Trump Moves Closer To Calling For Courts To Be Abolished

Donald Trump went off the deep end once again in his attacks on the federal court system. This time, Trump claimed that the courts could lead to the economic “ruination” of America if they rule that he can’t keep his tariffs in place. The only “ruination” happening to the economy is through his tariff plan, which is pushing us closer to a recession. But his repeated attacks show his contempt for the entire judicial process, and that could lead to some serious Constitutional problems if he goes further. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Donald Trump is of course, continuing to rage about the fact that he has been slapped down by the federal courts couple hundred times and the latest SmackDown that he received, of course, last week, the judge striking down his tariffs, but then the appellate court putting a stay on it and saying, listen, the tariffs can stay in place for now, but we still have that trial to bear itself out. So Trump's mad. He's mad that the judge said, I can't declare an economic emergency just 'cause I don't understand what a trade deficit is. That's not okay. So Trump got on truth social and decided to alert his maga base to the fact that the courts are out of control and are going to destroy America.

Here's what Trump said. If the courts somehow rule against us on tariffs, which is not expected, that would allow other countries to hold our nation hostage with their anti-American tariffs that they would use against us, this would mean the economic ruination of the United States of America. First of all, that might be the biggest word that Donald Trump has ever used correctly, rumination. Uh, so whoever told him to use that word, good job for you. I don't think Trump was smart. Uh, Trump had never heard that word unless he thought he was making it up, and then it turns out it actually was a real word, and he didn't know that. But either way, probably the biggest word he is ever used correctly. Second of all, none of that is true. The whole reason there are retaliatory tariffs in place with other countries right now is in the name itself, right?

They're, they're retaliatory because you put a tariff on them first, and then they put one on us where one had not previously existed, but they did it to screw us because we're trying to screw them. Because, again, you don't know what a trade deficit is, but none of that matters. What matters is what Donald Trump sent to his base right there. That is a warning. And the federal court system, the US Marshal service that protects federal judges, knows that this post from Donald Trump was not because the judges are actually gonna cause the economic ruination of America. That's not gonna happen. Trump's doing that on his own. What this was was a dog whistle to his base. Keep an eye on these people. Do what you need to, to these people because they are undermining me, and I am your Lord and Savior Donald J. Trump. That's what this is. And if you don't believe me, then how about this? Robert Reisch, former labor secretary, had an op-ed that came out this week, um, where he

Explained that the threats against federal judges have literally hit an all time high in the United States of America. And yes, it's against the judges who are ruling against Donald Trump. And yes, all of these threats according to the US Marshals are coming from people angry about these decisions where they're overturning. Donald Trump's executive orders, overturning his tariffs, overturning this and that MAGA is not happy and they're threatening to murder the judges. So when Trump goes out there and puts a post out like this, he knows what he's doing. He no longer has to even give names. He doesn't have to instruct his base on what to do. He knows they know to go and do these things. That's what this post is about, because Donald Trump, I firmly believe, is hoping one of his most ardent followers is gonna go out there and commit some murders.
