TRUMP DEFIANT: President Announces 10% Global Tariff After Supreme Court's SHAMEFUL Ruling Against America First Trade Policy

The Supreme Court may have sided with globalists today, but President Donald Trump isn't backing down. Within hours of a deeply disappointing ruling that blocked his lawful use of tariffs to protect American workers, the President announced he would immediately implement a 10% global tariff using alternative legal pathways — proving once again that this administration will not be stopped in its mission to put America First.

"The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I'm ashamed of certain members of the court — absolutely ashamed — for not having the courage to do what's right for our country," President Trump declared, showing the fighting spirit that earned him a decisive mandate from the American people in 2024.

Three Justices Stand for the Constitution

While the majority capitulated to establishment pressure, Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh stood firm. Their dissents were nothing short of powerful constitutional defenses of presidential authority.

Justice Kavanaugh's words cut through the judicial activism: "A matter of text, history, and precedent — [President Trump's tariffs] are clearly lawful."

The President praised these constitutional champions, noting that Justice Kavanaugh pointed to "very powerful alternative" routes that the administration can and will pursue. And that's exactly what's happening.

Trump's Immediate Response: Full Speed Ahead

Patriots, this is what leadership looks like. Instead of accepting defeat, President Trump announced bold action:

"Effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232 and existing Section 301 tariffs remain in place," the President stated. "Today, I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122 over and above our normal tariffs already being charged."

The result? America will continue collecting hundreds of billions of dollars from foreign nations that have been ripping us off for decades.

The Numbers Don't Lie: Trump's Tariffs WORK

Despite what the so-called "experts" and mainstream media prophets of doom predicted, President Trump's tariff strategy has delivered remarkable results for everyday Americans:

The U.S. Treasury has collected over $300 billion in tariff duties since January 2025. The trade deficit dropped from $904 billion to $901 billion. The budget deficit has shrunk by 17% in the first four months of this fiscal year. And tariffs are projected to raise $2.8 trillion through 2034.

Remember when Democrats and their media allies screamed that tariffs would destroy the economy? The economy grew 2.2% in 2025 — and would have hit 2.7% if not for the Democrats' government shutdown sabotage.

Meanwhile, the seasonally adjusted trade deficit with China has narrowed to its second-smallest level since 2009. So much for the "experts."

Trillions Pouring Into America

Since President Trump announced his historic trade agenda last April, something remarkable has happened: trillions of dollars in investments have flooded into the United States. Companies that once shipped jobs overseas are now onshoring operations and creating tens of thousands of American jobs.

The President's tariffs have given America unprecedented leverage, securing new and improved trade deals with foreign countries covering more than half of the global economy. This is what winning looks like, folks.

Cleaning Up Biden's Economic Disaster

Let's not forget the mess President Trump inherited. After four years of Biden's radical tax-and-spend policies, Americans were drowning in inflation and watching their purchasing power evaporate. The Democrats caused this crisis — and now they have the audacity to lecture us about affordability?

As White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt put it perfectly: "The Democrats are the greatest con artists in American politics. They are pretending to champion the issue of affordability, when they themselves created the worst inflation crisis in a generation."

President Trump's combination of spending cuts, interest savings, economic growth, and tariff revenues is expected to reduce the deficit by trillions — meaning higher take-home pay, lower interest rates, and a stronger economy for hardworking American families.

The Bottom Line

Today's Supreme Court ruling was a setback, but not a defeat. President Trump has already found a path forward, and the tariffs that are making America prosperous again will continue. The establishment wanted to stop him. The globalists wanted to preserve their rigged system. But Donald Trump didn't become the 47th President by accepting "no" for an answer.

The question for every American is simple: Do you want leaders who fight for your interests, or politicians who bow to foreign powers and multinational corporations? President Trump has made his choice crystal clear.

The best is yet to come.

My husband worked at a steel plant for 30 years before it closed due to cheap Chinese imports. We need these tariffs to bring manufacturing back home where it belongs!

Sorry to hear about your husband Sarah. Same thing happened to half my town when the auto parts factory moved to Mexico.

Finally! A president who actually fights for American workers instead of bowing to globalist interests. The Supreme Court has forgotten their duty to protect America's sovereignty.

Exactly right Mike. These justices are more concerned with their cocktail party invitations than protecting our manufacturing jobs.
