on Birthright Citizenship, on top of the recent Supreme Court Tariff catastrophe, is not Economically sustainable for the United States of America!”

The president also predicted the court could rule against him in a pending case involving birthright citizenship, a decision expected by early summer. Trump has pushed to curb what he calls “birth tourism,” in which foreign nationals travel to the U.S. to give birth and secure citizenship for their children.

“I choose people to help our Country, not to hurt it,” Trump’s post read, “and now, based on what I witnessed recently by being the first President in History to attend a Supreme Court session (Which fact was not even recognized or acknowledged, out of respect for the position of President, by the Court — Something which did not go unnoticed by the Fake News Media!), they will be ruling against us on Birthright Citizenship, making us the only Country in the World that practices this unsustainable, unsafe, and incredibly costly DISASTER.”

Trump said he was particularly frustrated that the ruling did not explicitly block companies from seeking repayment of tariffs already paid.

“They could have solved that situation with a ‘tiny’ sentence, ‘Any money paid by others to the United States does not have to be paid back,'” Trump wrote. “Why wouldn’t they have done so?”

“I ‘Love’ Justice Neil Gorsuch! He’s a really smart and good man, but he voted against me, and our Country, on Tariffs, a devastating move,” Trump’s post began. “How do I reconcile this? So bad, and hurtful to our Country. I have, likewise, always liked and respected Amy Coney Barrett, but the same thing with her.”

“They were appointed by me, and yet have hurt our Country so badly! I do not believe they meant to do so, but their decision on Tariffs cost the United States 159 Billion Dollars that we have to pay back to enemies, and people, companies, and Countries, that have been ripping us off for years. It’s hardly believable!”

Trump also floated the idea of expanding the court, flipping a long-standing Democratic talking point.

“With certain Republican Nominated Justices that we have on the Supreme Court, the Democrats don’t really need to ‘PACK THE COURT’ any longer. In fact, I should be the one wanting to PACK THE COURT!”

He closed by contrasting conservative and liberal justices, arguing the latter remain aligned with the presidents who appointed them.

“I’m working so hard to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and then people that I appointed have shown so little respect to our Country, and its people,” he continued. “What is the reason for this? They have to do the right thing, but it’s really OK for them to be loyal to the person that appointed them to ‘almost’ the highest position in the land, that is, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court.”

“Democrat Justices always remain true to the people that honored them for that very special Nomination. They don’t waver, no matter how good or bad a case may be, but Republican Justices often go out of their way to oppose me, because they want to show how ‘independent’ or, ‘above it all,’ they are.”
