trump did not have fun at the part of the hearing he attended. It is not good form to leave a court proceeding before such proceeding is over. trump may be unhappy that the conservatives on SCOTUS were NOT buying Sauer's arguments

President Donald Trump reportedly left a Supreme Court hearing early after conservative Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and John Roberts seemed skeptical of ending birthright citizenship.

Shortly following Solicitor General John Sauer's arguments against birthright citizenship, Trump was seen leaving the court, according to NBC News and a pool report.

During oral arguments, Roberts suggested that the U.S. Constitution protected the notion of birthright citizenship.

"We're in a new world where 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who's a US citizen," Sauer argued.

"It's a new world. It's the same Constitution," Roberts said.
