Enraged by the Supreme Court’s legal break on his trade policy, US President Donald Trump has now launched an all-out war against the judiciary. Trump not only scolded the court but also stopped writing Supreme Court in English capital letters in protest. This is not just a legal dispute but a direct confrontation between the White House and the country’s highest court that can shake the foundation of American democracy. Expressed his anger on the social media platform ‘Truth Social’ after the Supreme Court dealt a blow to Trump’s ambitious tariff policy. Describing the court’s decision as stupid and divisive, he announced that he would now use its name in lowercase letters out of lack of respect for the court.

1. Decision and insult to write in lower case of English
Why did Trump decide to write ‘supreme court’ in small letters?
President Trump said he will now write the name of the country’s top court in ‘lowercase’ letters due to his “complete lack of respect” for it. His anger has erupted after the court decision against his trade policy (tariff). He has termed this stand of the court as divisive and inefficient at the international level.

2. Court’s decision and Trump’s reaction
Which policy of Trump was canceled by the Supreme Court?
On Friday, the Supreme Court had canceled a large part of the tariffs (taxes) imposed by Trump. The court ruled that under the 1977 law the President does not have the authority to suddenly impose such levies on individual countries. In response, Trump said that this decision has inadvertently given him even broader powers to take action against foreign countries.

3. Warning on future decisions
On which future issues has Trump warned the court?
Trump warned that this court may reach wrong conclusions in future also on issues like China and ‘Birthright Citizenship’ (citizenship based on birth). He alleged that the court’s decisions are making China and other countries happy and rich, which is harmful for the future of America.

4. Trump’s new tariff strategy
What new steps has Trump taken after the court setback?
Despite the court decision, Trump is not ready to back down. He has vowed to use a separate legal authority to impose a 10 percent global tariff, which is expected to be increased to 15 percent on Saturday. He ended his post by repeating his slogan—“Make America Great Again!”

5. Comment on judges
Has Trump criticized all judges?
No, Trump kept them away from this criticism by mentioning “The Great Three” in his post. It is believed that he is referring to the three conservative judges whom he appointed during his previous term and who are often considered supportive of his policies.
