Trump tears into Supreme Court with birthright citizenship 'hoax' rant

Source: The Independent

President Donald Trump has lashed out at the U.S. Supreme Court as it weighs the future of birthright citizenship, characterizing the issue as a “money making hoax.”

“It’s too bad that the Supreme Court can’t watch and study the Mark Levin Show tonight on the Birthright Citizenship Scam,” the president posted on Truth Social, late Easter Sunday.

“If they saw it they would never allow that money making HOAX to continue. THEY SHOULD USE THEIR POWERS OF COMMON SENSE FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY.

“They failed miserably on Tariffs, needlessly costing the USA Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in potential rebates for the benefit haters and scammers. Why??? Don’t do it again! The Country can only withstand so many bad decisions from a Court that just doesn’t seem to care.”

He seems to be hoping his normal intimidation tactics will sway the Supreme Court.

Or, he thinks he can just overturn with a kingly order. The Supreme Court's job is to interpret the Constitution. The Constitution says any baby born in this country is a U.S. citizen. Pretty simple, even for the simple minded.

this Supreme Court dominated by partisan ideologues has demonstrated its contempt for settled, accepted precedent.

Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate.

You mean that same "money making hoax" that you made sure YOU took advantage of with all those pregnant russian women that you rented anchor-baby rooms to at your over-priced Mierda Lardo?

NO WAY will the US Supreme Court decide who is a citizen or not going back many generations, lest they question their own citizenship.

Donnie Dipshit is too STUPID to realize he wants his own children by his 1st and 3rd wives denaturalized. Nor does he realize that the 14th Amendment makes NO MENTION of the immigration status of the mother or the father for that matter.
