Trump criticizes 2 Supreme Court justices by name over tariff ruling
Trump lashed out after the court blocked his tariff agenda and said it was OK for his appointees to be loyal to him.
- On Truth Social late Sunday, President Donald Trump attacked Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, complaining they have not "remained true" to him following their decision blocking his Tariffs.
- The Supreme Court joined a 6-3 majority that struck down Trump's reciprocal Tariffs program in February, which he claimed cost the United States 159 Billion Dollars in refunds owed to foreign entities.
- Trump demanded ideological loyalty from appointees, writing he should be the one to "PACK THE COURT" because they have shown "so little respect" to the United States and its people.
- Federal judges also struck down Trump's replacement Tariffs strategy, dealing another blow to his trade agenda months after he called the ruling an "embarrassment to their families" at the White House.
- Tensions escalate as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, a prospect he raised alongside his Tariffs complaints, raising stakes for judicial independence.
