In a long post posted on social media late in the evening local time, Donald Trump harshly condemned the Supreme Court and the entire US justice system, accusing them of politicization, corruption and failure to take into account the president's will. He expressed particular anger at the Court's February ruling, which invalidated the tariffs it imposed under the IEEPA sanctions law.
“Our Country has been unnecessarily PLUNDERED by the United States Supreme Court, which has become nothing more than an unjust Political Organization used as a weapon,” he declared. He also accused the court of not recognizing his 2020 election protests as justified, although – as he claims – it was unquestionably proven that they were allegedly falsified.

Donald Trump is outraged. “Absolutely terrible CEO”
Trump complained that some judges nominated by Republican presidents, including himself, vote against those who nominated them and do not “stick together” like Democratic judges.
The President of the United States also expressed outrage over the federal court's blocking on Friday of subpoenaing members of the Federal Reserve board in the investigation against its chairman Jerome Powell regarding the high costs of renovating Fed buildings. The judge in the case found that federal prosecutors presented “zero evidence” of Powell's guilt, while a “mountain of evidence” showed that the investigation was politically motivated.
“How is it possible that this absolutely terrible Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome 'Latecomer' Powell, can't even be investigated for his terrible work?” Trump asked. “How is it possible that he has gone billions of dollars over budget and is years behind schedule in implementing a simple renovation of the small Federal Reserve complex in Washington, D.C., where he has created an absolute disaster – a bottomless pit and an embarrassment to our country in front of the whole world!” – he added.
