Trump Slams Supreme Court Ruling, Vows Lowercase 'supreme court' After Tariff Block

  • Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Court's decision to block part of his trade policy, calling it "dumb" and "ridiculous."
  • He stated the ruling "accidentally and unwittingly" gave him more powers as President, despite it striking down his authority to impose tariffs under a 1977 law.
  • Trump announced plans for a 10 percent global tariff, later increasing it to 15 percent, and vowed to use licenses to act against foreign nations.
  • He warned of future controversial decisions by the court, including on China and birthright citizenship, and called the court "incompetent."
  • Trump asserted he does not need Congressional approval for tariffs, claiming it was already granted and reaffirmed by the court's decision.
