BETRAYAL: Supreme Court GUTS Trump's Tariff Powers in 'Outrageous' Ruling That Helps China

The Supreme Court delivered a crushing blow to President Trump's America First trade agenda Friday, issuing what Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) called an "outrageous" ruling that strips away critical tools needed to combat the unfair trade practices that have devastated American manufacturing and workers for decades.

The decision comes at a time when the Trump-Vance administration is working overtime to restore America's industrial dominance and protect our workers from the predatory trade practices of countries like China that have been robbing us blind for years.

"This ruling handcuffs our country's ability to fight the unfair trade that has harmed the American worker," Moreno declared, capturing the frustration of millions of patriots who voted for Trump specifically to end the globalist trade deals that shipped our jobs overseas.

"We cannot allow activist judges to tie the hands of our President when it comes to defending American workers and American industry from foreign competitors who don't play by the rules."

For too long, establishment politicians in both parties stood by while countries like China flooded our markets with subsidized goods, manipulated their currency, and stole our intellectual property. President Trump changed all that with his bold use of tariffs as both a negotiating tool and a way to level the playing field for American manufacturers.

But now, just as Trump is hitting his stride in his second term, unelected judges are attempting to sabotage his efforts to put America First in trade policy.

Deep State Strikes Back

This Supreme Court ruling reeks of the same globalist mentality that gave us NAFTA, allowed China into the WTO, and created the massive trade deficits that have been bleeding America dry for decades. It's exactly the kind of judicial activism that prevents real leaders like Trump from cleaning up the mess left by previous administrations.

The question patriots should be asking is simple: whose side is the Supreme Court really on – hardworking American families or the multinational corporations that profit from cheap foreign labor and unfair trade practices?

Can someone explain how this affects the tariffs that are already in place? Are they going to be rolled back immediately or is this just about future tariff authority?

From what I understand, existing tariffs stay but the President's ability to impose new ones under national security grounds has been severely limited.

This is exactly what I was afraid of when Roberts kept siding with the liberal justices. Trump's tariffs were working and now the Court hands China a victory on a silver platter!

Roberts has been a huge disappointment. We need justices who will actually defend American interests instead of worrying about what the media thinks.

As someone who runs a manufacturing business, I saw firsthand how Trump's tariffs leveled the playing field against cheap Chinese imports. My company was finally able to compete again. This ruling is going to hurt American workers and businesses.

Absolutely outrageous! The President should have the authority to protect American industry from unfair foreign competition.
