Enraged Trump turns on his own Supreme Court picks: 'Embarrassment to their families'

President Donald Trump took a shot at two justices he nominated to be on the Supreme Court — Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett — after they ruled that he had illegally imposed massive tariffs.

"Are you surprised in particular by their decision today?" Trump was asked during a White House press conference on Friday.

"I am," the president stated.

"Do you regret nominating them?" the reporter pressed.

"I don't want to say whether or not I regret," Trump replied. "I think their decision was terrible. I think it's an embarrassment to their families. You want to know the truth, the two of them."
