Trump Attends Supreme Court Arguments on Birthright Citizenship, Calls Policy 'STUPID' on Truth Social

President Trump made history by attending Supreme Court oral arguments on his executive order restricting birthright citizenship, becoming the first sitting president to be present for such proceedings. The Court appeared skeptical of his order, which would deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. After the arguments, Trump posted on Truth Social calling the U.S. 'STUPID' for allowing birthright citizenship—a demonstrably false claim as approximately 30+ countries including Canada, Mexico, and Brazil have similar policies. Days before the hearing, he had also attacked 'Dumb Judges and Justices' on the same platform. The case challenges a constitutional protection established in the 1898 Wong Kim Ark Supreme Court decision, which affirmed that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to nearly all persons born on U.S. soil.
