Trump Launches Unprecedented Attack on Supreme Court Judges Over Tariff Reversal
Former US President Donald Trump has unleashed an extraordinary and deeply personal attack on six Supreme Court justices, including those he himself appointed, following their decision to nullify his administration's tariffs. The ruling, delivered on Friday, is being widely seen as one of the most significant setbacks of what would have been his second term.
Trump described the court's verdict as "deeply targeted" and asserted that the majority judges involved should be "certainly ashamed." He further chastised them, claiming they "lacked the courage to do the right thing" for the nation.
Known for consistently breaking political traditions and publicly rebuking those who challenge his authority, Trump's latest remarks underscore his willingness to confront even the highest judicial body.
The scathing comments came just hours after the court's decision, during a press conference held at the White House. Trump began the conference by directly assailing the justices. "I am ashamed of some members of the court. Absolutely ashamed of not having the courage to do what is right for our country," he declared, making his disapproval unequivocally clear.
This aggressive stance against his own judicial appointees marks a significant moment, raising questions about the traditional separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary.
