He’s taking it well

Tantrum.

Trump on Friday launched an extraordinary attack on the Supreme Court after it ruled against him on tariffs, describing justices in the majority as a “disgrace to our nation” and “very unpatriotic and disloyal to the Constitution.”

While praising the three dissenting justices in the 6-3 ruling that invalidated most of his tariffs, Trump suggested the majority was “swayed by foreign interests” and said the three Democratic appointees in the majority are “fools and lapdogs” to moderate Republicans and Democrats.

“The Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I’m ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,” Trump said in remarks at the White House.

The court has a 6-3 conservative majority that frequently rules in his favor.

Well sure but majority isn’t good enough. It has to be all. Anything else is treason.

While presidents often criticize Supreme Court rulings that upend major policies, it is highly unusual for them to use such harsh and personal language.

Wellll no. It’s not unusual; it’s non-existent.

Elaborating on his claim of foreign interference, Trump suggested without evidence that foreign interests have “undue influence” on the court.

“They have a lot of influence over the Supreme Court, whether it’s through fear or respect or friendships, I don’t know,” he added.

Why doesn’t he know? Because he’s making it up.

In response to a question from a reporter, Trump later addressed the votes taken by Barrett and Gorsuch.

“I think their decision was terrible. I think it’s an embarrassment to their families,” he said.

It’s also an embarrassment to their pets, their colleagues, their neighbors, their fellow members of the Audubon Society.
