Two of his picks for the Supreme Court voted against his tariffs in February.

For President Donald Trump, it’s real simple: some of the justices he nominated for the Supreme Court turned out to be fakes. Period.
On April 21, Trump blasted recent Supreme Court verdicts and said some of the judges he nominated “misrepresented” themselves during the confirmation process, according to a story by The Epoch Times.
“I put certain people on the United States Supreme Court who totally misrepresented who they were, and the true ideology for which they stand!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The president’s comments come at a time when it seems that he is at odds with the Supreme Court, especially during a series of high-profile cases.
In February, Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, both appointed by Trump, joined a 6–3 majority that struck down his global tariffs.
Since then, Trump has bashed Barrett and Gorsuch.
The president said in an April 22 post that the court’s decision would “cost America massive amounts of money but, more importantly, it will cost America its DIGNITY!”
That majority decision was shaped by Barrett, Gorsuch, Chief Justice John Roberts, and the three liberal justices—Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Still, some of the judges dissented. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, one of Trump’s nominees from his first term, wrote a dissent, while Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito also opposed the decision.
On TruthSocial, Trump said the “Democrat Justices” are known to “stick together like glue,” which the president said he respected.
“Certain Republican Appointees let the Democrats push them around, always wanting to be popular, politically correct, or even worse, wanting to show how ‘independent’ they are, with very little loyalty to the man who appointed them or, more importantly, the ideology from which they came to be Nominated and Confirmed,” he said.
