“In response to his tariff defeat, Trump went on a rant. He called the judges ‘fools and lapdogs.’ Even worse, he questioned their patriotism, going as far as to say they had been ‘swayed by foreign interests.’ This insult was bad even by Trump’s standards, and his talk of ‘foreign Interests’ – without any evidence – can only fuel online conspiracy theorising. The Supreme Court justices were doing their job. On many occasions in the past, including when it came to the president’s personal immunity, the majority has ruled in Trump’s favour. The separation of powers, which places limits on the power of the presidency, is a key principle of the US Constitution. In this regard, the court has been consistent under both Joe Biden and Trump.” (02/24/26)
