"By a 6-3 vote on Friday, the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s regime of 'emergency' tariffs, on the grounds that (I am summarizing at a very high level here) federal law does not allow a doddering near-octogenarian to wreak havoc on the global economy by mashing out Truth Social posts from the comfort of a White House toilet seat."

"Tariffs have been political malpractice for Trump.
They were an inflection point: all CBS polls post-Liberation Day have had him at a negative net approval vs. none beforehand.
All of it for nothing. Rarely have I seen people turn against a policy as fast as they did tariffs."

"I keep seeing people say that the SCOTUS ruling on tariffs will help Trump by taking economic matches from the baby.
That's wrong.
It's almost certainly going to make his political problems worse, because the ruling shines a light on the tariffs, and he is going to use other authorities to raise people's prices."

"The ruling this Friday is the first time during Trump’s second term that the justices have struck down one of his policies. Not only that, the policy they struck down is Trump’s signature economic policy – he has used tariffs to bash, lord over and terrorize dozens of other countries and make himself the King of the Economic Jungle."

"The Tax Foundation estimated that Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household about $1,000 in 2025. They projected that cost to be $1,300 in 2026. Congress’s Joint Economic Committee–Minority, made up of Democrats, estimates that number to be low. They say the actual cost has been $1,700 per household."

"It was a huge tax increase on the American people, imposed without reference at all to Congress, which is the only government body with the power to raise taxes. Now the Supreme Court has said that the chaos and cost of Trump’s tariffs was for nothing. Trump’s claim of authority to levy tariffs under IEEPA was unconstitutional all along."
"This is a big decision. It goes far beyond merely interpreting the 1997 International Emergency Economic Powers Act not to give Trump the power over tariffs that he claims to have. It reaffirms a basic constitutional principle about the division and separation of powers between Congress and the president."

"On its face, this decision clarifies that Trump cannot decide on his own not to spend money Congress has authorized and appropriated — such as the funds for U.S.A.I.D. he refused to spend. And he cannot on his own decide to go to war."
"The Supreme Court tried to save Trump from his misguided, destructive tariffs. Rather than taking the win by saying, “Thank you,” and then blaming the Court for whatever happens to the economy, Trump did the following:
1. Called the justices 'fools and lapdogs' who were 'unpatriotic and disloyal to the Constitution' and 'an embarrassment to their families.''”

"2. Suggested that some of the justices had been 'swayed by foreign interests.'
3. Immediately imposed a global 10% tariff on all imports."
CNN on Trump’s breakfast meeting with governors when he was given the news in real time: 'Apparently the breakfast had been going well. Then Trump became enraged. He started ranting about the decision, not only calling it a disgrace, but started attacking the courts at one point saying: these fucking courts!'"

The conservative Supreme Court Justices who enabled Trump's authoritarian agenda are now facing backlash from a petulant moron who fails to acknowledge the negative impact of his failed policies.
"Now, Trump is backed into a corner as he’s set to make his State of the Union Address without any major wins and negative double digits on every major issue, including the economy and immigration."
"Whether it is the 'murder-suicide' of destructive economic policies or the moral decay within a royal house, the underlying theme is the same: arrogance. We see leaders who view the state not as a responsibility, but as a 'smash and grab' opportunity. They bank on the short memories of the public, hoping a $1,000 check or a PR blitz will erase years of cruelty and incompetence."

From Presidential Overreach to Royal Reckonings, the Facade of Absolute Authority is Cracking
"They bank on the short memories of the public, hoping a $1,000 check or a PR blitz will erase years of cruelty and incompetence. But as inflation rises and the truth about systemic abuse comes to light, the public is beginning to realize that 'affordability' and 'justice' aren’t just buzzwords—they are the requirements for a functioning society."
"These tariffs were the greatest abuse of Presidential power and the most consequential policy mistake in American history. Questions of whether we need to take the keys away from someone this reckless, and this much of an impulsive fuck-up, should be getting aired now."

"Along with the Epstein scandal and the deeply un-American ICE terror campaign, Trump may be on the verge of a legitimacy crisis not just a political and economic one."
"Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker called for $1,700 refunds per family after the Supreme Court ruled President Trump’s emergency tariffs unconstitutional, arguing residents should be reimbursed for higher costs tied to the levies. Newsom issued a similar demand."

Good evening, everyone.
"After the Supreme Court invalidated Trump’s emergency tariffs, companies are lining up to recover a share of the roughly $133 billion already collected, with many—including Costco, Revlon and Bumble Bee Foods—having filed lawsuits seeking refunds even before the ruling in hopes of securing priority if the levies were struck down."

Good morning and happy Saturday, everyone.
For the first time, this Supreme Court has definitively ruled against Trump. What will happen next is entirely of its own making. …
For years now, the Supreme Court — and especially Chief Justice John Roberts — has seemed to operate under a quiet theory: If we move carefully, if we temper the language, if we bend just enough, perhaps Trump will not come for us. Perhaps he will leave the court intact."

"Perhaps he will see us as an ally, or at least not an enemy.
But Trump does not respect appeasement. He devours it."
"[Merrick] Garland gave the Supreme Court all the time in the world to deliver its wholly ahistorical—and full of more shit than a dog park on top of a horse barn on top of Donald Trump’s diaper at the end of a Taco Trump day—decision that the President is…well, a king. One imagines if Ben Franklin were around, he would’ve found a way to conduct lightning into the Supreme Court building that day."

@wdlindsy Sooooo good to see his brutal egocentrism struck down.
Many Americans surely abhor this villain?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, just like 10% yesterday, now 15% tomorrow never knows..
It's ridiculous, it's just for the show. No one can take this charlatan serious. The world is laughing.
