Trump calls Supreme Court justices 'dumb' and 'stupid' ahead of birthright citizenship hearing

Two days before the Supreme Court was scheduled to hear arguments on his executive order restricting birthright citizenship, President Trump posted on Truth Social attacking the judiciary. He wrote 'Dumb Judges and Justices will not a great Country make!' and claimed other countries are 'laughing at how STUPID our U.S. Court System has become.' He also claimed birthright citizenship was meant for 'BABIES OF SLAVES' and not for wealthy foreigners, spreading historical disinformation about the 14th Amendment. The attack came despite previous warnings from Chief Justice John Roberts about 'dangerous' rhetoric targeting the courts, as the high court prepared to hear one of the most consequential constitutional cases in modern American history.
