Summary
President Donald Trump raged at "independent" Supreme Court judges on Monday during a bill signing ceremony in the Oval Office. Trump and several administration officials held a ceremony in the Oval Office commemorating the signing of an executive order to establish a federal anti-fraud task force. During the question and answer portion, Trump was asked about the prospects of Congress approving the SAVE Act, which Trump said was "imperative" for lawmakers to pass. Trump seemed noncommittal about the bill passing, but he quickly digressed into a diatribe about the Supreme Court. "Democrats have horrible policy. It's just incredible. But they stick together. It's the one thing they do," Trump said. "Their Supreme Court members stick together. Those appointed by a Democrat stick together. If Barack Hussein Obama appoints a member of the Supreme Court, that member never goes against him, and they're proud about it.""Republicans go the opposite way," he continued. "If Donald Trump appoints someone, they say 'I'm gonna show the world that I can be totally just and I can be independent of Donald Trump. He's not controlling me!' I don't want to control them. I just want smart decisions."Trump also said the Supreme Court's recent ruling declaring his tariffs illegal "won't change tariffs." "I can do it in a different way; I always knew I could do it in a different way," he said. "A little quicker, a little easier, a little better. But they gave us a decision that could cost this country $500 billion to pay people back."
