In a stunning blow to President Donald J. Trump’s signature America First economic agenda, six Supreme Court justices, including two he appointed, sided with globalist forces today to invalidate the President’s sweeping tariffs designed to stop foreign nations from bleeding America dry.
Shortly after the decision was handed down, Trump issued a blistering response, expressing outrage at what he described as a deeply flawed ruling that undermines America’s ability to respond to international economic threats.
During remarks following the decision, Trump went further, raising the specter of foreign influence affecting the outcome of the case.
Trump: “It’s my opinion that the Court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think. It’s a small movement. I won by millions of votes. We won in a landslide.
With all the cheating that went on—there was a lot of it—we still won in a landslide. Too big to rig. But these people are obnoxious, ignorant, and loud. They’re very loud. And I think certain justices are afraid of that. They don’t want to do the right thing. They’re afraid of it.”
WATCH:
During a press exchange, the president was pressed directly on his earlier remarks suggesting that foreign interests may be exerting influence over the judiciary.
Reporter:
“Thank you, Mr. President. What will you say to foreign nations who seek to renegotiate their deals? And what did you mean a moment ago when you said that the Supreme Court has been swayed by foreign interests?”
Trump:
“Well, I think that foreign interests are represented by people that I believe have undue influence. They have a lot of influence over the Supreme Court, whether it’s through fear or respect or friendships. I don’t know, but I know some of the people that were involved on the other side, and I don’t like them. I think they’re real slime balls.
And kind of do what’s right for the country. You got to do what’s right for the Constitution. That’s why I respect so much Justice Thomas and Alito, Kavanaugh, because they not only dissented, their dissent is so strong. When you read their dissent, you know, a lot of times you read a dissent and it’s like, well, you don’t know, it could go either way. There’s no other way.
The good news is, it’s like Justice Kavanaugh said—very strongly said—you have other ways you can go. You don’t have to go that way. You can go either way. There are numerous other ways you can go. And frankly, this should have been done by presidents many years ago. They allowed our country to be eaten alive. We lost 50% of our car business. We used to make cars.”

Trump fired back when pressed for evidence.
Reporter: “You mentioned numerous times of foreign influence over SCOTUS. Do you have evidence of that? ”
Trump: “You‘re going to find out; you’re going to find out.”
