Trump Slams Supreme Court After Tariff RulingšŸšØšŸ‘‡

 

President Donald Trump kept complaining on Monday about the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to block his wide-ranging tariffs. Since the decision on Friday, Trump has posted at least six messages on Truth Social criticizing the Supreme Court.

 

 

Trump wrote on Truth Social that the court ā€œaccidentally and unknowinglyā€ gave him ā€œfar more powers and strengthā€ than before the ā€œinternationally divisiveā€ ruling. He also hinted that he expects to lose another legal battle after the court hears arguments about his executive order ending birthright citizenship.

ā€œI can use Licenses to do absolutely ā€˜terrible’ things to foreign countries, especially those countries that have been RIPPING US OFF for many decades, but incomprehensibly, according to the ruling, can’t charge them a License fee — BUT ALL LICENSES CHARGE FEES, why can’t the United States do so?ā€ Trump said in his post.

The court’s 6-3 decision on Friday dealt a major blow to Trump’s economic and trade agenda. After the ruling, the president announced first a 10 percent and, later, 15 percent global tariff.

 

The rare rejection of the president’s priorities by the conservative-leaning court quickly drew Trump’s anger, and he lambasted the majority justices as ā€œunpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution.ā€

In a separate post on Monday, Trump appeared to warn other countries he is still willing to impose tariffs on them.

 

supreme court decision, especially those that have ā€˜Ripped Off’ the U.S.A. for years, and even decades, will be met with a much higher Tariff, and worse, than that which they just recently agreed to,ā€ he said. ā€œBUYER BEWARE!!!ā€

The president also said that the court has upheld other tariffs since he took office, and they can all be used in a much stronger and more annoying way, with legal certainty.

In another post on Monday, the president said that he doesn’t need Congress’s approval to put tariffs in place.
