I think this is an ELI5 question. The Supreme Court squashed all of Trumps sweeping tariffs. Then Trump comes along saying 10 percent global tariff isn't that what the SC just squashed?

Or is he really that dumb think ok they blocked tariffs on all the countries on my list. So I will one up them by doing a global tariff. Explain to me the thinking behind that? Sorry you have to debase yourself to understand Trump mind. no sarcasm.

We’re flirting with a Constitutional Crisis.

The legal arguments for Trump’s actions are bullshit. There’s no reason to pay them any mind. Rule of law has long been abandoned. There’s no shortage of crimes Trump’s committed that could justify his removal from office. But the Legislative branch is filled with a mixture of traitors that desire a King, and cowards that daren’t stand against one for fear of loss of their own elevated position in society. The Judicial is, as well. At some point, perhaps now, there will come a time when the other branches of government see they’ve given up too much power and are fading into irrelevancy, and will try to assert themselves. Trump will then openly defy them. That’s the point at which the US completes the transition into a dictatorship.

We are full on in a constitutional crisis. Have been for a while.
It’s only a crisis if the Legislative or Judicial take a stand. So far, they’ve been surrendering. Even this tariff ruling is deliberately narrow to try to avoid Trump’s open defiance of the courts.
