President Donald Trump attacked two of his own Supreme Court appointees in a Truth Social post, after Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett joined a 6-3 majority striking down his tariff agenda as unconstitutional.

Trump wrote, he "loves" Gorsuch but criticized his vote as "devastating" and "hurtful to our Country," while expressing similar frustration with Barrett, emphasizing they "have hurt our Country so badly."

Trump then floated the idea of court packing — a move Republicans spent years opposing when Democrats proposed it — "In fact, I should be the one wanting to PACK THE COURT! I’m working so hard to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN."

Trump demanded ideological loyalty from judicial appointees, arguing "it's really OK for them to be loyal to the person that appointed them."

The outburst follows months of criticism of the ruling and additional defeats of his replacement tariff strategy in federal court.
