Supreme Court Slams Trump Tariffs in Crushing Blow to His Power Grab

from The Mark Thompson Show · host The Mark Thompson Show

Donald Trump suffers a major legal setback as the Supreme Court rules 6–3 that he exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping global tariffs under emergency powers, delivering a significant blow to his second-term trade agenda. The decision raises major questions about presidential power, congressional authority over taxation, and the future of U.S. trade policy — with potential ripple effects for markets, consumers, and international negotiations. We break down what the justices actually said, why even conservative members of the court pushed back, what happens next for Trump’s tariff strategy, and how this ruling could reshape the balance of power between the White House and Congress. We’ll run it past Michael Shure and Mo Kelly. They join us on Fridays to analyze the biggest stories of the week. Friday Fabulous Florida and The Cultue Blaster, Michael Snyder, kick off some levity for the weekend ahead.
