Trump has responded to the Supreme Court decision today upholding DACA in quite a few tweets today, starting with this one:
These horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives. We need more Justices or we will lose our 2nd. Amendment & everything else. Vote Trump 2020!

This one he should have kept to himself, as the Supreme Court has ruled on his side several times over his first term as President. Certainly not every ruling has gone his way, but some definitely have:
Do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesn’t like me?

Trump argued that decisions like the one today are proof that we need new justices on the Supreme Court:
The recent Supreme Court decisions, not only on DACA, Sanctuary Cities, Census, and others, tell you only one thing, we need NEW JUSTICES of the Supreme Court. If the Radical Left Democrats assume power, your Second Amendment, Right to Life, Secure Borders, and…

…Religious Liberty, among many other things, are OVER and GONE!

Trump says the decision by the Supreme Court today was a political one:
The DACA decision, while a highly political one, and seemingly not based on the law, gives the President of the United States far more power than EVER anticipated. Nevertheless, I will only act in the best interests of the United States of America!

Trump does indicate that his administration will be starting over…
As President of the United States, I am asking for a legal solution on DACA, not a political one, consistent with the rule of law. The Supreme Court is not willing to give us one, so now we have to start this process all over again.

Lastly, Trump is creating a new list of conservative judicial nominees who he promises to pick from if he gets reelected:
I will be releasing a new list of Conservative Supreme Court Justice nominees, which may include some, or many of those already on the list, by September 1, 2020. If given the opportunity, I will only choose from this list, as in the past, a Conservative Supreme Court Justice…

…Based on decisions being rendered now, this list is more important than ever before (Second Amendment, Right to Life, Religous Liberty, etc.) – VOTE 2020!
