Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, ushered in under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, were unlawfully imposed
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, ushered in under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, were unlawfully imposed. Trump had used the act to charge huge levies on countries, including 50% on India, which was later reduced, and 34% on China.
By Friday night, the president posted on Truth Social that he signed an executive order enabling him to bypass Congress and impose a 10% tax on imports from around the world. “It is my Great Honor to have just signed, from the Oval Office, a Global 10% Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately,” Trump wrote.
Less than 24 hours later, Trump said he was bumping up the tariffs to 15% “based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday.”
I imagine him in the bunker under the “ball room”, ‘Downfall’ style, surrounded by his bootlickers who just told him about the SCOTUS decision, and he bangs his fists on the table and screams “This was an order!!!” like the madman he is.
Senile.
This is a baby tantrum, not senility.
So was this, like an hour ago, 10%? Must be based on sound cost-benefit analysis…
It took them that long to explain to him that 15 was higher than 10
Wow, fastest time on record!
Mutherfucker was counting on tariffs to offset government revenue after he cut taxes on himself and all his wealthy friends. Which is exactly what made them illegal. What does he think this next round is going to accomplish?
He also needs that revenue to personally enrich himself from taxpayer money. He gave himself $10 billion of taxpayer money for creating his Board of “peace”.
The population of the USA as of Feb 2026 is 342.3 million people. This means that trump personally took $29.21 from every single American living today (including newborn children and aging senior citizens) and put that money in his personal bank account.
Its things like this that I cannot understand how poverty stricken trump supporters are still okay with him and his actions.

Don the John is IN CHARGE!!!
Yes. Please keep it up Trump. We need more time to be in forced diversification from the US.
Fun fact, in Canada our total exports have actually been going up, including our total exports to the US. But as a preventage of our exports, exports to the US have shrunk because our exports to the rest of the world have grown faster.
We should send Trump a gift basket.
Who is going to actually enforce these?
What if people just refuse to collect anything, whether it’s his 10 or 15 percent?
And tell anyone asking questions to take it up with the Supremes.
Customs?
Exactly. ICE goons, really. The better question is who do people think will enforce the supreme court ruling?
Diaper Don taxing Americans to funnel the money to his board of peace to give to his children in order to build a riviera resort in Gaza.
Supreme Court: your tariffs are illegal
Orange Jackass: fine, I’ll impose different tariffs and I’ll make them worse just to spite you
“All new tariffs with blackjack and
hookerslittle kiddies!”
Lol, I have a real question, does anything actually happen when Trump makes these outlandish terrif statement?
Yes taxes are collected from Americans.
More people get convinced to look business outside the US.
Eventually, he is going to expire. In his sleep or at his desk. God preserved him for a purpose. He is fulfilling that purpose in his life one day his purpose will be fulfilled with his passing.
We shouldn’t have to wait for his death. Unfortunately rich people live long.
He is very old and in very poor health and the statistics are on our side.
Well his father also had dementia and was an alcoholic.
He lived to 93.
The statistics on health are for the plebes. Not for the rich.
He is, for some stupid fucking reason, allowed to impose tarrifs for 150 days.
Then it goes to congress to vote on whether to keep them, and they likely won’t.
What a fucking asshole
Where does the 150 days come from? FFS, we had nearly a full year before SCOTUS struck down the shit he started last year.
The 150 day limit is part of the law he is citing to justify this set of tariffs.
The Trade Act of 1974.
WTF, that allows Krasnov to raise consumer prices no matter what.
Only up to 15% and only for 150 days. After that Congress has to approve an extension.
That being said… I don’t know if there is any actual codified safeguard in it to prevent him from just stopping it and starting a new set again. I haven’t looked at the exact wording.
and they likely won’t.
You mean the same Republican-dominated congress that has basically given him handjobs every time he breaks a fucking law and does something that is actually under the direction of congress? The same Republican-dominated congress that has essentially abdicated any responsibility to govern at all? I’m skeptical, but I hope you’re right.
What a fucking asshole
For real, this is another mask-off moment. He had played up the tariffs as a game to push other countries around, but clearly and literally the only reason he is doing this is because he’s pissed off at the Supreme Court. It has fuck-all to do with other countries because it’s the same rate, worldwide, with no room for negotiations. He’s supposed to be this great negotiator of trade deals with other countries, yet he’s blowing up every single potential trade deal with a flat 15% worldwide because he’s pissed off at people in his own government.
If people can’t tell that he doesn’t give a flying fuck about anything except pushing people around, doesn’t matter who or about what, they’re fucking idiots. He’s just a cruel fucking asshole, like you said.
If people can’t tell that he doesn’t give a flying fuck about anything except pushing people around, doesn’t matter who or about what, they’re fucking idiots.
I’ve been spending more time on Facebook, to get sort of a bead on the general consensus. Even accounting for bots, there are a lot of fucking idiots in this country.
From the bottom of my heart…
fuck you Trump.
