NEW: Trump GOES OFF on SCOTUS and District Court Judge James Boasberg in Series of Scathing Truth Social Posts – Calls for Boasberg to “Suffer Serious Disciplinary Action”
President Trump went off on the “Highly Politicized Court System,” slamming the Supreme Court for ruling against him on tariffs and District Court Judge James Boasberg for quashing a grand jury subpoena for Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Sunday night.
This comes after the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump Administration’s request to delay the Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs earlier this month. A Clinton Judge later ordered the Trump Administration to refund $130 billion in tariffs, The Gateway Pundit reported.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, SCOTUS invalidated Trump’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) last month. Still, Trump told reporters that the ruling actually confirms his authority to impose tariffs. “I don’t think the court meant that, but it’s the way it is,” he said.
Led by Chief Justice John Roberts, Justices Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson blocked the Trump Administration’s tariffs under the Act. Only three of the five Republicans, Justices Samuel Alito, John Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh, dissented.
Trump even accused the justices of being “swayed by foreign interest and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think.”
Still, Trump noted the silver lining, telling reporters that “we have other ways, numerous other ways” to tariff foreign countries.
“There will no longer be any doubt, and the income coming in and the protection of our companies and country will actually increase because of this decision,” Trump said before revealing plans to impose sweeping tariffs under a different law.
The President later signed an executive order imposing global tariffs of 10% under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the President to impose tariffs of up to 15% for 150 days with few limitations.
On Sunday, Trump went off on the court again over their decision on the tariffs.
"The Hundreds of Billions of Dollars that our Adversaries want our Country to pay back to others that have disrespected the U.S.A., until I came along, should be marked down, in the eyes of the Public, as just another reason why the United States had been in such major decline — But, not anymore, because we have MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and, very soon, it will be GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!" Trump said. He further slammed the Republican appointees on the court.
Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Neil Gorsuch, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined Democrat-appointed Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson in the ruling.
Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.
"I want to thank Justices Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh for their Wisdom and Courage pertaining to the TARIFF case, and for understanding, in addition to the Law, that our 'Unfriendly Competitors' should not be reimbursed and rewarded for the decades of Damage they have caused THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," the President said, noting that "The Democrats on the Court always 'stick together,' no matter how strong a case is put before them," but "Republicans do not do this."
"They openly disrespect the Presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the Land, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and go out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions, to prove how “honest,” “independent,” and “legitimate” they are," he continued.
In a separate post, Trump continued going off on the Justices, writing, "The Courts treat Republicans, and me, so unfairly, always seeming to protect those who should not be protected. They are highly politicized. Cases don’t matter, the Judge does!"
He further slammed the "Wacky, Nasty, Crooked, and totally Out of Control" Obama-appointed District Court Judge James Boasberg, calling him "a man who suffers from the highest level of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and has been 'after' my people, and me, for years." Boasberg last week quashed the Justice Department’s subpoenas issued to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, accusing Trump of weaponizing justice against Powell for refusing to lower interest rates.
"In case after case, Boasberg has displayed open, flagrant, and extreme partisan bias and contempt against Republicans and the Trump Administration. To preserve the integrity of the Judiciary, he should be removed from all cases pertaining to us, and suffer serious disciplinary action, as should numerous other Corrupt Judges that, unfortunately, our Country has had to endure! What Boasberg has done on the 'Too Late' Powell case, and many others, has little to do with the Law, and everything to do with Politics. He is exactly what Judges should not be! Boasberg would do better to focus on Justice and Fairness, not his own, and the Democrats’, Political Agenda, which has become LEGENDARY! Much like 'prosecutor' Deranged Jack Smith, and many others, Boasberg is a disgrace, as was his predecessor, to our Legal Process, and our Highly Politicized Court System, which was just witnessed firsthand by the unfortunate and unwarranted TARIFF decision, recently handed down by the United States Supreme Court, which was a GIFT to Countries and Companies who have been 'ripping off the United States of America,' for decades, at levels never seen before," Trump said.
