President Donald Trump has again sharply criticized the Supreme Court on social media, predicting the justices will rule against him on birthright citizenship and accusing members of the conservative majority—three of which he nominated—of undermining his economic agenda by striking down his tariffs.
“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!” Trump wrote in a lengthy post on Truth Social.
The Supreme Court is preparing to decide Trump v. Barbara, a high‑stakes constitutional challenge to Trump’s Executive Order 14160, which seeks to deny citizenship to children born on American soil to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily. The case was argued on April 1, and a decision—which could affirm or alter over a century of U.S. citizenship law—is expected by early summer.
Trump has already signaled that he expects to lose, pointing to the High Court’s February ruling that invalidated his sweeping tariffs imposed under emergency powers, a decision that triggered a widespread federal refund program for importers.

Trump attended oral arguments, becoming the first sitting president to do so, and later wrote on social media that the United States is “the only Country in the World” with birthright citizenship, a claim he repeated in Sunday’s Truth Social post.
While unconditional birthright citizenship is not universal, more than 30 countries recognize it. These countries are largely in the Americas and include Canada, Mexico, Argentina and Brazil.

The Supreme Court is expected to issue its birthright citizenship ruling by summer, determining whether the president can narrow the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause and how agencies must treat the status of children born in the United States to noncitizen parents.
