Trump Melts Down in Unhinged SCOTUS Rant [View all]

Donald Trump has launched a furious tirade against the Supreme Court as he braces for a potential blow over his bid to end birthright citizenship for millions of Americans.

The court is expected to rule soon on whether Trump lacks the authority to override the citizenship protections guaranteed under the 14th Amendment, which states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States “are citizens of the United States.”

But sitting in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump lashed out at the conservative-dominated court, declaring that it would be a “disgrace” if it didn’t do what he wanted.

“Birthright citizen is done by no other country, no other country in the world the way we’re doing it—we’re a laughing stock,” Trump said, ignoring the fact that dozens of countries confer citizenship at birth with no conditions.

“And if the Supreme Court approves that decision, they have done a great disservice to the United States of America.”
