In a stunning betrayal of American sovereignty, the Supreme Court ruled against President Donald Trump's tariff program Friday morning, effectively gutting one of his core America First policies and handing a massive victory to foreign competitors at the expense of U.S. workers.
The Court declared that Trump's executive orders imposing broad tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) exceeded presidential authority, claiming the 1977 law doesn't authorize the commander-in-chief to unilaterally impose import duties to address trade deficits, national security threats, or emergencies like the deadly fentanyl crisis killing Americans.
This is judicial activism at its worst.
Think about what the Court just did: They essentially told the American people that protecting our economy, securing our borders, and fighting the fentanyl epidemic that's claiming 100,000+ American lives annually doesn't constitute a legitimate use of emergency powers. Meanwhile, these same justices had no problem letting previous administrations wage endless foreign wars under far flimsier legal justifications.
Globalists Celebrate While Americans Suffer
This decision is a gift to China, Mexico, and every other nation that's been ripping off American workers for decades. The tariffs were working—bringing manufacturing jobs back home, forcing fair trade deals, and giving American companies a fighting chance against foreign competitors who don't play by the same rules.
"Once again, we see how the deep state and its judicial allies will move heaven and earth to stop any policy that puts America First,"one Trump administration official told reporters off the record.
The ruling comes at a time when President Trump's economic policies were delivering real results for working families. Now, thanks to nine unelected lawyers in robes, American workers are back to competing with slave labor and countries that manipulate their currencies.
The question every patriot should be asking: If the President of the United States can't protect American workers from unfair foreign competition during a national emergency, what exactly can he do? This isn't just about trade policy—it's about whether America will remain a sovereign nation or become a puppet of globalist interests.
