Donald Trump is putting pressure on the Supreme Court ahead of tariff ruling

Trump, who has remained active online throughout the holidays, continued that pattern Saturday morning with a lengthy 7:22 a.m. post touting his tariff agenda — an agenda that many economists say has contributed to higher consumer costs.

In the message, he not only celebrated what he described as the economic and geopolitical successes of his approach, but also made an open appeal to the country’s highest court.

“Tariffs have made our country rich, strong, powerful and safe. They have been successfully used against us by other countries for decades, but when it comes to tariffs, and because of what I have instituted, WE HAVE ALL THE CARDSand with a smart president we always will!” Trump wrote Truth Socialarguing that tariffs stopped wars, stimulated markets, lowered inflation, and strengthened America’s borders and military.

He concluded his post with a sharp message addressed to the Supreme Court: “Evil, American-hating forces are fighting us at the Supreme Court of the United States. Pray to God that our nine justices will show great wisdom and do good for America!”
