Trump urges the Supreme Court to lift a lower court order that halted work at the White House, sharing a Fox News opinion column that backs his push.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump called on the Supreme Court to urgently allow construction at the White House to move forward, in a post that shared a Fox News opinion column making the same case.
Trump framed the request as a matter needing swift action from the nation’s highest court. He linked directly to the column by mentioning the source (see foxnews).

The post points readers to a Fox News opinion piece under the outlet’s recurring “Morning Glory” column banner, published on the site’s opinion section according to foxnews. Trump’s message repeats the column’s core argument that the Supreme Court should act quickly on the construction question.
The subject appears in coverage archived by trump-archive, which logged the same call for the Supreme Court to allow White House construction to proceed. Trump used his account to amplify the argument to his followers rather than to announce a new government action.
