President Donald J. Trump renewed his attacks on the Supreme Court, specifically singling out the justices whom he appointed during his first term.
During a speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee Annual Fundraising Dinner in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday night, Trump tore into the nation’s highest court over the kick in the gut when they struck down his emergency tariffs last month, the centerpiece of the administration’s economic policy.
The 6-3 ruling saw conservatives Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, along with Chief Justice John Roberts, join with the three Democrats to undercut the tariffs, angering Trump, who is still fuming at the betrayal from his hand-picked justices.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump just UNLOADED on Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch
“Not that it matters, but 2 of the people that voted for that I APPOINTED. They SICKEN ME. They sicken me because they’re BAD for our country.”

“Bad courts in this country are costing us a tremendous amount of money,” he told the crowd. “The Supreme Court, that’s right, of the United States, cost our country — all they needed was a sentence — our country hundreds of billions of dollars, and they couldn’t care less. They couldn’t care less.”
Trump didn’t name Gorsuch and Barrett, but there was no doubt about who he was referring to.
“Two of the people that voted for that, I appointed, and they sicken me,” he said. “They sicken me because they’re bad for our country.”
Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was also appointed by Trump, joined rock-solid conservatives Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas in dissent.
Trump also lashed out at the majority justices immediately after the ruling, calling them a “disgrace to our nation” and “very unpatriotic and disloyal to the Constitution.” He also suggested that the majority was “swayed by foreign interests” without elaborating and branded the court’s three leftists as “fools and lapdogs” during a news conference after the decision came down.

“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,” Trump said from the White House.
Roberts, a George W. Bush appointee, has pushed back at Trump’s vitriol toward judges.
“It’s important that our decisions are subjected to scrutiny, and they are,” Roberts said during an event hosted by Rice University earlier this month.
“The problem is that sometimes the criticism can move from a focus on legal analysis to personalities. And you see from all over, I mean, not just any one political perspective on it, that it’s more directed in a personal way,” the chief justice added. “And that, frankly, can actually be quite dangerous.”
