Trump calls America 'stupid' after abruptly leaving Supreme Court debate [View all]
Source: The Independent UK
President Donald Trump has branded the U.S. “stupid” after attending Supreme Court arguments over his administration's efforts to end birthright citizenship.
He left halfway through the proceedings, and several key justices, including three Trump appointed to the nine-member bench, appeared skeptical of the administration’s arguments to block automatic citizenship.
After the arguments wrapped, Trump ranted on Truth Social, writing, “We are the only country in the world STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!”
Thirty-two other countries, most of them in the Western Hemisphere, have birthright citizenship laws that are substantially similar to the U.S., according to the Pew Research Center. Another 50 or so countries have more limited variations of birthright citizenship.

After arguments concluded, he said the U.S. is “the only Country in the World STUPID enough” to grant citizenship at birth, despite more than 30 other countries with similar policies.
Several key justices, including three Trump appointed to the nine-member bench, appeared skeptical of the arguments from U.S. solicitor general D. John Sauer. A decision is expected by June or July.
No sitting president has attended Supreme Court arguments in the nation’s history, and Trump’s unprecedented attendance raised critical questions over his antagonistic relationship with a judiciary that has repeatedly ruled against him.
