Arguably The Worst

President Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology -- to the individual Justices he smeared on Friday and the institution itself.  Mr. Trump doubtless won't offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency.

This is the same Court that ruled Mr. Trump's way on presidential immunity, which was more personally consequential for this President.  Mr. Trump shouldn't have been surprised by the Court.  We warned from the start that this would be the result of his unlawful resort to IEEPA.  The fault doesn't lie with the Justices but with his own tariff obsessions.

-- The Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal, "Trump Demeans Himself as He Attacks the Supreme Court" (20 February 2026), regarding President Trump's rant in which he "lit into the Justices who voted against him as traitors bought by foreign interest" after the Court voted 6-3 to overturn his signature "emergency" tariff policy
