President Trump on Wednesday said Republican justices on the Supreme Court do not “stick together” and Democrats don’t have to worry about ‘packing the court.’

“How can the Democrats not like how the U.S. Supreme Court votes. The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, NEVER failing to wander from the warped and perverse policies, ideas, and cases put before them. They ALWAYS vote as a group, or BLOCK, even that new, Low IQ person, that somehow found her way to the bench (Sleepy Joe!). The Republican Justices don’t stick together, they give the Democrats win after win, like a 159 Billion Dollar pile of cash on a completely ridiculous Tariff decision, and nasty, one sided questions on the country destroying subject of Birthright Citizenship, something which virtually NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS STUPID ENOUGH TO ALLOW,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“It was meant for the babies of slaves, not for the babies of Chinese Billionaires. No, certain ‘Republican’ Justices have just gone weak, stupid, and bad, completely violating what they ‘supposedly’ stood for. Handing over 159 Billion Dollars in Tariff refunds to people who have been Ripping Off our Country for years, is unexplainable. One little sentence would have stoped this record setting payment from having to be made. It is a travesty! Their Tariff decision was an unnecessary and expensive slap in the face to the U.S.A., and a giant victory for its opponents,” he continued.

“If they rule against our Country on Birthright Citizenship, which they probably will, it will be even worse, if that’s possible. It will cost America massive amounts of money but, more importantly, it will cost America its DIGNITY! No, the Radical Left Democrats don’t need to ‘Pack the Court,’ it’s already Packed!” he added.

Fox News shared further:

Trump’s remarks come after the high court blocked his so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs from taking force earlier this year. Justices in February blocked Trump, 6-3, from using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA to unilaterally enact steep reciprocal tariffs.

Trump on Wednesday also suggested the high court might rule against him on birthright citizenship. Trump used the social media post to take aim at what he described as the “nasty, one-sided questions on the country destroying the subject of Birthright Citizenship” during oral arguments earlier this month.

Trump attended roughly half of the oral arguments, and left shortly after U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer finished making the administration’s case.

According to The Hill, much of Trump’s frustration with the Supreme Court has been directed at Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, both of whom he nominated to the bench during his first term.

The Hill noted:

Gorsuch and Barrett joined with Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s liberal justices to strike down the bulk of Trump’s sweeping tariffs in a 6-3 decision in February.

The court ruled that the president’s expanded use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act exceeded his authority, dealing a massive blow to a cornerstone of his economic agenda.

The decision sparked debate over how the hundreds of millions of dollars already collected should be handled, with many demanding refunds for companies and taxpayers.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection — which collects tariffs and duties on goods entering the country — opened a portal on Monday to process refunds for importers and brokers who paid tariffs.

Trump on Wednesday called the process a “travesty,” echoing comments made a day earlier that it would be “brilliant” for American companies not to seek refunds and that he would remember the ones who did not.
