President Donald Trump admonished justices who struck down sweeping tariffs on Friday, accusing the six members of the Supreme Court of being “afraid of doing the right thing.”

The president said at a press conference hours after the court’s ruling that he’s “ashamed” for the justices who voted against his tariffs, singling out the liberal justices who joined three conservatives in blocking the tariffs as a “disgrace to our nation.”

“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,” he said.

    There’s already a lot of MAGA people convinced that “activist judges” are acting against Trump just to act against Trump… You know, as opposed to ruling against him because he’s breaking the law.

    Nevermind all those other SCOTUS rulings handing the executive branch more power. Those don’t matter. Clearly now it’s stacked with activist judges.

    I wonder if anyone from MAGA could actually define what “checks and balances” or “separation of powers” means.

    The amazing thing about this decision by the supreme court is not that it ran against him, but that there still were three judges who ignored the state of law in the US.

      Yup.

      I can’t really feel good about this news because it just shows that the SC is still notably corrupt.

    He best watch himself.  The Supreme Court may just suddenly find that presidents can be held accountable for crimes during their tenure.

      Doubtful, as long as it is perfectly legal to bribe pay gratuities to justices who vote the right way

      One can hope. Though truthfully, in all of this, I’ve had to wonder what the agenda of the SCOTUS has been in empowering Trump like it has, in the first place.

      What the fuck are they doing? It makes zero sense.

      A live feed of Trump committing ritual suicide in front of an audience would bring the viewer numbers he always pretends to have, imagine how many people want to see that go down worldwide.

        That’d make him a martyr among his idiots, I’m not sure in what way that’d be bad for us in the long run but the good news is the pedo is dead!

          Yes but those people went out in public wearing red hats, diapers, and ear bandages, they should follow up with their own suicides unless they want to buck the trend

    Trump promised to use “other alternatives” […] floated potentially implementing trade embargoes on other nations.

    You won’t do it, bitchboi. I double dare you.

      Of course he will. That new approach will be challenged in court, but will take another 12-18 months for there to be a ruling against it, meanwhile trump will keep using tariffs against our friends and allies further alienating and isolating the United State globally.

        Suree, he can put select tariffs back on through other means, but straight up embargoing countries without reason?? Likely it would be the closest he could get to political suicide. I sincerely hope he does it. Show em who’s in charge, big guy.

          if he openly does things u can call political suicide it means he is not planning on having an open and fair election, believe him when he tells u he does not need votes anymore

        I’m not talking about existing embargos stemming from long established US policies, dumbass. And neither is trump.

        I’ll assume you’re referring about Cuba, pretty big difference getting aggressive on that policy vs threatening fresh embargos on allied nations jus cuz.
