He noted the February ruling that disappointed him and highlighted that it split the right<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/worker-petitions-supreme-court-to-strike-down-mandatory-union-dues\/\" title=\"Worker Petitions ... To Strike Down Mandatory Union Dues\">-leaning justices<\/a> he appointed, Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, who joined the decision to strike down the tariffs. Trump claimed the justices were \u201cswayed by foreign interests\u201d and asserted he would face problems for speaking the truth.
