Discussion
#Trump has not yet commented on the ruling, but he was particularly animated about the case Thurs while delivering remarks in Georgia.
“I have to wait for this decision,” he whined. “I’ve been waiting forever. Forever. And the language is clear that I have the right to do it as president. I have the right to put #tariffs on for national security purposes.”
Trump also repeatedly said the word tariff was his favorite word in the dictionary 🙄.
I guess this could be considered a reaction to the #SCOTUS ruling on #tariffs∶
#Trump told reporters on Friday that he was considering a limited #military #strike to pressure #Iran into a deal. “I guess I can say I am considering that,” he said at the start of a meeting with #governors at the White House.

#Trump is speaking after #SCOTUS rules against his #tariffs
"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," said Trump.

#Trump said foreign countries are
celebrating the ruling, but it won't last long.
"Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic. They're so happy, & they're dancing in the streets, but they won't be dancing for long, that I can assure you," said Trump.
He said, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that #SCOTUS has been "swayed by foreign interests & a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think."

#Trump said that "other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones [ #tariffs] that the court incorrectly rejected."
"We have alternatives," Trump said, "could be more money. We'll take in more money & we'll be a lot stronger for it." — if that were at all true, he would have used those methods first.

#Trump said didn't make sense to him, big surprise.
"I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country. I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo. I can embargo. *I can do anything I want*, but I can't charge $1 because that's not what it says," he said.
"How ridiculous is that?"
You are what is ridiculous, idiot.
