- Donald Trump criticized Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, both of whom he nominated, for not being "true" to him by reliably ruling in his favor.
- He specifically referenced their February ruling against his reciprocal tariffs program, claiming it cost the U.S. $159 billion and suggesting they could have easily prevented this outcome.
- Trump expressed concern that these justices might also rule against his executive order to end birthright citizenship, which he described as an "unsustainable, unsafe, and incredibly costly DISASTER."
- He accused Republican-appointed justices of ruling against him to appear "independent" or "above it all," contrasting them with Democratic justices who he claims always remain loyal to their nominators.
- Trump previously lambasted the tariff ruling as "deeply disappointing," calling the justices "fools and lapdogs" and an "embarrassment" for not supporting his policies.
