"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.''”

~ Robert B. Hubbell

"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 same Supreme Court that gave Trump 'absolute immunity' and a Get Out of Jail Free pass for his numerous crimes now realizes that their flawed weapon. ...

In God We Trust is right there on our bills. You never mess with the color green."
