Trump Reign ENDS in Courtroom MELTDOWN as Supreme Justices STAND UNITED …
The Supreme Court delivered a major 6–3 ruling against Donald Trump, striking down most of his tariffs. The Court said he overstepped his authority by using emergency powers to impose broad trade measures, emphasizing that only Congress has the constitutional power to set tariffs during peacetime. Importantly, two of Trump’s own appointees—Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett—joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the liberal justices in the majority.
This decision is bigger than just tariffs. It rejects Trump’s broader theory that presidents can use emergency powers as a “blank check” to bypass Congress, reinforcing limits on executive authority under what’s known as the major questions doctrine.
Trump reacted angrily, calling the justices disloyal and accusing them of betrayal, revealing his expectation of personal loyalty rather than judicial independence. Politically and strategically, this ruling weakens his economic agenda, limits future use of emergency powers, and reduces U.S. leverage in global trade negotiations.
Overall, it marks a significant constitutional setback and a clear statement that presidential power has firm legal limits.
