Donald Trump has made a controversial statement about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. On Wednesday, the President seemingly called Jackson, who was appointed by Joe Biden, a “low IQ person” as well as slammed the Supreme Court for their recent rulings.
Donald Trump calls Ketanji Brown Jackson ‘low IQ person’
In an April 22 Truth Social post, Donald Trump made an eyebrow-raising remark about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, calling her a “low-IQ person.” The President penned the lengthy rant to criticize the Supreme Court for blocking his tariff plans and his effort to end birthright citizenship.
Although Trump did not mention Jackson by name, he referred to the “new” female justice appointed by Joe Biden. The description points to Jackson, whom the former President nominated to the high court in 2022.
“How can the Democrats not like how the U.S. Supreme Court votes,” Trump wrote. “The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, NEVER failing to wander from the warped and perverse policies, ideas, and cases put before them.”
The POTUS went on to state, “They ALWAYS vote as a group, or BLOCK, even that new, Low IQ person, that somehow found her way to the bench (Sleepy Joe!),” seemingly referring to Jackson.
Trump then slammed the Supreme Court for ruling against his executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship in the U.S., as well as his tariff proposals. He wrote, “certain ‘Republican’ Justices have just gone weak, stupid, and bad, completely violating what they ‘supposedly’ stood for.”
The President called the tariff decision a “travesty,” stating that it was “an unnecessary and expensive slap in the face to the U.S.A.”
Trump further stated, “If they rule against our Country on Birthright Citizenship, which they probably will, it will be even worse, if that’s possible. It will cost America massive amounts of money, but more importantly, it will cost America its DIGNITY!”
The statement comes just weeks after Trump’s proposal to end “birthright citizenship” was blocked by multiple justices who raised concerns about the potential impact of enforcing such an executive order.
