Donald Trump is back at it—this time firing off a late-night rant that reads less like a presidential statement and more like a guy yelling at his TV.
Around 1 a.m., the 79-year-old president unloaded on the Supreme Court of the United States as it weighs whether he can bulldoze birthright citizenship with a stroke of a pen. And yes, his argument basically boils down to this: the justices should be watching Fox News.
Specifically, Trump is upset they didn’t tune into Mark Levin, who recently claimed the 14th Amendment doesn’t actually guarantee citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants.
“It’s too bad that the Supreme Court can’t watch and study the Mark Levin Show tonight on the Birthright Citizenship Scam. 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,” Trump raged on Truth Social.
He didn’t stop there. Trump also took a swing at the Court’s past tariff rulings, writing: “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.”
This meltdown comes just days after the Court heard arguments on Trump’s executive order to end automatic citizenship for children born on U.S. soil—a move already crushed by every lower federal court that’s looked at it.
And inside the courtroom? It didn’t go well for Trump.
He actually showed up in person for the April 1 hearing—and reportedly stormed out after watching his own legal arguments get dismantled in real time.
At one point, Chief Justice John Roberts shot down a key argument from Solicitor General D. John Sauer, who claimed modern realities require rethinking the Constitution.
“It’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution,” Roberts fired back.
Even Trump-appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch seemed unconvinced, pressing Sauer on whether his logic would exclude Native Americans from birthright citizenship. Sauer’s hesitant response—“Ah, I think… so”—didn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Meanwhile, Levin is out there warning the Court not to uphold birthright citizenship, saying, “you will be known as the most activist court in the history of the Supreme Court, and the damage is incalculable.”
For context, the 14th Amendment plainly states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States… are citizens.”
But Trump isn’t arguing the text. He’s arguing vibes—and late-night cable segments.
So now the spectacle is complete: a sitting president melting down online, attacking the nation’s highest court, and suggesting constitutional law should hinge on whether the justices caught a Sunday night TV show.
