Former President Donald J. Trump posted several updates on his Truth Social account on August 8, 2025, focusing on the impact of his tariff policies and warning about potential judicial intervention.
In a post from August 8, Trump stated, "President Trump's tariffs are making the stock market boom as the US takes in billions of dollars, but Trump warns of judicial activists that may try to stop them. Donald J. Trump Truth Social 08.08.25 10:38 AM EST https://t.co/c6Z9STbQKy".
Later that day, additional posts appeared from the same account: "President Trump News Community - BREAKING https://t.co/rzq80n2ZvR" at 15:43 UTC and "President Trump News Community https://t.co/GJ2N3qw2zY" at 15:58 UTC.
Trump's comments regarding tariffs reflect ongoing debates over U.S. trade policy and its effects on both domestic markets and international relations. During his presidency and subsequent public appearances, Trump has consistently advocated for tariffs as a means to bolster American industries and generate revenue for the federal government. However, such measures have faced criticism from some economists and policymakers who argue they can lead to trade tensions and increased costs for consumers.
His mention of "judicial activists" refers to concerns among some political figures about court decisions potentially impacting executive actions related to trade or economic policy.
