President Trump denounced a court ruling blocking his tariffs in a lengthy Truth Social post Thursday night that targeted Leonard Leo, who played a central role in shaping Trump’s judicial picks during his first term.
“Hopefully, the Supreme Court will reverse this horrible, Country threatening decision, QUICKLY and DECISIVELY. Backroom ‘hustlers’ must not be allowed to destroy our Nation!” Trump wrote.
Trade block the bulk of Trump’s tariffs before an appeals court lifted the order. The tariffs were also blocked by a separate court, but that ruling doesn’t go into effect for two weeks.
Alongside his condemnation of the ruling, Trump went after Leo, who spent decades forming a conservative judicial pipeline as a longtime leader of the Federalist Society and advised Trump on judge selections during his first stint in the White House.
“I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges,” Trump wrote in the Truth Social post.
