President Donald Trump admonished justices who struck down sweeping tariffs on Friday, accusing the six members of the Supreme Court of being “afraid of doing the right thing.”

The president said at a press conference hours after the court’s ruling that he’s “ashamed” for the justices who voted against his tariffs, singling out the liberal justices who joined three conservatives in blocking the tariffs as a “disgrace to our nation.”

“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,” he said.

Awww, did widdle Drumpy not get his way?

Someone change his diaper, he’s getting fussy!

Seppuku is always an option.

So "doing the right thing" and following the law aren't always the same? No way!

When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal

Drowsy Don

Shut the fuck up Donnie, you're out of your element.

He best watch himself.  The Supreme Court may just suddenly find that presidents can be held accountable for crimes during their tenure.

If you do that, there will be nothing left!

Trump promised to use “other alternatives” [...] floated potentially implementing trade embargoes on other nations.

You won't do it, bitchboi. I double dare you.

Yeah they tend to backfire.

Every accusation is a confession.

That would be honorable, so that's not an option for the orange peril

Doubtful, as long as it is perfectly legal to bribe pay gratuities to justices who vote the right way

Of course he will. That new approach will be challenged in court, but will take another 12-18 months for there to be a ruling against it, meanwhile trump will keep using tariffs against our friends and allies further alienating and isolating the United State globally.

The fighting between them is all smoke and mirrors, imo. This is all part of blitzkrieg policy.

One can hope. Though truthfully, in all of this, I've had to wonder what the agenda of the SCOTUS has been in empowering Trump like it has, in the first place.

What the fuck are they doing? It makes zero sense.

Suree, he can put select tariffs back on through other means, but straight up embargoing countries without reason?? Likely it would be the closest he could get to political suicide. I sincerely hope he does it. Show em who's in charge, big guy.

I volunteer Stephen Miller for that honor..

A live feed of Trump committing ritual suicide in front of an audience would bring the viewer numbers he always pretends to have, imagine how many people want to see that go down worldwide.

Poor little baby.

I'm not talking about existing embargos stemming from long established US policies, dumbass. And neither is trump.

I'll assume you're referring about Cuba, pretty big difference getting aggressive on that policy vs threatening fresh embargos on allied nations jus cuz.

The amazing thing about this decision by the supreme court is not that it ran against him, but that there still were three judges who ignored the state of law in the US.

"Spoiled brat throws a temper tantrum because he didn't get his way"

There fixed the headline.

Yup.

I can't really feel good about this news because it just shows that the SC is still notably corrupt.

Im talking about the announced decision to put a universal 10% tariff globally

You shit your pants again Donnie?

Thinking like stock market execs, its all about the next quarter results 😎😎😎 (and nothing beyond that)

if he openly does things u can call political suicide it means he is not planning on having an open and fair election, believe him when he tells u he does not need votes anymore

Breaking “disgusting pedofile child murdering Israeli backed traitor throws public fit because he didn’t get his way”

That'd make him a martyr among his idiots, I'm not sure in what way that'd be bad for us in the long run but the good news is the pedo is dead!

That sentient anal polyp would actually be honored.

There's already a lot of MAGA people convinced that "activist judges" are acting against Trump just to act against Trump... You know, as opposed to ruling against him because he's breaking the law.

Nevermind all those other SCOTUS rulings handing the executive branch more power. Those don't matter. Clearly now it's stacked with activist judges.

I wonder if anyone from MAGA could actually define what "checks and balances" or "separation of powers" means.

Yes but those people went out in public wearing red hats, diapers, and ear bandages, they should follow up with their own suicides unless they want to buck the trend

Even for this demented sociopathic rapist that’s a crazy picture

I wonder if anyone from MAGA could actually define what "checks and balances" or "separation of powers" means.

I guarantee both would lack self-awareness and instead be defined with a generous sprinkling of "woke", "antifa", or "liberal" in the definition.

Maybe:

"Checks and balances make it so a woke liberal president can't take away our freedom by himself."

That would be undoubtedly the biggest event in pay per view history

You don't like it, fine.

Now pay up, sucker!

Heh, Donald Trump seifuku

Does this mean the average Joe's who paid tariffs will get a refund?

Serious question.

The dissenters were Kavanaugh, Alito, and Thomas.

Seems like that alone explains everything I'd ever need to know about the dissent.

You already answered it, the agenda is to empower trump to do what project 2025 wants done...
They try to uphold a smidgeon of being a required institution now and then but that is mostly out of self preservation so they are still legitimized when kicking downwards to the common man's problems.

This is a big signal that they won't be rubber stamping everything in his agenda. They wanted Barret because she would give them Abortion, no matter what, and she did. But like most criminals,
these MAGAs never look beyond their immediate agenda, to the next steps, or the consequences of their behavior.

So now they've got a moral person on the Supreme Court who doesn't seem likely to appease his ugliest demands.

Birthright Citizenship is coming soon, which is expressly allowed in the Constitution, and this ruling seems to indicate that they aren't willing to just ignore the Constitution to earn his favor.

Especially after he attacked them so viciously. They won't forget that.

Just like all the other “political suicide” shit he’s done consequence free?

Hahhahhaha

Yes, of course it was.

The answer is no. Unless there is some mythical honest MAGA they are hiding from us. It is not that they can't properly define things it is they don't want to.

Don't get too excited, they decided on money. Trump is wrong about his stupid tariff scheme. Not only was it always illegal it is simply not generating the money they pretended it would. With the tax cuts and increases in spending we are heading to add another ten trillion to the debt in the next three years. Possibly much more if we go to war with Iran.

It is obvious Trump and the Republicans are trying to break the bank at this point. They are purposely mismanaging the publics money to create a crisis. I had to listen to years of hate radio growing up and I know this is their "starve the beast" moment aka destroy the government.

I'm sorry, the correct answer is "checks and balances are some lib pussy bullshit they say when they want to put litterboxes in classrooms for furries"

But we would have also accepted "fuck you here's my freedom card to not care (slams a beer while flipping you off)"
