"Trump described the ruling as "deeply disappointing" and "ridiculous," adding that he was "absolutely ashamed" of the six Supreme Court justices who ruled against him "for not having the courage to do what's right for our country." "They're just being fools and lap dogs for the RINOs and the radical left Democrats," Trump said of the high court majority in an afternoon press briefing, referring to "Republicans in Name Only." "They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution.""
"Trump had made tariffs the bedrock of his economic pitch to voters going into the midterm elections, even describing tariffs as his "favorite word in the dictionary." He promised that factories would relocate from overseas and bring jobs with them, and he warned that losing the tariffs could plunge the U.S. into a deep recession. But Friday's ruling will most likely prolong political and economic chaos over international trade through the election year."
The Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump lacked authority to declare an economic emergency and impose sweeping new tariffs on imports. Trump had centered his midterm economic pitch on tariffs, promising factories and jobs would return and warning of recession if tariffs were removed. The ruling could prolong political and economic uncertainty over international trade during the election year. Trump called the decision "deeply disappointing" and "ridiculous," accused justices of lacking courage, and vowed to bypass Congress to impose tariffs under existing law. The administration may face years of legal battles to determine whether it must return billions in tariff revenue already collected.
