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.
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.
