Donald Trump has blasted two Supreme Court justices whom he had appointed earlier. This reaction came after the Supreme Court struck down his controversial tariff policy. The President called the justices out during a recent House GOP event, saying that they “sicken” him.
Donald Trump slams two Supreme Court justices he appointed
Donald Trump attacked Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch for voting against him on the controversial tariff case in February. Speaking at the recent National Republican Congressional Committee fundraising dinner, the President slammed the two justices whom he had himself appointed in his first term.
During the Wednesday meeting, Trump expressed at the Supreme Court decision that issued a tariff refund of about $175 billion. “Courts, bad courts in this country are costing us a tremendous amount of money,” the POTUS stated, adding, “And the Supreme Court, that’s right, of the United States, cost our country.” He continued, “All they needed was a sentence. Our country, hundreds of billions of dollars, and they couldn’t care less. They couldn’t care less.”
Trump went on to call out Barrett and Gorsuch directly, stating, “And not that it matters, it doesn’t matter at all. But two of the people that voted for that I appointed, and they sicken me.” The President added, “They sicken me. Because they’re bad for our country.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has lashed out against the court. Shortly after the February ruling that deemed Trump’s emergency tariffs as illegal, the President said, “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 further added that the judges who voted against him were “just being fools and lapdogs for the [Republicans-in-name-only] and the radical left Democrats.”
