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.

      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.
