Now What? Supreme Court Rules Against Trump Tariffs

When the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump's tariffs were illegal, he immediately attacked the justice's decision while claiming that he doesn't need Congress to enact tariffs.

For months Trump has been saying if the Supreme Court ruled against his tariffs, it would ruin the U.S. economy. When the word came down about the ruling Trump and his cronies suddenly changed their minds and claimed it wouldn't change anything.

In typical Trumpian style he accused the justices that ruled against him, without evidence, claiming that foreign interests influenced the court's decision. "Foreign interests have a lot of influence over the Supreme Court, whether it's through fear or respect or friendships, I don't know," he told the press shortly after the decision became public.

Trump also said that he's going to sign an order today to, "impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122." Section 122 allows the president to TEMPORARILY institute a "temporary import surcharge" of up to 15% if he finds there are "large and serious balance-of-payments deficits," and to prevent an "imminent" and "significant" depreciation of the U.S. dollar in foreign exchange markets.

If implemented as Trump described in his press conference, a 10% global tariff would be a major downgrade of Trump's sweeping import duties. Moving global trading partners to a 10% levy would cut tariffs on nearly all foreign nations except the U.K., which secured a 10% tariff last year.

Defiant as ever, Trump said he won't refund companies that paid tariffs over the last year because the Supreme Court didn't address that in the filing, paving the way for years of litigation. It's Trump's favorite stalling tactic that's worked throughout his corrupt career. 

Everyone in the regime hierarchy is going out of their way to act like the court's decision isn't going to slow Trump down despite his dire warnings for months claiming that if the court didn't side with him, "it would be an economic disaster."

MAGA Treasure Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking in Dallas today, said the regime is going to rework the sweeping import taxes under "other" legal authorities. He claimed that the ruling will "result in virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026." This pathetic propaganda is going to be repeated in the days and months ahead as the regime struggles with the side effects of the Supreme Court's decision.

I don't think it helped Trump's standing with at least six of the justice's when Trump called them "...lap dogs for RHINOS and the radical left" and "very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution."

As it stands, as we all know it's Trump who is unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution and if it wasn't for the courts he would declare himself a dictator today.
