CNN reported that Trump was at the White House having a breakfast meeting with governors when the Supreme Court ruling came down, and that he made the remark about the decision.

A person familiar with the matter said Trump also told attendees he had a "backup plan" in mind.

CNN, citing multiple people, reported that Trump had complained the Supreme Court was taking too long on the tariff ruling, and had also said that with so much at stake, the court would not issue a decision against the tariff.
