Emperor Donald is dismayed that “his” judges are not doing what he demands. It seems that they don’t know who butters their bread and they actually have the hubris, nay, the unmitigated gall, to believe that the rule of law and the Constitution should supersede His Majesty’s whims. Can you believe it? Have you ever heard of such a thing? So Donald decided to work his pudgy thumbs into a frenzy and go into a meltdown on Truth Social.
President Donald Trump finally issued a public statement on Truth Social about the lawsuits seeking to strike down his “reciprocal tariffs” on Thursday evening — not just attacking the judiciary but specifically going after the Federalist Society, blaming it for influencing the judges who ruled against him.
Trump’s tariffs were ruled unlawful by the U.S. Court of International Trade on Wednesday, and while that ruling is currently on hold due to an appellate court stepping in, some legal experts believe conservatives on the judiciary will ultimately not bail Trump out.
“Where do these initial three Judges come from?” wrote Trump. “How is it possible for them to have potentially done such damage to the United States of America? Is it purely a hatred of ‘TRUMP?’ What other reason could it be? I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges. I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real ‘sleazebag’ named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions. He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court — I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is! In any event, Leo left The Federalist Society to do his own ‘thing.'”
The Federalist Society is a notorious right-wing legal group that has established a “pipeline” for conservative lawyers to the federal bench. Trump relied extensively on advice from the group, and Leo, in his prolific judicial appointments in his first term, but in his second term he has focused more on nominating personal loyalists to judgeships, like his former attorney Emil Bove.
“I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations,” Trump continued. “This is something that cannot be forgotten! With all of that being said, I am very proud of many of our picks, but very disappointed in others. They always must do what’s right for the Country!”
“What’s right for the country” is Trump-speak for, “Do what I want, GODDAMNIT!!!! %@#$& INGRATES!! ARRGGHHH!!! I OWN YOU!!! YOU SERVE ME!!!!” This is the leader of the free world here. May a merciful God help us all, since we’re too stupid to help ourselves in this country. And he wasn’t finished.
“Backroom ‘hustlers’ must not be allowed to destroy our Nation!” wrote Trump. “The horrific decision stated that I would have to get the approval of Congress for these Tariffs. In other words, hundreds of politicians would sit around D.C. for weeks, and even months, trying to come to a conclusion as to what to charge other Countries that are treating us unfairly. If allowed to stand, this would completely destroy Presidential Power — The Presidency would never be the same! This decision is being hailed all over the World by every Country, other than the United States of America. Radical Left Judges, together with some very bad people, are destroying America.”
This would be hysterically funny if it wasn’t real. If this was political satire, I would be howling at a supposed leader who regards judges who uphold the rule of law as “backroom hustlers.” But this is what’s running the country, folks. This is the face that we present to the world in the year 2025. This is who we are on the world stage. This is not only the ugly American, this is the stupid, venal, corrupt and embarrassing American.
“Under this decision, Trillions of Dollars would be lost by our Country, money that will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” he added. “It would be the harshest financial ruling ever leveled on us as a Sovereign Nation. The President of the United States must be allowed to protect America against those that are doing it Economic and Financial harm. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Trump is trying to “protect” us from the backroom hustlers, while Pete Hegseth is trying to protect us from leakers and Stephen Miller is trying to protect us from POCs and the plain truth of the matter is that we need protection from them — not the people they’re targeting and harassing, but them. Trump most of all.
And it’s not even June yet. The days of this administration are already grueling and interminable and we have so many more ahead. I never thought the day would dawn when I would find myself ashamed to be an American, but dawn it has.

Friends, if there’s any spare change in the couch cushions, we could use a hand. It’s been a tough year and you see what we’re up against. But PolitiZoom is committed to being here until the bitter end. We shall overcome Trump. Whatever it takes, we shall persevere. Thanks. Ursula
The only people doing so much damage to the USA are himself and his minions. As you said, Ursula, God help us as we obviously cannot help ourselves.
I cannot give up on my country. I’m mad as hell at tRump and the RepubliCAN’TS and the mess they put us in. But no matter how much tRump tried to burn it all down, I still love my country.! I’m not ashamed to say it. And if it is all gone some day, I will still remember the idea of America and believe that we will rise again! God bless America!!!
