AI Summary

President Trump publicly criticized the Supreme Court on Monday regarding two distinct issues: its ruling against his administration's tariffs and the justices' skepticism toward striking down birthright citizenship.

The President specifically referenced the "Mark Levin Show" in connection with his views on birthright citizenship, suggesting the Court should consider such perspectives.
