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.”

          Nah Vance 100% is going to be doing shady shit and making a lot of unethical deals to push through executive orders and influence legislation to benefit his benefactors.

          If the GOP honestly thought Vance would be better they’d be trying to force trump out by now so Vance can do damage control for the midterms. They know the vice pedophile is just as bad as the pedophile in chief so they won’t do anything. Or worse, the GOP is so weak and divided now they don’t have the votes to do anything without the magats and they’ve burned every bipartisan bridge down to the waterline.

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