Trump Says Court Ruled Biden's Digital Equity Act Unconstitutional

Trump Says Court Ruled Biden's Digital Equity Act Unconstitutional

Trump credits Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's legal fight for the ruling, calling the law a racist taxpayer-funded giveaway.

  • Trump says the ruling confirms what he predicted about the law last year.
  • Lutnick fought the law "at my direction," per Trump's Truth Social post.
  • Trump says the law used tax dollars to divide Americans instead of serving all.

Why it matters: A court ruling has a docket number and a judge; a Truth Social post has neither.
