Donald Trump on Friday railed against the supreme court justices who blocked his use of tariffs, calling the decision a \u201cdisgrace to the nation\u201d, and later signed documents imposing a 10% tariff on all countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think,\u201d the president said during remarks from the White House. He cast that influence as social and cultural, saying: \u201cI\u2019m ashamed of certain members of the court. Absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what\u2019s right for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
He praised the three justices who dissented in the opinion: Brett Kavanaugh, who wrote the main dissent, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The others \u2013 including two of his appointees, Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch \u2013 drew his derision.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re just being fools and lapdogs for the Rinos [\u201cRepublicans in name only\u201d] and the radical-left Democrats, and not that they should have anything at all to do with it,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThey\u2019re very unpatriotic and disloyal to our constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n Referring to Barrett and Gorsuch, he described them as \u201can embarrassment to their families\u201d and said they were \u201cbarely\u201d invited to the State of the Union address next week.<\/p>\n Asked for evidence of foreign influence over the supreme court, Trump replied: \u201cYou\u2019re going to find out.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump said he would immediately sign an order increasing tariffs globally by 10% under section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 and will begin investigations of unfair trade practices allowing further tariffs. He asserted that he had the authority to impose additional tariffs under existing statutes without congressional approval.<\/p>\n On Friday evening, Trump posted on Truth Social: \u201cIt is my Great Honor to have just signed, from the Oval Office, a Global 10% Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to be a good boy,\u201d Trump said, describing his relative restraint in issuing tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Trump said that tariffs under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 will remain \u201cin place and in full force and effect\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n #Trump #imposes #global #tariff #rails #supreme #court #justices #Donald #Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Donald Trump on Friday railed … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23722"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
