Donald Trump said Sunday he won’t be in attendance at the Supreme Court this week for a pivotal legal showdown that could gut the tariff policy at the center of his economic agenda.
Trump had flirted publicly with going to the oral arguments in the tariff case Wednesday, even though such a move by a sitting president would appear unprecedented. But as he returned to the White House from Florida on Sunday, he told reporters on Air Force One that he doesn’t plan to go.
At about the same time, Trump posted a longer statement on Truth Social, slipping in confirmation he won’t be at the crucial high court session.
I really wanted him to show up to add another absurdity to his legacy, but mostly to see how KBJ would write about the hilariously unsubtle intimidation tactic in her dissent.
