VIDEO: TRUMP DECRIES LAWLESS SUPREME COURT, IMPOSES NEW TARRIFFS

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

............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.

I'd like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh for their strength and wisdom and love of our country, which is right now very proud of those justices.

When you read the dissenting opinions, there's no way that anyone can argue against them. There's no way.

Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic. They're so happy, and they're dancing in the streets, but they won't be dancing for long, that I can assure you.

The Democrats on the court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote no. They're an automatic no, just like in Congress, they're an automatic no. They're against anything that makes America, strong, healthy and great again. They also are a, frankly, disgrace to our nation, those justices.

They're an automatic no, no matter how good a case you have, it's a no. You can't knock their loyalty, one thing you can do with some of our people.

Others think they're being politically correct, which has happened before far too often with certain members of this court, and it's happened so often with this court - what a shame - having to do with voting in particular, when in fact they're just being fools and lapdogs for the RINOs and the radical left Democrats and, not that this should have anything at all to do with it, they're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution.............

YAHOO NEWS REPORTS:

President Donald Trump slammed the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision that ruled he does not have the authority to levy sweeping tariffs under a specific emergency powers law, noting he will pursue "alternatives" to tariffs under emergency law.

"Other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the court incorrectly rejected," Trump said during a White House press briefing Friday afternoon. "We have alternatives. Great alternatives. Could be more money. We'll take in more money, and we'll be a lot stronger for it. We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars. We'll continue to do so."

The president also announced he is imposing a 10% "global tariff" following the court's decision.

"Today I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under section 122 over and above our normal tariffs already being charged," Trump said. "And we're also initiating several section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies."

The high court blocked Trump's tariffs levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in what amounts to a major test of executive branch authority.

Trump called the ruling "deeply disappointing," saying he was "ashamed" of certain members of the court.

"I'm ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what's right for our country," the president said. "In actuality, I was very modest in my ask of other countries and businesses because& I wanted to be very well-behaved.
