Showing Original Post only (View all)'Supreme Court justices stone-faced in front row as Trump calls their tariff ruling 'unfortunate' [View all]
https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/supreme-court-trump-tariff-state-of-the-union-b2926981.htmlPresident attacks high court as he continues to lie about who pays the import taxes he favors
'With members of the U.S. Supreme Court looking on, President Donald Trump attacked the justices for striking down his broad claim of emergency tariff powers last week, calling the ruling very unfortunate and lamenting the courts involvement in the entire matter.
Speaking from the House of Representatives chamber during the first State of the Union speech of his second term, Trump falsely claimed that foreign countries are now paying us hundreds of billions of dollars in the form of tariffs that are actually taxes paid by importers and passed on to American consumers as higher prices.
And then just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court. It just came down. Came down, very unfortunate ruling, he said.'
My words: Well, Donald, you might have just turned the majority of the Supreme Court against you. We can hope.
