Trump Continues to Lash Out at Supreme Court

February 23, 2026 at 12:47 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“President Donald Trump on Monday continued to lash out at the Supreme Court, days after a majority of justices, including two of his conservative nominees, struck down most of his global tariffs as illegal,” ABC News reports.

“In a series of social media posts on Monday, Trump wrote he had a ‘complete lack of respect’ for the nation’s high court and that ‘they should be ashamed of themselves.’”

Said Trump: “The supreme court (will be using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack of respect!) of the United States accidentally and unwittingly gave me, as President of the United States, far more powers and strength than I had prior to their ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisive ruling.”

New York Magazine: Trump punishes “supreme court” by revoking capital letters.
