For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has guaranteed a simple promise: if you are born in the United States, you are an American citizen. Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a victory for the Constitution and for every American who believes that rights in this country still matter.
Birthright citizenship is not a loophole. It is a constitutional right.

So he can certainly afford to pay the amount Carroll has won in her lawsuit.

Trump requested a delay in payment and Carroll countered with a request for an expedited payout with interest.
President Donald Trump's lawyers have requested a delay in the $5.8 million he has been ordered to pay writer E. Jean Carroll. The U.S. Supreme Court announced on Monday, June 29, that it would not be hearing Trump's appeal of a 2023 jury verdict in New York that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, and ordered him to pay her the damages, which have been held in a court-controlled bank account in the years since. The court did not release an explanation or statement on its decision not to take up the case.Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, wrote in a court filing on Tuesday, June 30, that her client "does not consent" to Trump's delay in payment. She also wrote that Carroll, 82, is due an additional $779,783 in interest. Kaplan requested that the New York federal court "direct [Trump] to respond to the motion within seven days, or by July 7, 2026, rather than the usual fourteen days."
