NBC News
WASHINGTON — President Donald 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
WASHINGTON — President Donald 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.
While presidents often criticize Supreme Court rulings that upend major policies, it is highly unusual for them to use such harsh and personal language. Two justices in the majority — Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett — were appointed by Trump and have frequently ruled in his favor in other cases.
