Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivered a defiant message to the establishment Friday, promising that President Trump's tariff revolution will continue full steam ahead despite a Supreme Court setback that has the globalists celebrating prematurely.

Speaking on Fox News Channel's "The Will Cain Show," Bessent responded to the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling that restricted the Trump administration's use of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) with characteristic America First determination.

"We predict no decrease in tariff revenue for 2026," Bessent declared, sending a clear signal that the Trump-Vance administration won't be deterred by judicial roadblocks or deep state resistance to putting American workers first.

Trump's Trade War Success Continues

The Supreme Court ruling represents just another attempt by the Washington establishment to hamstring President Trump's proven economic agenda. But as Bessent made clear, this administration has multiple tools at its disposal to continue the tariff policies that have already brought manufacturing jobs back to America and forced our trading partners to respect us again.

"The President's commitment to protecting American industry and workers remains unwavering, regardless of what the courts or our critics say,"

While the mainstream media spins this as a "defeat" for Trump, Patriots know better. This is the same playbook they used during Trump's first term – throw up every legal obstacle possible to slow down the America First agenda. But just like before, President Trump and his team will find a way to deliver results for the American people.

Globalists Celebrate Too Soon

The ruling has globalists and free-trade Republicans thinking they've scored a victory against economic nationalism. But they're forgetting one crucial fact: Donald Trump didn't become the most successful president in modern history by giving up when faced with obstacles.

Bessent's confident prediction sends a clear message to both America's trade partners and domestic critics – the era of America getting ripped off in trade deals is over, Supreme Court or no Supreme Court.

Will the deep state's latest attempt to sabotage Trump's economic agenda succeed, or will the master dealmaker once again prove his critics wrong?

Love the fighting spirit but I'm genuinely curious - what alternative revenue mechanisms is he considering? We still need to fund the government and reduce the deficit.

As someone who's been in manufacturing for 20 years, I can tell you tariffs actually helped level the playing field with cheap foreign imports. How exactly is Bessent planning to make up that revenue shortfall though?

This is exactly the kind of defiance we voted for! No backing down, no compromising our economic sovereignty to activist courts.

100% agree. We can't let judicial activism dictate fiscal policy when it's clearly an executive branch responsibility.

Finally! Someone in Treasury with a backbone who won't cave to the establishment. Bessent is showing real leadership here - we need more revenue streams that put America first, not less.

Exactly! The Supreme Court overreach on economic policy is getting ridiculous. Treasury knows the numbers better than nine judges.
