The Trump administration is refusing to back down from its America First trade agenda, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaling full steam ahead on tariffs despite a Supreme Court setback that has the establishment celebrating prematurely.
In a 6-3 decision that shocked no one paying attention to the Deep State's judicial allies, the Supreme Court limited President Trump's ability to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) for his so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs. Predictably, Trump's critics immediately declared victory and proclaimed the death of his trade strategy.
They couldn't be more wrong.
Secretary Bessent made it crystal clear that this administration has multiple tools in its toolkit to protect American workers and businesses from unfair foreign competition. The ruling may have closed one door, but Patriots know Trump always has a backup plan—and usually several more after that.
The Establishment Celebrates Too Early
While the usual suspects in the legacy media and among Never-Trump Republicans are popping champagne, they're forgetting one crucial fact: Donald Trump didn't become President by giving up when faced with obstacles. He became President by finding creative solutions that put America First.
The Supreme Court's decision, while disappointing, doesn't eliminate Congress's constitutional authority to impose tariffs or the President's broad powers under existing trade laws. What it does reveal is how even conservative justices can sometimes fall prey to globalist thinking that prioritizes international trade over American sovereignty.
"This ruling changes nothing about our commitment to fair trade and protecting American workers from countries that cheat," a Treasury official close to Bessent reportedly stated.
The real question isn't whether Trump will find another way—it's how quickly he'll implement it. Patriots who voted for America First policies in 2024 didn't elect a President who retreats at the first sign of judicial pushback.
Will the Supreme Court's attempt to handcuff Trump's trade policy succeed, or will this President once again prove that the establishment underestimates him at their own peril?
