Bill Maher Mocks 'Bats**t' Trump Over Tariffs Tantrum: 'He's Such A Karen'
HuffPost
The "Real Time" host unleashed on President Donald Trump for proverbially demanding to "speak to the manager" following Friday's stinging defeat.
“Real Time” host Bill Maher applauded the Supreme Court on Friday for overturning most of the “emergency” tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump while also ripping Trump over his aggressive reaction to the ruling.
“The Supreme Court said they struck down his request to have emergency powers to impose tariffs,” said Maher during his opening monologue. “They said ‘yes’ to pretty much everything he wanted to do, but here, they finally said, ‘You know what? Don’t fuck with the money.’ Trump took it very well.”
He continued, “I’m joking, of course. He went batshit about it ... that it was a ‘disgrace’ and ‘these fucking courts.’ He’s such a Karen. I mean, everything he does, everything is always, ‘I want to speak to the manager.’ And the Supreme Court said, ‘We’re the manager.’”
The Supreme Court upheld an essential separation of powers with the extraordinary 6-3 decision Friday, ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the president to impose tariffs despite Trump invoking that very law to do so.
The president attacked the ruling in signature harsh fashion, calling the justices who ruled against him a “disgrace to our nation” during a Friday press conference and reportedly ranting in private about “these fucking courts.”
