US President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on birthright citizenship on social media just as the Supreme Court of the United States heard arguments on his administration’s attempt to restrict the long-standing constitutional principle.
Posting on his platform Truth Social ahead of the hearing, Trump wrote: “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” He followed it up with a broader critique of the judiciary, adding: “Dumb Judges and Justices will not a great Country make!” The remarks set the tone for a politically charged case that could reshape how citizenship is defined in the United States.
