Trump 'ashamed' of 'unpatriotic and disloyal' Supreme Court after tariff decision
President Donald Trump blasted members of the Supreme Court who ruled against his ability to impose tariffs in a 6-3 decision.
During a White House news conference on Friday, Trump said he was "ashamed of certain members of the court."
"Absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what's right for our country," the president explained. "I'd like to thank and congratulate justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh for their strength and wisdom and love of our country, which is right now very proud of those justices."
Trump argued that foreign countries were "dancing in the streets" because of the tariff ruling.
"The Democrats on the court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote no," he said. "They also are a, frankly, disgrace to our nation, those justices. They're an automatic no matter how good a case you have. It said no."
"They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution," he continued. "It's my opinion that the Court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think. Movement. I won by millions of votes. We won in a landslide. With all the cheating that went on, there was a lot of it, but we still won in a landslide."
"But these people are obnoxious, ignorant, and loud. They don't want to do the right thing. They're afraid of it."
