In a long post on social media, he criticized the justices in strong terms and predicted they would rule against him on birthright citizenship.<br \/>\n&#8211; He claimed Democratic justices act in lockstep and never stray from liberal policies, while accusing Republican-appointed justices of a lack of unity.<br \/>\n&#8211; He highlighted what he described as a split among Republican-appointed justices and criticized the court for decisions he views as harmful to his agenda.<br \/>\n&#8211; Trump pointed to the February ruling that blocked his administration\u2019s sweeping tariff measures, calling it a major financial blow to Americans and a travesty.<br \/>\n&#8211; He referenced the ongoing case Trump v. Barbara regarding birthright citizenship, noting skepticism from several justices appointed by Trump or other Republicans.<br \/>\n&#8211; He argued the court would allow countries like China to benefit from birthright citizenship, warning that ruling against birthright citizenship would be costly and damage America\u2019s dignity.<br \/>\n&#8211; He dismissed Democratic calls to \u201cpack the Court\u201d by expanding its size, insisting that the Court is already packed and arguing the expansion is unnecessary.<br \/>\n&#8211; (The message also contained promotional and site-specific elements unrelated to the paraphrased political content.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2593889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/trump-for-april-22-2026.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[78348,3685,5894,6994,3634],"class_list":["post-2593888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-court-packing-2","tag-democrats","tag-politics","tag-scotus","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/trump-for-april-22-2026.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2593888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2593888"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2593888\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2593892,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2593888\/revisions\/2593892"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2593889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2593888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2593888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2593888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
