""The USA markets just hit another ALL TIME HIGH - ALL OF THEM!!!" Trump wrote. "THANK YOU MISTER TARIFF!!!""
"Trump called on the Supreme Court to keep the tariffs in place, saying they will usher in an era of "UNPARALLELED GREATNESS" for the country. The Supreme Court is currently considering the legality of his tariffs based on the administration's questionable claims that they're justified by "national emergencies.""
""These tariffs antagonized many of America's closest security partners," the Brookings Institute's Geoffrey Gertz wrote in an evaluation from September. "Moreover, the Trump administration's frequent recourses to national security on flimsy grounds will make it more difficult for the U.S. to push back when other countries cloak protectionism in tenuous appeals to national security.""
President Donald Trump praised record highs on Wall Street and attributed those gains to tariffs, urging the Supreme Court to preserve them. He claimed the tariffs would create an era of "UNPARALLELED GREATNESS" and asserted that national and financial security had never been stronger. The Supreme Court is reviewing the legality of the tariffs amid administration claims of justification by "national emergencies." Many experts dispute that tariffs strengthen national security and warn they have antagonized allied partners. Brookings concluded tariffs could weaken U.S. leverage against protectionism. Stock-market highs have not translated into broad prosperity, reflecting a K-shaped economy where wealthy Americans gain while working-class households struggle.
