Trump rages at Supreme Court's 'bad behavior' in late-night fury: 'Inept and embarrassing'

President Donald Trump unfurled a 492-word attack on the U.S. Supreme Court over its decision to strike down his tariffs.

The 79-year-old president aired his grievances in a lengthy Truth Social post Sunday night at 10:45 p.m., saying the justices – three of whom he appointed during his first term – should have given him what he wanted on the topic.

"The decision that mattered most to me was TARIFFS!" Trump posted. "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. Our Supreme Court has made these Countries very happy but, as the Court pointed out, I have the absolute right to charge TARIFFS in another form, and have already started to do so."

Trump believes that Justice Brett Kavanaugh's 63-page dissent, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, cracked open the door for him to impose tariffs using other legal means, which he has been scrambling to do since the court loss last month.

"I want to thank Justices Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh for their Wisdom and Courage pertaining to the TARIFF case, and for understanding, in addition to the Law, that our 'Unfriendly Competitors' should not be reimbursed and rewarded for the decades of Damage they have caused THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," Trump posted. "I will fight hard to make sure that this does not happen!"

Trump accused the court's liberals of voting as a bloc and complained that the conservative majority do not.

"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,'" Trump posted, misspelling "waiver." "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. The Democrat Justices just vote Democrat — They always stick together!"

He then returned to his long-standing and baseless complaints about his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.

"Our Country was unnecessarily RANSACKED by the United States Supreme Court, which has become little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization," Trump posted. "The sad thing is, they will only get worse! They wouldn’t even call out The Rigged Presidential Election of 2020, because they said that I, as President of the United States, did not have 'standing' to challenge it, and now, with time, it has been conclusively proven to be stolen — And look what happened to our wonderful Nation by allowing a grossly incompetent man, Sleepy Joe Biden, to be our 'President.'"

"This completely inept and embarrassing Court was not what the Supreme Court of the United States was set up by our wonderful Founders to be," the president added. "They are hurting our Country, and will continue 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. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
