Today I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.

And we're also initiating several Section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies.

Well, thank you very much for being here.

The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and

I'm ashamed of certain members of the Court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country.

I'd like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas Alito and Kavanaugh for their strength and wisdom and love of our country, which is right now very proud of those justices.

When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way that anyone can argue against them.

Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic.

They're so happy and they're dancing in the streets.

But they won't be dancing for long, that I can assure you.

The Democrats on the Court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote no.

They're an automatic no, just like in Congress.

They're against anything that makes America strong, healthy and great again.

They also are a frankly disgrace to our nation, those justices.

They're an automatic no, no matter how good a case you have it said no.

It's one thing you can do with some of our people.

Others think they're being politically correct, which has happened before far too often with certain members of this Court.

And it's happened so often with this Court.

What a shame having to do with voting in particular, when in fact they're just being fools and lapdogs for the RINOs and the radical left Democrats.

And not that they should have anything at all to do with it.

They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution.

It's my opinion that the Court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think.

With all the cheating that went on, there was a lot of it, but

But these people are obnoxious, ignorant and loud.

And I think certain justices are afraid of that.

This was an important case to me, more as a Symbol of economic national security.

And also, I would say, just for our country itself, so important, because we're doing so well as a country, we've never done so well.

The good news is that there are methods, practices, statutes and authorities, and

as recognized by the entire court in this terrible decision, and

also as recognized by Congress, which they refer to, that are even stronger than the IPA tariffs available to me as President of the United States.

And in actuality, I was very modest in my ask of other countries and businesses because I wanted to do.

And very important, I want to be very well behaved because I wanted to do anything.

I didn't want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court because I understand the court.

I understand how they are very easily swayed.

I have very effectively utilized tariffs over the past year to make America great again.

Our stock market has just recently broken 50,000 on the Dow and simultaneously and even more amazingly broken 70, broken 7,000 on the S&P2 numbers that everybody thought upon our landslide election victory could not be attained.

Nobody thought it was possible to do it within four years, and we did it in one year.

You'll go back and you read the geniuses, read their statements.

All of the Nobel Prize winners in economics, they said, no, you couldn't do it in four years.

We broke every record in the book and we're continuing to do so.

Tariffs have likewise been used to end five of the eight wars that I settled.

I settled eight wars, whether you like it or not, including India, Pakistan, big ones.

Prime Minister of Pakistan said yesterday at the great meeting that we had, the peace board.

He said yesterday that President Trump could have saved 35 million lives by getting us to stop fighting.

They were getting ready to do some bad things, but they've given us great national security.

together with our strong borders, reduced fentanyl coming into our country by 30% when I use them as a penalty against countries illegally sending this poison into our country to poison our youth.

After the decision, there's nobody left to appeal to.

But again, those three people, Such respect.

I've had a lot of respect for them anyway, but such great respect.

But other alternatives will now be used to replace the Ones that the court incorrectly rejected.

We have alternatives, great alternatives.

We'll take in more money and we'll be a lot stronger for it.

We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars.

To show you how ridiculous the opinion is, however, the court said that I'm not allowed to charge even one dollar.

I would have used one penny, but we don't make the pennies anymore.

Can't charge $1 to any country under IPA.

Not $1, I assume to protect other countries.

This must have been done to protect those other countries.

Certainly not which they should be interested in protecting.

That's what they're supposed to be protecting.

But I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same country.

I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country destroying embargo.

I can't charge $1 because that's not what it says and that's not the way it even reads.

I can do anything I want to do to them, but I can't charge any money.
