President Donald Trump on Wednesday singled out two Supreme Court judges he nominated, saying they made him ill in remarks at a Republican fundraising dinner.
Trump was worked up over the court striking down most “emergency” tariffs he had assessed. He claimed the decision in February cost the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars.
Then he zeroed in on Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, two of the conservative justices in the 6-3 decision who voted to restrict his tariff-levying powers.
“Two of the people that voted for that I appointed, and they sicken me,” he said. “They sicken me cause they’re bad for our country.”
Trump did not mention their names in the moment.
