President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for the Supreme Court to rehear the birthright citizenship case, following reports of billboards along the Southwest border advertising birth plans at U.S. hospitals.

In a post to Truth Social, the president said there were "signs and billboards" going up along the U.S. border with Mexico, advertising that deliveries started at $4,000, adding, "Billions of Dollars will be illegally made by this SCAM, with Citizenship going to anyone willing to pay."

Trump went on to call for the Supreme Court to rehear the birthright citizenship case, in which it recently rejected his attempt through executive order to alter the right mandated in the 14th Amendment. "This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don’t change their absolutely insane decision," Trump wrote.

The alleged scam to which Trump referred was believed to be an advertising campaign by the Mission Regional Medical Center (MRMC) in South Texas, which Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Tuesday was targeting illegal immigrants, offering them birth packages that would allow them to enter the U.S. to give birth to babies who would then be American citizens.

1. The Supreme Court is how he deals with women: He won't take no for an answer.

2. Like the scam he ran at Mar A Lago involving Russian women?

[Ray Bruns]

3. He'll have as much luck as his E. Jean Carroll case.

4. There are no backsies and do-overs at the SCOTUS, you worthless orange jizzblanket.

[onenote]

16. SCOTUS rules give him 25 days to file a petition for rehearing

5. He's pissed off because someone ELSE will be making the money.

[bluestarone]

6. Oh, i get it. More of hey, let's go to the SC then they will

Just DELAY their answer for me. (6 months at least)

[pat_k]

7. He "called on" SCOTUS to rehear the case?!??

That's hilarious!

Not even one of his incompetent, lunatic, lawyers is willing to actually file a motion?? So he just "calls on them" to act?

What? Does he have some fantasy that SCOTUS will heed his call and act on it's own motion?

[louis-t]

8. Like the scam he is running selling citizenship for $5 million?

Who's the scammer?

[thesquanderer]

9. "SCAM with Citizenship going to anyone willing to pay" - Right, that's only supposed to be for pardons. (n/t)

10. Translation

My legal team was a total abject disaster who failed to actually do what they were supposed to so I am demanding another bite at the apple because I read on the internet about Supreme Court Rule 44.

Rule 44 is going to be Trump's favorite rule as it allows him to get another shot after he tries to influence the justices with whatever their wildest desires are.

11. No means NO, you dumbass!

Nobody else gets to demand the Supremes undo their decisions. Now, pay E. Jean Carroll, and shut up!

[RainCaster]

12. He has NEVER been made to understand the meaning of NO

His parents are to blame for that.
He has spent his whole life being coddled through every situation. Losing in court only means an appeal. A woman saying no means "go ahead". His "negotiations" with Iran are a joke.

[Bayard]

13. Still acting like a spoiled brat

[hookaleft]

14. I would like to see some pictures of these signs.

I bet he is making it up.

[pcdb]

17. The billboards are real but it's just one small hospital in South Texas

And I don't think they'll be up for long.

15. So he gets a FIFA sanction overturned and suddenly he can just 'call upon' anything he disagrees with at SCOTUS?

What an extreme leap of logic he’s got there.
