President Donald Trump on Sunday sharply criticized Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, both appointed by him during his first term, saying they had "hurt our Country so badly" by siding against his administration's tariff policies.
"I 'Love' Justice Neil Gorsuch! He's a really smart and good man, but he voted against me, and our Country, on Tariffs, a devastating move," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"I have, likewise, always liked and respected Amy Coney Barrett, but the same thing with her," he added.
The Supreme Court ruled in February that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize a president to impose sweeping tariffs, delivering a major rebuke to President Donald Trump's use of emergency powers to reshape U.S. trade policy.
Trump said Sunday that the court's ruling would cost the United States "159 Billion Dollars that we have to pay back to enemies, and people, companies, and Countries, that have been ripping us off for years."
The president argued the justices could have avoided the financial impact with what he called a "tiny" sentence declaring that money paid to the United States would not need to be returned, and described the decision as a "Supreme Court Tariff catastrophe."
Trump also suggested some Republican-appointed justices have sought to distance themselves politically from him by ruling independently in major cases.
"Democrat Justices always remain true to the people that honored them for that very special Nomination," Trump wrote. "Republican Justices often go out of their way to oppose me, because they want to show how 'independent' or, 'above it all,' they are."
The president referenced his 2024 election victory, saying he won "the Popular Vote, all seven Swing States, an Electoral College 'clobbering,' and all U.S. Counties, by 86%, 2,750 to 525." He said he selected judicial nominees "to help our Country, not to hurt it."
Trump also warned the Supreme Court could rule against his administration on birthright citizenship, which he described as "unsustainable, unsafe, and incredibly costly."
He argued that a negative decision, combined with the tariff ruling, would not be "Economically sustainable for the United States of America."
In the post, Trump said he did not seek personal loyalty from the justices but expected them to act in the country's interest. "I don't want loyalty, but I do want and expect it for our Country," he wrote.
The president closed by saying the nation could not withstand repeated rulings of similar magnitude.
"Well, maybe Neil, and Amy, just had a really bad day, but our Country can only handle so many decisions of that magnitude before it breaks down, and cracks!!!" Trump wrote.
