Trump erupts at his own Supreme Court picks for betraying Republicans
An irate President Donald Trump wasn't finished blasting the Supreme Court over his tariff loss, unleashing yet another fiery tirade on Truth Social, expressing his fury at two of his own Supreme Court appointees for what he characterized as a courtroom betrayal.
Trump took direct aim at right-wing Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, claiming they sided against Republicans in a decision he views as catastrophic.
"What happened today with the two United States Supreme Court Justices that I appointed against great opposition, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, whether people like it or not, never seems to happen with Democrats. They vote against the Republicans, and never against themselves, almost every single time, no matter how good a case we have," Trump raged.
The president's frustration extended to his criticism of Chief Justice John Roberts.
"At least I didn't appoint Roberts, who led the effort to allow Foreign Countries that have been ripping us off for years to continue to do so," Trump wrote.
Pivoting to his economic agenda, Trump signaled aggressive action ahead, vowing to bypass the major setback.
"But we won’t let it happen. The new TARIFFS, totally tested and accepted as Law, are on their way!"
Trump uncorked multiple attacks on the high court Friday, saying the justices ought to be "ashamed" of themselves and even suggesting the court could be under foreign influence.
