'RANSACKED!': Trump Blasts Supreme Court Justices In Truth Social Outburst
Donald J. Trump, 79, threw an absolute tantrum after the Supreme Court dared to tell him that a bunch of his beloved tariffs were, in fact, illegal.
Taking to Truth Social in what can only be described as a dramatic cry for attention, Trump declared that February's ruling by the nation's highest court was the one that "mattered most to him" — and naturally, blamed it for America's supposed downfall. Because of course he did.
In a 6–3 decision, the justices determined that Trump couldn't just wave around a 1977 emergency law as if by magic to justify his bonkers tariff spree. Stinging from that very public smackdown, Trump promptly pivoted to another legal provision — dusting off Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 — to slap a fresh 10 percent global baseline tariff on the table. Because when one legal justification gets shot down, there's always another one to try.
Trump took aim at liberal justices as well as the three conservative justices whom Trump nominated to the bench, and Chief Justice John Roberts.
"The decision that mattered most to me was TARIFFS!" Trump raged. "The Court knew where I stood, how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country."
