White House aides nervous about Trump's 'fury' after court decision

NBC News reports “a visibly irritated President Donald Trump” blasted the Supreme Court on Friday for striking down unilateral tariffs he had imposed under an economic emergency law.

Before stalking off, Trump assailed the conservative justices of the court who he had apparently expected to rule in alignment with him — as they already have on many of Trump’s more controversial policies.

NBC reports “Trump's fury was evident in his expression and his voice” when speaking of the conservative justices who had sided against him. When asked if he regretted appointing Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch during his first term, Trump said their vote against him was “an embarrassment to their families.”

Trump’s venom was still apparently flaring after Trump returned to the White House.

"At this point, no one should be surprised that the courts are working against President Trump," said one Trump adviser speaking anonymously to NBC News. "To say everyone here is irate would be an understatement. But this is not over. We will be heard from again on this. I don’t know that there is a specific plan as of this moment, but it’s not over."

Trump admitted that using tariffs as a social media-delivered political weapon against international trade partners will be "more complicated" because of the court’s 6-3 opinion. But he vowed to place a 10 percent global tariff on “all imports” indiscriminately under "Section 122" powers before marching back home.

Trump’s allies were similarly enraged.

Steve Bannon, longtime MAGA Trump adviser and the host of the “War Room” podcast, replied with a four character text message when asked what would come next on the tariff front.

"#War,” posted Bannon, an ally of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein who had even tried to revamp Epstein’s character up until his arrest.