Full statement below:
The decision that mattered most to me was TARIFFS! The Court knew where I stood, how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country, and instead decided to, potentially, give away Trillions of Dollars to Countries and Companies who have been taking advantage of the United States for decades. Our Supreme Court has made these Countries very happy but, as the Court pointed out, I have the absolute right to charge TARIFFS in another form, and have already started to do so. The Hundreds of Billions of Dollars that our Adversaries want our Country to pay back to others that have disrespected the U.S.A., until I came along, should be marked down, in the eyes of the Public, as just another reason why the United States had been in such major decline — But, not anymore, because we have MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and, very soon, it will be GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!
I want to thank Justices Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh for their Wisdom and Courage pertaining to the TARIFF case, and for understanding, in addition to the Law, that our “Unfriendly Competitors” should not be reimbursed and rewarded for the decades of Damage they have caused THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I will fight hard to make sure that this does not happen! The Democrats on the Court always “stick together,” no matter how strong a case is put before them — There is rarely even a minor “waver.” But Republicans do not do this. They openly disrespect the Presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the Land, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and go out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions, to prove how “honest,” “independent,” and “legitimate” they are. The Democrat Justices just vote Democrat — They always stick together! Our Country was unnecessarily RANSACKED by the United States Supreme Court, which has become little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization. The sad thing is, they will only get worse! They wouldn’t even call out The Rigged Presidential Election of 2020, because they said that I, as President of the United States, did not have “standing” to challenge it, and now, with time, it has been conclusively proven to be stolen — And look what happened to our wonderful Nation by allowing a grossly incompetent man, Sleepy Joe Biden, to be our “President.” This completely inept and embarrassing Court was not what the Supreme Court of the United States was set up by our wonderful Founders to be. They are hurting our Country, and will continue to do so. All I can do, as President, is call them out for their bad behavior! This statement about the United States Supreme Court will cause me nothing but problems in the future, but I feel it is my obligation to speak the TRUTH. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
The Courts treat Republicans, and me, so unfairly, always seeming to protect those who should not be protected. They are highly politicized. Cases don’t matter, the Judge does! As an example, how is this absolutely terrible Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome “Too Late” Powell, not even allowed to be investigated for the horrible job he does? How is he allowed to be Billions of Dollars over budget, and years behind schedule, on the simple renovation of the small Federal Reserve Complex in Washington, D.C., where he created an absolute disaster — A money pit, and embarrassment to our Country for the whole World to see! It is a little project that has been under construction for many years. The Contractor on the job, along with Powell, should also be heavily investigated, in that it is impossible for a “professional” to have such enormous Cost Overruns. It is THE HIGHEST PRICED BUILDING, PER SQUARE FOOT, OF ANY PROJECT EVER BUILT, with no end in sight, and may not even be open for many years to come. I strongly criticized Jerome “Too Late” for his horrible performance throughout his tenure, which is either gross incompetence, total dishonesty, or both, and, in return for this well justified criticism, get viciously and wrongfully blamed by, as usual, a Wacky, Nasty, Crooked, and totally Out of Control Judge, named James Boasberg, a man who suffers from the highest level of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and has been “after” my people, and me, for years. The D.C. Circuit eagerly supported the arrest and persecution of innocent Republicans for no crimes at all, but is now preventing even a basic investigation into the gross financial mismanagement of the Federal Reserve. In case after case, Boasberg has displayed open, flagrant, and extreme partisan bias and contempt against Republicans and the Trump Administration. To preserve the integrity of the Judiciary, he should be removed from all cases pertaining to us, and suffer serious disciplinary action, as should numerous other Corrupt Judges that, unfortunately, our Country has had to endure! What Boasberg has done on the “Too Late” Powell case, and many others, has little to do with the Law, and everything to do with Politics. He is exactly what Judges should not be! Boasberg would do better to focus on Justice and Fairness, not his own, and the Democrats’, Political Agenda, which has become LEGENDARY!
