President Donald Trump lashed out at the U.S. Supreme Court over its recent ruling striking down most of his “emergency” tariffs, while also criticizing a federal judge who quashed a subpoena brought as part of a criminal investigation into one of his frequent targets, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, on Sunday night.

“The decision that mattered most to me was TARIFFS! The Court knew where I stood, how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country, and instead decided to, potentially, give away Trillions of Dollars to Countries and Companies who have been taking advantage of the United States for decades,” Trump wrote in a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform.

Trump reserved praise for the three conservative justices who sided with him in the tariffs case — Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito — while taking aim at the remaining six members of the court.

“The Democrats on the Court always ‘stick together,’ no matter how strong a case is put before them — There is rarely even a minor ‘waver.’ But Republicans do not do this. They openly disrespect the Presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the Land, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and go out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions, to prove how ‘honest,’ ‘independent,’ and ‘legitimate’ they are,” he wrote.

Trump also couldn’t resist taking the chance to air his baseless claims of 2020 election fraud, invoking his unsuccessful attempt to get the Supreme Court to overturn Joe Biden’s victory over five years ago.

“Our Country was unnecessarily RANSACKED by the United States Supreme Court, which has become little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization. The sad thing is, they will only get worse! They wouldn’t even call out The Rigged Presidential Election of 2020,” Trump said.

Trump conceded that he will likely be criticized for attacking the nation’s high court but said it is his duty to do so.

“All I can do, as President, is call them out for their bad behavior! This statement about the United States Supreme Court will cause me nothing but problems in the future, but I feel it is my obligation to speak the TRUTH,” he said.

In a follow-up post, Trump tore into Judge James Boasberg after he blocked subpoenas as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into alleged abuses of taxpayer funds incurred during a renovation of the Federal Reserve’s headquarters.

“There is abundant evidence that the subpoenas’ dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell either to yield to the President or to resign and make way for a Fed Chair who will,” Boasberg wrote. “The Government has offered no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the President.”

The ruling dealt a serious blow to the criminal probe targeting Powell, predictably angering Trump.

“I strongly criticized Jerome ‘Too Late’ for his horrible performance throughout his tenure, which is either gross incompetence, total dishonesty, or both, and, in return for this well justified criticism, get viciously and wrongfully blamed by, as usual, a Wacky, Nasty, Crooked, and totally Out of Control Judge, named James Boasberg, a man who suffers from the highest level of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and has been ‘after’ my people, and me, for years,” Trump wrote.

Trump added that Boasberg “should be removed from all cases pertaining to us, and suffer serious disciplinary action,” accusing him of showing political bias in his decisions.

“Boasberg would do better to focus on Justice and Fairness, not his own, and the Democrats’, Political Agenda, which has become LEGENDARY! Much like ‘prosecutor’ Deranged Jack Smith, and many others, Boasberg is a disgrace,” Trump wrote.

Trump, who was unsuccessfully prosecuted by Smith for hoarding classified documents after he left office in January 2021 and for trying to overthrow the 2020 election, has continued to attack the former special counsel and called for his prosecution.
