While President Donald Trump may very well be having his “worst day” in office after the Supreme Court ruled against his tariff policy on Friday, commentators cited a report that claimed the family of one top Trump official stands to profit handsomely from the court’s decision.

Former Republican lawmaker Adam Kinzinger issued a bleak warning Friday that, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s bombshell ruling on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, the president may very well ignite a regional war out of rage after having “clearly the worst day” of his second term.

"Thank you very much," Trump said after stepping to the podium at the breakfast event with governors on Friday. "And I guess we're going to be asking the press to leave.
