President Donald Trump revealed which Supreme Court justice he considers to be his "new hero" after a high court ruling rejected his sweeping tariff powers on Friday.
Trump made the declaration in a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday morning, a day after the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to block Trump’s tariff powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
"My new hero is United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and, of course, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito," the post read. "There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that they want to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
While all three justices voted with the minority, Kavanaugh wrote a fiery dissent that called the high court’s decision "illogical."
