"Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on tariffs issued yesterday, after MANY months of contemplation, by the United States Supreme Court, please let this statement serve to represent that I, as President of the United States of America, will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff on Countries, many of which have been 'ripping' the US off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level. During the next short number of months, the Trump Administration will determine and issue the new and legally permissible Tariffs, which will continue our extraordinarily successful process of Making America Great Again GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!!! Thank you for"
"In a 6-3 decision penned by Chief Justice John Roberts, the high court found that "nothing" in the text of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) "enables the president to unilaterally impose tariffs." Trump responded by not only lashing out at the justices but also invoking Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for a 10% global tariff beginning February 24."
The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision finding that the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not enable the president to unilaterally impose tariffs. Following that ruling, President Trump announced he would invoke Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose a 10% global import tariff starting February 24 and then increased that levy to 15% via a Truth Social post. The Truth Social message framed the tariff hike as legally permissible and aimed at countries accused of "ripping" the United States, with further tariff details to be issued by the administration. Governor Gavin Newsom called the 15% increase a new tax on the American people.
