Trump to Supreme Court: "F" You! [View all]

The Dictator was none too happy with the Supreme Court going off script and telling him that his tariffs did not meet constitutional muster. He immediately attacked them.

Then, he said he was going to impose a 10% tariff worldwide. What could they do about it? He could destroy a "country" if he wanted. He didn't specifically say "America".

He let them know that they had no enforcement mechanism and that the DOJ and all the enforcement agencies worked for him. He would do whatever he wanted.

He is the Dictator.
