Trump accuses ‘hustler' judges of attempting to destroy America
Donald Trump has accused 'hustler' judges of trying to destroy America after the US President won a late night reprieve for his sweeping global tariffs. In a post on Truth Social after the decision, Mr Trump said the original decision to block his tariffs had been 'wrong', 'political' and that it would 'completely destroy Presidential Power'. He said: 'Backroom 'hustlers' must not be allowed to destroy our Nation!' A US appeals court on Thursday ruled the Mr Trump's sweeping tariffs policy can remain in place while it hears arguments over whether he overstepped his authority by imposing global duties using emergency powers. A New York trade court had on Wednesday declared the president's tariffs unlawful, but the appeal court granted a bid from the White House to suspend the decision ahead of a full hearing. Mr Trump said: 'The ruling by the US Court of International Trade is so wrong, and so political! Hopefully, the Supreme Court will reverse this horrible, Country threatening decision, QUICKLY and DECISIVELY.' Karoline Leavitt, the White House spokesman, lashed out at 'activist judges' who had 'railroaded' the President's trade negotiations.

President Trump announces multiple judicial nominees, accuses court system of blocking him from doing his job
President Donald Trump – whose second-term agenda has been bogged down by judicial roadblocks – announced several judicial picks in Truth Social posts on Tuesday, and complained in a post on Wednesday that the judiciary is preventing him from executing the job Americans elected him to do. "Our Court System is not letting me do the job I was Elected to do. Activist judges must let the Trump Administration deport murderers, and other criminals who have come into our Country illegally, WITHOUT DELAY!!!" he declared in a Wednesday post. Trump announced Missouri Principal Deputy Solicitor General Maria Lanahan as a nominee to sit as a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, calling her "a true patriot" in a Tuesday post. He also picked Judge Cristian Stevens to serve on the same court, calling Stevens, who currently serves on the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, "a Great Patriot," in another post. TRUMP FIELDS QUESTION ABOUT HIS TIMELINE FOR JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS: 'WE'RE PUTTING 'EM IN RAPIDLY' The president also selected Zachary Bluestone to sit on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, referring to him as "a True Legal Warrior" in a Tuesday post. A Tuesday White House press release notes that "Zachary Bluestone is appellate chief and a violent crimes prosecutor in the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Missouri." Trump is tapping Show-Me State Solicitor General Joshua Divine for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri as well as the Western District of Missouri. TILLIS PUTS ONUS ON TRUMP TO AVOID BOASBERG PICKING US ATTORNEY AFTER MARTIN'S NOMINATION APPEARS SUNK "I am proud to nominate Edward Aloysius O'Connell to serve as Associate Judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.
