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.”

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

So was this, like an hour ago, 10%? Must be based on sound cost-benefit analysis…

Senile.

This is a baby tantrum, not senility.

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?

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.

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.

It took them that long to explain to him that 15 was higher than 10

Here we go again, tariff schizo 2026 edition.

Wow, fastest time on record!

*Bored of Peace

This is Trump's "power move".

We know it's illegal. He knows it's illegal. He wants everyone to know that he knows it's illegal, and he'll do it anyway. What are you gonna do? Yell at him?

He will continue to escalate, he takes great delight in "sticking it" to anyone who disagrees with him. There is no line that he won't cross.

He takes even more delight in "sticking it" to people who AGREE with him. As a rapist, he rapes anybody he can any way he can.

Just hurry the fuck up and die already. Jesus Christ.

That’s cute.

The Supreme Court made a decision and Trump is lashing out like a child in a tantrum. At least that’s what he wants people to believe. It’s probably all about the Epstein files and the fact he was up to his neck with a ring of wealthy pedophile he wants to distract from.

Make it 20%! Nay 25!%
Even retroactively bill your citizens for imports of years ago!

Fucking toddler. Tantrum-throwing, pants-shitting toddler.

I think it's kind of Legal? Smoot -Hawley from 1934-ish was never taken off the books. I cant remember if that's the one he's using for this, but it's like that. There's a never-used vestigial law that lets him do up to 15% for 150 days.

As much of a known-destroyer of America he is, this is Congress failing to do it's bare minimum job of holding the purse strings. They could stop him tomorrow and we would be better off if everyone realized thst

Edit: this one isn't smoot-hawley (1930), sorry. Trade act of 1974. 15%, 150 days and a lot of exemptions under section 122. Congress should still do it job

This time is technically legal because of Hawley, but it should go back to when he started this dumb shit in the first place. We'll see if we can get a Federal Judge to smack this down in the next week.

All these companies collecting this money just need to fucking stop, and say "Fine then sue me" to the WH, but then of course we know they'll be flooded with ICE. Trump has a private army now that needs to be dealt with in order to stop all this shit.

Now watch him reduce the tariffs again in a little while and all of his rich entourage getting richer because they can buy stocks right before.

20000000% Tariff!!!!!!?!

Your can help him along by doing more of whatever stresses him out the most.

I don't think "fuck directly with people's shit because you were handed an L" is a winning political strategy. Will it cost him? Hell no! We've never had a cult leader as president before.

Low energy

Sic semper taco

Yes. Please keep it up Trump. We need more time to be in forced diversification from the US.

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.

Where does the 150 days come from? FFS, we had nearly a full year before SCOTUS struck down the shit he started last year.

Honestly, I wish they'd all ban together and say we aren't collecting any of this. The problem is that they individually bend the knee, comply in advance, etc.

The 150 day limit is part of the law he is citing to justify this set of tariffs.

The Trade Act of 1974.

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.

From the bottom of my heart…

fuck you Trump.

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.

@CharlesDarwin @just_another_person They saw a chance to justify price increases, destroy the smaller companies, and they just pay a small fraction of what they actually collect.they banded together, to screw the People.

Three Pulitzers for you, one for each word

*Department of War-mongering

Don the John is IN CHARGE!!!

Hey Google, define: racket

Supreme Court: your tariffs are illegal

Orange Jackass: fine, I'll impose different tariffs and I'll make them worse just to spite you

I think it’s kind of Legal?

Here's the thing. The constitution says CONGRESS levies taxes, not the president. Any law CONGRESS passes must be IN PURSUANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION. Making a law that abrogates any part the constitution is not IN PURSUANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION. The only way to do that is TO AMEND the constitution.

So, no. It's not kind of legal.

and any judge worth the air it would take make such a statement should FUCKING KNOW THAT!

Congress has ceded more and more authority to the executive and Trump is taking advantage of that. This law (1974) grants the president the ability to levy tariffs up to 15% for 150 days. That Congress sucks is against the spirit of the constitution but not the letter of it

WTF, that allows Krasnov to raise consumer prices no matter what.

Prices are going to increase again!

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.

Those cheeseburdlers have been very disappointing to all, in their ongoing failure to do their job.

But that's the point. Congress CANNOT cede authority without amending the constitution. Any 'law' they make doing so is invalid because it violates the constitution. A LAW CANNOT OVERRIDE THE CONSTITUTION.

Seriously. I eat so much as a quarter pounder and I feel like my heart is about to explode. How does this fucker get away with it, eating this garbage every day??

Ya'll Americans are cooked. A national sales tax that a crazy bastard will steal for himself and you don't have guns to do anything about it.
