Trump: "I 'Love' Justice Neil Gorsuch! But he voted against me. How do I reconcile this? PACK THE COURT!"

Trump lashed out at two of his own Supreme Court picks in a rambling Truth Social post this week, suggesting he should pack the nation's highest court after Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett joined the 6-3 majority that struck down his sweeping tariff agenda as unconstitutional.

"I 'Love' Justice Neil Gorsuch! He’s a really smart and good man, but he voted against me, and our Country, on Tariffs, a devastating move. How do I reconcile this? So bad, and hurtful to our Country ," Trump wrote, before turning his ire on Barrett with equal frustration. "I have, likewise, always liked and respected Amy Coney Barrett, but the same thing with her. They were appointed by me, and yet have hurt our Country so badly!"

Trump then floated the idea of expanding the court himself — a move he and Republicans spent years attacking Democrats for proposing.

"With certain Republican Nominated Justices that we have on the Supreme Court, the Democrats don’t really need to 'PACK THE COURT' any longer," he wrote. "In fact, I should be the one wanting to PACK THE COURT! I’m working so hard to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and then people that I appointed have shown so little respect to our Country, and its people!"

The meltdown comes months after Trump called the ruling an "embarrassment to their families" during a White House press conference, and as his replacement tariff strategy has now also been struck down by federal judges, dealing yet another blow to his trade agenda.
