President Trump issued a statement on Sunday criticizing two Supreme Court justices’ ruling against his tariffs. He said the two justices, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, have been “hurtful to our Country.”
“They were appointed by me, and yet have hurt our Country so badly!” he wrote on Truth Social.
“I choose people to help our Country, not to hurt it,” Trump said, “and now, based on what I witnessed recently by being the first President in History to attend a Supreme Court session (Which fact was not even recognized or acknowledged, out of respect for the position of President, by the Court — Something which did not go unnoticed by the Fake News Media!), they will be ruling against us on Birthright Citizenship, making us the only Country in the World that practices this unsustainable, unsafe, and incredibly costly DISASTER.”
“I don’t want loyalty, but I do want and expect it for our Country,” he added. “Yes, I have another way of doing Tariffs, but it is far slower, and more laborious than what was just determined, in a close decision, to be ‘illegal’ or ‘unconstitutional,’ with three powerful, and highly accurate, dissents! Well, maybe Neil, and Amy, just had a really bad day, but our Country can only handle so many decisions of that magnitude before it breaks down, and cracks!!!”
“Sometimes decisions have to be allowed to use Good, Strong, Common Sense as a guide,” he declared. “A negative ruling on Birthright Citizenship, on top of the recent Supreme Court Tariff catastrophe, is not Economically sustainable for the United States of America!”
In February, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that some of President Trump’s tariffs go beyond the scope of an emergency law. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented. The majority, however, rejected Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a law that allows the president to “regulate importation.”
