Trump, enraged, lashes out at the Supreme Court over tariffs: "it is profoundly disappointing and I am ashamed of certain judges for not having the courage to do what is right" they are "lap dogs"

Donald Trump expressed outrage at the Supreme Court's decision to declare most of his tariffs illegal, attacking the justices who did not support him.

In response to the Supreme Court's ruling that declared nearly all of his tariffs illegal, President Donald Trump voiced his anger, calling the decision 'profoundly disappointing' and showing shame towards certain judges for not having the courage to stand for what he deems right for the country. Trump's reaction was one of fury, especially aimed at the six justices who opposed him, including two he had appointed during his presidency.

Trump labeled the dissenting judges as cowards, lacking the 'strength, wisdom, and love for America' that he attributed to other justices such as Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh. He further criticized them for being 'politically correct' and branded them as foolish and 'lap dogs' for the RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) and radical left Democrats. This harsh rhetoric underscores Trump's ongoing battle with the judiciary and highlights his deep dissatisfaction with how his policies are being scrutinized and judged by the highest court in the nation.

Additionally, Trump suggested that the Supreme Court's ruling has contributed to the happiness of foreign nations that he believes have taken advantage of the U.S. in recent years. By framing the judges as unpatriotic and disloyal to the Constitution, Trump's statements also reflect a larger narrative of his presidency that positions him against both the judiciary and perceived political adversaries. This confrontation may have significant implications for the relationship between the executive branch and the judiciary moving forward.
