DEEP STATE WINS: Supreme Court BETRAYS Trump, Strikes Down Liberation Day Tariffs in Shocking 6-3 Ruling

In a stunning betrayal that has left MAGA patriots reeling, the Supreme Court delivered a crushing 6-3 blow to President Trump's America First agenda, striking down his sweeping "Liberation Day" tariffs in a decision that split the conservative majority right down the middle.

Chief Justice John Roberts—once again playing the role of establishment swamp creature—authored the majority opinion that found the International Emergency Economic Powers Act doesn't give Trump the authority to impose the broad tariffs designed to protect American workers and manufacturing.

The shocking alliance saw three conservative justices abandon Trump when he needed them most, joining with the liberal wing to kneecap the President's signature economic policy just three weeks into his second term. This is exactly the kind of deep state judicial activism that has plagued conservative presidents for decades.

Roberts Leads Another Conservative Betrayal

Sound familiar, patriots? This is the same John Roberts who stabbed conservatives in the back on Obamacare, who's consistently sided with the establishment whenever it really mattered. Now he's doing the swamp's bidding again, using legal technicalities to override the will of the American people who voted overwhelmingly for Trump's tariff agenda.

The "Liberation Day" tariffs were designed to finally free American industry from decades of unfair foreign competition, particularly from China's communist regime. These weren't just economic tools—they were weapons in the fight to restore American economic sovereignty.

"This decision puts foreign interests ahead of American workers and shows exactly why we need justices who will stand with America First, not the globalist establishment," a senior White House official told reporters.

The ruling comes at a critical time when Trump was using tariff policy to rebuild American manufacturing and punish nations that have been ripping us off for decades. Now the Supreme Court has handed those same foreign competitors a massive victory.

This betrayal raises serious questions: Can conservatives ever trust the Supreme Court to defend America First policies? Or will the deep state always find a way to protect the globalist status quo, even when we control the Court?

While I support Trump, I'm actually not sure tariffs are the best approach here. Shouldn't we be focusing on reducing regulations instead of increasing government intervention in trade?

Absolutely disgusting! The swamp runs deeper than we thought if even our own appointed justices are stabbing America in the back.

This is exactly why we need term limits for SCOTUS. They get comfortable and forget who put them there.

RINOS everywhere! Even on the Supreme Court apparently.

Which three justices sided with Trump? At least some of them still have a backbone. The other six are clearly compromised by special interests.

My plant was finally hiring again because of these tariffs. Now what? More layoffs while China laughs at us. Thanks for nothing, Supreme Court.

Same here brother. We were actually competitive for the first time in years.

Can someone explain what these Liberation Day tariffs actually were? I thought they were supposed to help bring manufacturing back to America.
