Don’t count it out just yet.

President Trump on Tuesday revealed that he’s instructed the Justice Department and Commerce Department to do “whatever is necessary” to get a citizenship question on the 2020 census — just hours after his administration said it would not fight a Supreme Court decision that struck the question from the forms.

Earlier in the day, a Justice Department lawyer said the feds would produce the census forms without the citizenship question — a question critics have said was designed to intimidate illegal immigrants and green card holders from participating in the once-a-decade count.

“A very sad time for America when the Supreme Court of the United States won’t allow a question of ‘Is this person a Citizen of the United States? to be asked on the #2020 Census!” Trump wrote in a tweet Tuesday evening.

“Going on for a long time. I have asked the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice….to do whatever is necessary to bring this most vital of questions, and this very important case, to a successful conclusion. USA! USA! USA!” he added in a second post.

The Justice Department’s memo on Tuesday came after the Supreme Court ruled on June 27 that a citizenship question was not necessary on census forms for enforcement of the Voting Rights Act.
